## What is ShiftDad?

Every habit app assumes you work 9 to 5. You don't.

Shift Dad is the habit and routine tracker built for dads who work shifts — firefighters, medics, cops, nurses, and anyone on a rotation. It knows the difference between a day on and a day off, so a 24-hour shift never breaks the streak you worked hard to build.

WORKS AROUND YOUR SCHEDULE
Log your shifts — days, nights, 24s, overtime, trades, vacation, and sick days — right on the calendar. Shift Dad automatically pauses your off-day habits while you're at work, so being on shift never counts against you. Your rotation can repeat automatically, so you set it once and forget it.

YOUR OFF DAYS ARE YOUR EDGE
The time you actually have at home is where fatherhood happens. Shift Dad focuses your energy on four things that matter most, weighted in order: Family first, then Fitness, Mind, and Hustle. Check off what you did, keep your streak alive, and watch it add up.

CLIMB THE RANKS
Earn Dad Points for every win and climb the ladder from Rookie Dad to MVP Dad to Hall of Fame Dad. Break a streak? You keep your points and your rank — we just reset the streak and help you get back on the horse. No shame, just momentum.

BUILT-IN TO-DO LIST
Knock out one-off tasks on top of your daily habits — the stuff you keep meaning to do around the house or with the kids. They earn points too.

EVERYTHING SYNCS
Sign in with Apple or Google and your habits, streaks, schedule, and progress back up to the cloud and follow you to any device.

SHARE YOUR WINS
Turn your streak into a shareable card and let the crew see what you're building.
