## What is ShiftCal®?

ShiftCal® is a platoon-based calendar for emergency service personnel working 24-hour shifts. 

It is easily customized for any regular schedule of two to six platoons and uses the same shift schedule (.ini) files as the desktop version. 

Create multiple shift schedules and switch between them at will - keep track of schedules for family members or neighboring agencies.

Display Kelly days, RDO's, or debit days in an alternate color. 

Quickly create new shift schedules using the "Paste from Clipboard" option - see the "Help" tab. 

ShiftCal is not an appointment calendar - you already have an excellent one on your device.
