What's New in Firefighter Trades
1.1.0
August 6, 2026
SHIFT CALENDAR WITH DIVISION COLORS Calendar days are now color-coded by which division is on duty — A, B, or C — so you can see at a glance who's working any given date. When you post a trade-off day, the calendar keeps you to the days you're actually scheduled, so you can't accidentally post a shift you were never on. (Available for departments with a set rotation.) NOTES ON YOUR TRADE-OFF DAYS Add an optional note to any day you post — a partial-shift detail, a heads-up about the assignment, or anything a trade partner should know before they propose. Notes show up right on the day in Find Trades. SHARE THE APP BY TEXT Don't have a coworker's email? Tap Share via Text on the invite screen and we'll build a message with a download link and your department's access code — ready to send in one tap. Plus fixes and polish throughout, including a clearer sign-up screen.
