drillbag

how to use the app

Half a minute on how it works.

tap for sound

Someone you drill with sent you a link. Here's everything you need to know.

01 · your linkThe link is your login.

Tap it and you're in. No password, and that phone stays signed in. Once Drillbag's on your home screen, the icon signs you in.

Don't forward it. Anyone holding it is you. If you lose it, put in your number or email at www.drillbag.app/signin. Drillbag texts you a fresh one if you get its texts, or emails it if it has your email. Nothing came? Write to [email protected].

02 · notificationsTurn on notifications.

A ping on your phone when a session opens to you, instead of a text. Nothing between 11 pm and 7 am.

On an iPhone, put it on your home screen first. Tap the dots at the bottom of Safari, then Share, then Add to Home Screen. Open Drillbag from the new icon, tap your name at the top, then tap TURN ON NOTIFICATIONS

twenty seconds on how

On Android, no home screen needed. Tap your name at the top, then tap TURN ON NOTIFICATIONS

Rather have texts? On the same page, type your number and tap TEXT ME REMINDERS

03 · your peopleSort them, and the app comes alive.

Open PEOPLE and sort the people you drill with into three tiers. Sorting someone does two things. Your sessions can reach them. Put them in Tier 1 or 2 and you hear when they open a session to you.

Sort nobody and nobody sees what you post. The more people you sort, the further your sessions can reach. Whoever brought you in starts in your Tier 1. Move them any time. Sessions from people who sorted you still show on your WEEK. Quietly.

Not sure about someone? Put them in Tier 3. They see your session last, and only if you widen it that far.

Nobody is shown where you put them, or whether you put them anywhere. How tiers work, in three pictures.

04 · weekFirst tap takes the spot.

WEEK is every session open to you. Pink I'M IN means there's room. Tap it and the spot is yours. Nobody can bump you, and when it's full it's full.

Two texts per session at most: it opened, and it's on. Plus the news if it moves or gets called off.

Plans change? Open the session and tap I need to drop out. Any time, no strikes.

05 · postGot a court? Post it.

POST puts your session in front of your Tier 1. Day, time, place, how many. First tap takes the spot, same as yours. If it's still short at the time you set, it widens to your next tier. Add a note if it helps: singles, flexible on time, whatever.

06 · bring someone inDrilling with someone new? Bring them in.

Only add people you'd actually drill with.

Open PEOPLE and go to ADD SOMEONE. Type their number and their name, and say who'd drill with them: your crew too, or just you. Tap a tier. Then tap Copy invite on their row and text it to them yourself. A link from you lands better than any app ever will.

If they're with your crew, everyone in it who has you in a tier gets asked whether to add them once they open it. Nobody is told who said yes.

Anyone else, send them to www.drillbag.app. They can get on the list for a crew of their own.
