## What is HitchCal?

HitchCal shows your rotation - and tells your family when you're home.

NO SUBSCRIPTION. Pay once, yours forever. No ads, no account, no signal needed.

ANY ROTATION, FOREVER
• 14/14, 14/7, 20/10, 30/30, 7/7 - or build your own X-on / Y-off
• Day and night swings within one hitch, color-coded
• Projects years ahead and NEVER breaks at the new year
• Pick a preset or set custom on/off days - no fiddly setup

WHEN AM I HOME?
• Big countdown: days until home, or days until crew change
• Widgets: the countdown on your home screen AND lock screen
• Tap any day to see exactly what it is
• Color-coded month: on hitch, night shift, home - one glance

NEVER MISS A CREW CHANGE
• One switch: HitchCal rings at 6 pm the evening before every change
• "Hitch starts tomorrow - pack tonight" and "Home tomorrow"
• Works with no signal - alerts are set right on your phone

SHARE WITH FAMILY (the part people love)
• Send your hitch by Messages, Mail or AirDrop
• It drops straight into your partner's calendar app
• They always know when you're back - no more guessing the dates

BUILT FOR THE FIELD
• Big, high-contrast days readable at arm's length
• Pickers, not typing - works with gloves on
• 100% offline, your schedule never leaves your phone

For oilfield, offshore, FIFO mining, tanker and merchant-marine crews - anyone who works a rotation and just wants to know when they're home.
