## What is Shift Worker Calendar & Alarm?

Shift Alarm is the all-in-one app for shift workers. Paint your rotation on a
  calendar, and the app detects your pattern and fills it forward for 2 years.
  Set alarms that fire like the built-in Clock app — through Silent Mode and Do
  Not Disturb — so you never oversleep a shift again.

  SHIFT CALENDAR

  - Create custom shift types with names, colors, and emoji
  - Auto-detect repeating patterns (2-on-2-off, 4-on-4-off, any rotation)
  - Lock your pattern to auto-fill 2 years of shifts
  - Add per-day notes with visual indicators
  - Guided setup walks you through your first pattern

  SYSTEM ALARMS

  - Sound through Silent Mode and Do Not Disturb

  BILLS TRACKER

  - Surplus or deficit calculation so you know where you stand

  EXPORT EVERYWHERE

  Built specifically for nurses, firefighters, police officers, factory workers,
   and anyone on a rotating schedule. Shift Alarm replaces your alarm clock, pay
   stub calculator, and bill tracker with one simple app.

### 5/5 — Best calendar ever

*2026-03-13*

Honestly, for all the features this app has. It’s taken a lot of the thinking out of my budgeting and pay potential. Not only that it’s also saved me on multiple occasions where I forgot to put my alarm on my actual phone alarm and it’s woken me up. 10 out 10 recommend to any shift personnel who are trying to find a multiple use app. 

Makes me want to work overtime to see my actual potential for a week/month looks like.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2026-03-13*

I really like this app! It’s easy to set up your work schedule and alarm schedule. The inside features are also pretty cool.  Great app.
