WHAT IS FINDING YOUR NEXT CAR MEET AND SHOW FELT AS EXCITING AS PICKING A MOVIE?
CrateOS turns car event discovery into something visual, immersive, and actually fun.No feeds. No fluff. Just the lineup.
CrateOS is the first platform built for the scene that actually feels like the scene.
No scrolling through stories. No missing flyers. No clunky forms.
Just clean listings—laid out like a now-showing lineup.
Now Browsing: The Car Scene
CrateOS helps you:
- Discover car meets and shows visually—like flipping through movie posters
- Register your build—with no app download, no clunky forms
- Find events near you—without scrolling through stories or group chats

This is what car event discovery should’ve felt like all along.
Why Organizers Are Already Listing Here
There’s no catch.
Just list your car meet or show—for free. Even if you don’t use our other features, your event gets:
- A dedicated page for your event
- Clean, sharable layout for mobile and desktop
- Visibility beyond the algorithm
- Car owners registering through CrateOS (without you lifting a finger)
And once attendees start finding your event through us…
You'll see why more organizers are making the switch.
Who Built This—and Why
Our team brings 25 years of IT and programming experience, combined with extensive ecommerce knowledge and real-world involvement through Import Crate—our automotive lifestyle shop with a presence both online and in retail. We vend at car shows. We sponsor events. We talk to organizers and attendees every week. We’re on the ground, seeing what works, what fails, and what’s missing.
We’ve seen firsthand how car culture connects people—and how frustrating it can be when meet info gets lost in the noise. crateOS was built to fix that—not from the outside looking in, but from within the culture itself.
We’re Starting with a True MVP
CrateOS is launching in phases—starting with a lean, minimum viable product (MVP) focused on what matters most: making it easier to post, find, and register for real car meets and shows.
We’ve built this intentionally. No feed. No bloat. No unnecessary extras.
Just the tools the scene actually needs, delivered with performance in mind.
The platform is under active development, with new features rolled out in focused phases—each shaped by a clear vision and long-term roadmap.
We’re not just listening to the community—we’re building for it.
And we’re doing it without distractions, without investors, and without shortcuts.
Join Early. Help Build What’s Next.
We’re not backed by investors. We’re building this independently, fueled by the same community it’s built to serve.
If you believe in what crateOS stands for—a better way to connect the scene—here’s how you can help make it real:
- Follow @crateonscene – That’s where updates, previews, and launch announcements go first
- Spread the word – Know a host, vendor, or shop that should be on this? Let them know
- Shop Import Crate – A portion of every order helps fund development. Yes—your shirt, sticker, or poster actually helps build the future of meets
- Be one of the first hosts – We’re tracking early supporters. The ones who get in early will be the first to benefit once the full platform rolls out
CrateOS Isn’t Social Media. It’s Infrastructure for the Culture.
We’re not here to build the next trending app.
We’re here to support the people who actually make the car scene happen—one event, one car, one crew at a time.
Whether you're a host or a first-time attendee, CrateOS helps you find your place in the lot.
This isn’t just an app.It’s a tool for the people who make the culture move.
And it’s only getting started.
