Try Syndik8 with demo data
Set up a disposable, fully-populated syndicate in one tap so you can click around Syndik8 without creating real data.
Before you start
Section titled “Before you start”- You need a Syndik8 account. If you do not have one, sign up first; you land in the onboarding wizard automatically.
- Demos are for brand-new accounts. If you already belong to a syndicate, the demo button is either hidden or will refuse with an error — leave your existing syndicate first, or sign up with a fresh account to try the demo.
- The demo counts as one syndicate on your account and respects the free-tier limits (one asset, three members).
- Demos are auto-cleaned 14 days after the owner’s last sign-in. You do not have to delete it yourself — but if you stay active, it sticks around.
- Sign in (or sign up) and let the app land you on the onboarding Welcome step.
- Below the Get Started button, tap Skip onboarding — launch demo. The button label changes to Setting up your demo… while the server seeds it — this takes a couple of seconds.
- The app navigates you straight to the new syndicate’s dashboard.
Your new syndicate has:
- One aircraft — a Cessna 172 with registration G-DEMO and a realistic photo.
- Two fake members — Amy Admin (admin role) and Mike Member (member role). Both use
@syndik8.appaddresses with notification emails fully disabled, so nothing they do generates real messages. - You as owner — the tutorial screenshots call this persona Owen Owner so that names match what you see.
- About thirty bookings spread across the last four weeks and the next eight weeks, with usage logs on past ones.
- Two open non-grounding squawks and two upcoming (but not overdue) maintenance items.
- One maintenance block in the future.
Every screenshot in this documentation is taken against this exact demo, so names, registration, and numbers will match what you see on screen.
How to know you are in the demo
Section titled “How to know you are in the demo”The top of every demo-syndicate screen shows a persistent banner:
This is a demo — delete it when you’re done. You can always create a fresh one.
To leave the demo
Section titled “To leave the demo”You have two options:
- Do nothing. The demo disappears on its own fourteen days after you last sign in.
- Delete it now. Open Syndicate settings → Manage membership and delete the syndicate. Demo members and their data are cleaned up for you.
You can then launch a fresh demo from onboarding, or create your real syndicate.
If it goes wrong
Section titled “If it goes wrong”- The demo button did not appear on the welcome step. You already belong to a syndicate on this account. The demo flow is designed for first-time exploration and is hidden once you have any active membership.
- “User already belongs to a syndicate” error. Same root cause as above — the server refuses when you already have an active membership. Remove your existing membership, or use a fresh account.
- “Could not create demo: …” snackbar. A transient network or server error. Tap the button again. If it keeps failing, sign out and back in so you get a fresh auth token.
- The demo disappeared between sessions. Fourteen days of no sign-in triggers cleanup. Launching a new demo gives you the same shape with fresh data.
