Your Emirates roster, on your phone or tablet
Starlog Sync for your Mac or PC
Install it once on your computer. Starlog Sync reads your roster every hour and sends it to Starlog on your phone, sealed with a key only your phone holds. You only hear from it when Emirates wants a new sign-in.
macOS 12 or later · Windows 10 or 11 · included with Starlog
- Install and open Starlog Sync — it lives in your menu bar (Mac) or next to the clock (Windows).
- Pair your phone: scan the code with your iPhone Camera and tap Pair.
- Sign in to the crew portal on Microsoft’s own page: your Emirates e-mail, then approve in Authenticator. Starlog Sync remembers the e-mail, so a later sign-in is just the approval.
Emirates keeps the aircraft registration only for recent flights, so older ones arrive without it. Import your previous logbook in Starlog for those; Starlog takes over from the day you start.
Other ways
Backup — Microsoft Edge on your computer. If you would rather not install Starlog Sync, Edge can do the same with the Starlog extension: open your roster and it is sent to your phone. Set it up below.
On your phone alone — the roster PDF. In Edge on your phone, open your roster, use the portal’s Print / Email and share the PDF to Starlog. It carries every duty at its scheduled times; registrations, crew and actual block times come only from your computer. How.
The one-time setup cannot be done on a phone or tablet — neither will let you create this kind of bookmark. Do these four steps in Edge on a Mac or PC. Your phone or tablet takes over at the end.
On your computer, open starlogbook.com/airline/emirates
Which computer are you on?
2 Which device should fetch your roster?
Not sure? Start with My computer fetches it — on iPhone and iPad, Edge refuses to run the bookmark the phone route needs. No computer at hand: open your roster in Edge on the phone, use the portal’s Print / Email and share the PDF to Starlog.
Set up once — about five minutes
Make the Starlog bookmark in Edge on a computer. It flies to your device by itself.
-
Turn on favourites sync
In Edge: ··· → Settings → Profiles → Sync → Favourites on. Do this on the computer and on your phone or tablet, signed in to the same account.
Use your private Microsoft account. It only carries the bookmark between your own devices — nothing to do with your crew-portal login.
-
Show the favourites bar
Press ⌘⇧BCtrlShiftB — that is the whole step.
Prefer menus? ··· → Settings → Appearance → Show favourites bar → Always.
-
Drag Starlog onto the bar
Drag the gold button — do not click it.
orThen ··· → Favourites → Add favourite, name it Starlog, paste into URL.
-
On your phone
Starlog → Sync roster → Favourites → Starlog. That is the last step.
Everything after the tap is automatic: a bar across the top of the page fills as it counts the months, then your layover station pages, then Starlog reopens and imports it. Nothing else to press.
No Starlog in your phone’s favourites? Sync has not landed yet — check step 1 on both devices.
-
From now on
Setup is done. Getting your roster is two taps, any time, anywhere.
No computer, no bookmark to make again. Change the month under History import and copy the favourite once more if you want a different reach.
Why does it have to be Edge?
Emirates decides which apps are allowed to open your roster on a phone. Edge is on that list. Safari is not — try it there and the portal sends you to a page telling you to use Edge.
Starlog is not on the list either, and we will not pretend to be another app to get around it. So Edge reads your roster, and hands it to Starlog.
On a computer there is no such restriction — which is why the other route, , needs none of this.
The other route — pick one
Backup: Microsoft Edge on your computer
No Starlog Sync on the computer? Install the Starlog extension in Edge. Open your roster there and it sends itself to your phone.
Your computer has no restriction. This extension reads your roster from the crew portal and sends it to your phone, sealed — only your phone can open it.
What it gets you
- Your roster with actual block times, aircraft registrations and crew — everything the portal knows.
- History back as far as the portal serves it, in one go: History from → Send. Emirates keeps the aircraft registration only for recent flights, so older ones arrive without it — import your previous logbook in Starlog for those.
- Nothing to type: open the roster, it is sent; Starlog imports it the next time it comes to the front.
Install
-
Download it
Download the extension and unzip it.
An Edge Add-ons listing is on the way; for now it installs by hand.
-
Open your extensions
In the menu bar: Edge → Microsoft Edge Extensions.
In Edge: ··· → Extensions → Manage extensions.
-
Load the folder
Developer mode on, bottom left. Then Load Unpacked, top right, and pick the unzipped folder.
Replacing an older copy? Remove it first — the version is shown at the bottom of the Starlog popup.
-
Pair it with your phone
Click the Starlog icon → Show pairing code. On the phone open the Camera, point it at the code, tap Open in Starlog → Pair.
Then just open your roster. It is sent every time the page loads; History from in the popup fetches earlier months.
What it never sees
Your Microsoft sign-in. It reads only what the roster page already shows you, in your own browser.
Unpairing
In Starlog: More → Emirates sync → Unpair this computer. In the extension: Forget this pairing.
On your phone alone: the roster PDF
- Open Microsoft Edge on your phone and sign in to the crew portal — Emirates lets only Edge open it on a phone.
- Open your roster and tap the portal’s Print / Email.
- Share the PDF and choose Starlog. Your duties arrive at once.
A printed roster has no registration, aircraft subtype, crew or actual block times — your computer adds those the next time it reads your roster.
