The MeridianOS™ apps for iPhone, iPad and Mac

MeridianOS™ has native apps for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. It is one app from the App Store. Admins and employees sign in to the same app, and the account decides which version each person gets.

There is no Android app. On an Android phone, your team signs in through the browser.

Devices and layouts

The app needs system software version 26 or later and an internet connection, except in the sample business. It is dark on every device, with no light theme.

DeviceLayout
iPhonePortrait only. A slide-out menu opens from the menu button or a swipe from the left edge. It has a Search box and the sections Operations, Billing, Communication, Growth and System.
iPadEvery orientation. A sidebar sits beside your work, and the app remembers whether you collapsed it. In a narrow split view it switches to the iPhone menu.
MacA true Mac app with a sidebar, tables, stat cards and two-column detail pages.
Mac sectionPill tabs
DashboardOverview, KPIs
JobsJobs, Recurring
CustomersCustomers, Lead Forms
ScheduleSchedule, Booking Setup
EmployeesEmployees, Payroll Settings
MessagesInbox, Bulk Send, Lists, Settings

Schedule on Mac has Week and Month views, and Messages is a two-pane inbox. On iPad and Mac, a Go menu lists every section, with Command 1 through Command 9 for the first nine.

Finding your site and signing in

  1. On the welcome screen, select Sign in to your dashboard.
  2. On Find your dashboard, enter the website address of your business. The app tells you if it cannot find a MeridianOS™ dashboard there.
  3. Enter your Username and Password.
  4. If your account uses two-factor, enter the 6-digit code from your authenticator app. It submits itself at the sixth digit.

Depending on your site, the passkey button reads Sign in with a passkey (Face ID, Touch ID or a security key) or Use passkey or saved password, which finishes sign-in in a private browser window. A passkey can also be the second step.

If you are still signed in, Welcome back lets you continue or Sign in with a different account.

Staying signed in and the app lock

  • A session lasts 90 days and extends automatically while you use the app.
  • Require Face ID (or Touch ID or the passcode) is on by default. It locks the app after 5 minutes away and on every fresh launch. You can turn it off in Account.
  • The app rechecks your access whenever it returns to the foreground, and about every minute for employees or five minutes for admins. If access was removed, it signs out at once and clears badges and Tap to Pay on iPhone. You see Sign in again. Your session on this site ended.
  • Deactivated employees cannot sign in, and changing your password signs out your other devices.

Several sites and the sample business

Every site you sign in to is saved with its logo and keeps its own sign-in and MeridianAI voice. Switch site is in Account, and Forget this site removes one.

Try a sample business opens a lawn care company with 12 customers and 4 employees, with you as an admin. It runs on the device with no account, and changes stay there until you exit. The sample leaves out MeridianAI, card payments, Analytics, Marketing, Business Profile and Booking Setup.

Only in the app

Push notifications reach iPhone, iPad and Mac with their own chime, even while the app is open. Under Notify me about, each admin picks from New leads, New bookings, Text messages, Payments, Signed agreements and Jobs completed. Employees get Job assignments and Schedule changes. Tapping an alert opens the exact record. If it belongs to another site you are signed in to, the app switches there first. See Notifications.

  • The Face ID lock described above.
  • The app icon badge counts unread leads plus unread texts for admins, refreshed about every 30 seconds.
  • A red Action needed warning with Open Settings appears when notifications or location are off.
  • Share PDFs, estimate links, signing links and receipts through the device share menu.
  • Contact offers Call, a text from the business number, Text (Your Phone) and Email. Directions opens Apple Maps or Google Maps.
  • MeridianAI monthly credits refresh on the first of each month. Packs of 1,000, 5,000, 10,000 or 50,000 credits are bought through the App Store and never expire.
  • The app offers Update when a newer version is on the App Store.

Tap to Pay on iPhone works on iPhone for admins and for employees with Can collect payments. Each person sets it up on their own iPhone. iPad and Mac have no button for it. See In-person payments.

Done in the browser

These are not in the app. Do them in the browser.

  • The SEO report.
  • Blog post body text and images.
  • Agreement templates.
  • Adding a passkey.
  • Video blocks in an email.
  • First-time connection to Google Business Profile or Google Ads.

Some screens appear only with the right setup.

  • MeridianAI: admins only. Stack Digital turns this on for your site.
  • Analytics, Marketing, Business Profile, Booking Setup and Google Ads: each depends on your site's setup.
  • Without the texting add-on, Messages shows Text messaging is not turned on for your website and text options disappear from send sheets.
  • Without Stripe, cash and check still work. Admins can Connect Stripe inside the app. Card entry, bank payments, refunds, disputes, payouts and Tap to Pay on iPhone all need it.
