The Overlap

For crew

You’re both in Tokyo on Thursday.

Mark your days off and your trips — The Overlap finds the layovers and days off you share with friends. Wherever you land — land together.

Sound familiar

Your best friend was in Singapore last Tuesday.

Same hotel block.

You found out on Thursday.

Crew life scatters your people across the planet. The group chat is roster screenshots and guesswork — nobody cross-checks twelve time zones by hand. The overlap was right there. You just couldn’t see it.

How it works

Three steps. Then dinner.

The Overlap app — Overlaps feed: next overlap in Sydney, month horizon strip, later-this-month rows

01

Mark your month

Tap the days you’re off, drag across a run of them, add each trip with its layovers. A couple of minutes for a month — and every day in it is one you put there.

TappedFri 5 · day off
AddedTrip · SYD · Sat 6 – Sun 7
Sat 6 – Sun 7 JunLayover

SYD · One night in Sydney

Deliberate, not guessed. No spreadsheets, no screenshots in the group chat.

02

We find the overlaps

Your layovers and days off are quietly cross-checked with your friends’. Same city, same dates — that’s an overlap, and it rises to the top of your feed.

A 41-hour Tokyo layover. A Tuesday off at home. Both count.

03

Make it a plan

Open the overlap, tap “I’m in”, and everyone sees who’s going. When the whole crew’s in — everyone’s in, reminders set.

From roster to reservation in three taps.

The moment

Two rosters. One city.

SYD Sydney

One night in Sydney with Priya

Same crew hotel, overlapping evening

Plan the evening ›

Same city, same dates — that’s the overlap.

Two kinds of lucky

Layover or day off — it counts.

Kind 01 · Layover

You're in their city.

Twenty-six hours in Singapore. Your best friend from training is based there. The Overlap makes sure you don't find out on the flight home.

Kind 02 · Day off

They're in yours.

A quiet Tuesday at home in Hong Kong — and her 48-hour HKG layover. You'd never have checked. It's already in your feed.

Where the two circles meet — that’s the overlap.

Inside the app

Built for the crew room.

F·01

A feed of overlaps, not noise.

Your next shared city sits at the top — who, where, and for how long. A horizon strip shows the whole month at a glance.

F·02

Tap. It opens right there.

Cards expand in place — no modal maze. Who’s in town, which nights line up, layover or day off: it’s all on the card.

Two phones side by side on dark slate — your feed and a friend's day-off card, joined by a thread of light

F·03

Commitment you can see.

Tap “I’m in” and everyone sees who’s going. When the whole crew’s in — everyone’s in, reminders set. The plan holds itself together.

In sync with your calendar.

Every overlap lands in your calendar view, right beside the month you marked. Mark it once — the overlaps keep themselves current.

Field stories

Four rosters, one long table. Nobody checked a spreadsheet.

Tokyo, unplanned

Wei was passing through. So was Tom. The Overlap did the math.

Illustrative scenes — our design personas, not real crew

Privacy first

Your roster stays yours.

Crew life runs on rosters — and rosters are personal. The Overlap is built so you share moments, not your movements.

Friends see overlaps, never your schedule

Only the cities and dates you share surface to friends. Your full roster is never visible to anyone but you.

Dates and cities, nothing more

Finding an overlap takes two dates and a city — so that is all The Overlap ever compares. It works quietly in the background, and there are no feeds of anybody's month.

Leave with everything

Delete your account any time — your roster data and overlaps go with you.

Field notes

The group chat, upgraded.

“Three of us had the same Paris weekend and none of us knew. We'd have all sat in our hotel rooms.”
