Install Specset on your phone

Specset can now be installed to your home screen. It opens in its own window without the browser address bar, keeps its own icon in your app switcher, and stays up to date on its own.

  • iPhone and iPad. Open Specset in Safari, tap Share, then Add to Home Screen. iOS keeps installed apps separate from Safari, so you sign in once more the first time you open it.
  • Android. Chrome offers Install app from the account menu, or prompts you directly. It installs as a normal Android app.
  • Desktop. Chrome and Edge can install Specset the same way, from the account menu.

Specset still needs a connection to load your projects. What changes is that a dropped signal no longer means a blank page: the app starts, tells you it cannot reach the server, and gives you a retry button. When a new version ships you get an Update available badge, on phones as well as desktop.

Nothing changes if you prefer the browser. Installing is optional and the web app works exactly as before.

See Install the app for the full walkthrough, including how to update and how to remove it.

Introducing the Specset changelog

Specset now has a dedicated changelog. Every product update we ship lands on this page, with screenshots and short demos so you can see what changed without digging through release notes.

Alongside it, the documentation has a new home at docs.specset.com. The help center is now organized into focused pages for each part of the platform, from creating your first project to the F&M portal, with full-text search and deep links you can share with your team.

Native Gantt scheduling

Specset now includes a native scheduling module, so the schedule can live next to the documents it depends on.

  • CPM engine. Activities, dependencies, and critical-path calculation run natively; no round-trips to a separate scheduling tool.
  • P6 import and export. Bring in an existing Primavera P6 schedule, work on it in Specset, and export it back out for partners who stay in P6.
  • Versions and lookaheads. Snapshot the schedule as versions to track slippage over time, and build two- to six-week lookahead views for field coordination.

Scheduling is available as an add-on. Contact your account team to enable it.

Project folders, card views, and duplication

Three improvements for teams running many projects at once:

  • Folders. Group the projects list into org-wide folders, so regions, divisions, or phases each get their own shelf.
  • Card views. Projects and locations can now be browsed as visual cards instead of rows, which makes large portfolios much faster to scan.
  • Project duplication. Start a new job from an existing one: duplication clones the documents and the spec and drawing structure into a fresh project, so repeat work skips the setup.
