## What is Guardians?

Guardians is the on-call calendar built for doctors, residents, medical students, and nurses who don't fit into a normal schedule.

Set your rotation pattern once — A, A-B, all the way to A-G, custom cycles, or specific weekdays — and Guardians projects your shifts, vacations and free weekends months ahead. No spreadsheets, no mental math.

- Cycle progress %, next shift, days until your next free weekend

NOTES THAT MATTER
