## What is Duty shift?

Duty shift is your essential tool for every sea voyage. Sailing is a pleasure, but crew management is a duty. Duty shift takes this burden off the captain's shoulders. Forget about scraps of paper and arguments about who takes the helm next.

MAIN FEATURES:

SMART SCHEDULE
Choose the Fixed System (Swedish) or Fair Rotation. The algorithm ensures every crew member spends equal time on deck and in the galley.

AUTOMATIC LOGBOOK
The app saves GPS positions at every watch change. After the voyage, you have a ready route history on the map.

NOTIFICATIONS & "THAT'S ME"
The system automatically sends notifications before a watch change. Mark yourself with the "That's Me" feature to filter notifications just for you and switch the main dashboard timer to count down to your specific watch or rest time.

CREW LIST WITH AVATARS
Add crew members and personalize their profiles with fun Emoji avatars.
