While Think Crew is primarily a web-based application, you can create a desktop experience that provides quick access and a dedicated window for your production management needs.
Creating a Desktop Application Experience #
Think Crew can be installed as a Progressive Web App (PWA) on most modern operating systems. This gives you an app-like experience with its own icon in your dock or taskbar.
Installation Steps #
Follow these simple steps to install Think Crew on your desktop:
For macOS (Chrome) #
- Open Google Chrome and navigate to the Think Crew website
- Log in to your account
- Click the menu icon (three dots) in the top right corner
- Select “Install Think Crew…” or “More tools” > “Create shortcut…”
- Check “Open as window” and click “Create”
- Think Crew will now appear in your Applications folder and Dock
For Windows (Chrome) #
- Open Google Chrome and navigate to the Think Crew website
- Log in to your account
- Click the menu icon (three dots) in the top right corner
- Select “Install Think Crew…” or “More tools” > “Create shortcut…”
- Check “Open as window” and click “Create”
- Think Crew will now appear in your Start menu and taskbar
Benefits of Desktop Installation #
Running Think Crew as a desktop application offers several advantages:
- Quick access without opening your browser first
- Dedicated window separate from your other browser tabs
- Ability to use keyboard shortcuts specific to Think Crew
- Automatic startup option with your computer (can be configured in system settings)
- Reduced browser clutter when working on complex productions
System Requirements #
For optimal desktop performance, we recommend:
- Modern operating system (macOS 10.15+, Windows 10+)
- Up-to-date Chrome, Edge, or Safari browser
- Minimum 8GB RAM
- Stable internet connection
- 1280 x 800 screen resolution or higher
The desktop installation still requires an internet connection to function, as it connects to our servers for real-time collaboration and data storage.
