Traditional calendar apps aren’t ideal for shift workers. You don’t necessarily work a traditional Monday to Friday 9-5 job. That makes it hard to keep track of when you’re working, especially with early morning and overnight schedules.

Shifts solves this problem with a simple solution. Create your own custom shifts using our attractive icons and color picker, then add them to your calendar with just one tap. 

You can add up to 2 shifts per day, or setup a shift rotation and apply it to your Shifts calendar all at once. This makes it easy to enter an entire month – or even year’s worth of shifts in less than a minute! See any of your upcoming shifts right from the lock screen.

After you’ve entered your shifts, you can view them in our beautiful month view calendar, or in a handy list format. You can overlay your personal calendar on top, so you’ll know when you have things going on outside of work.

With just a tap you can share your schedule with friends, family, and co-workers – whether they’re using Shifts or not. 

Built exclusively for iOS 8 and Apple’s latest iPhones, Shifts is the modern way to keep track of your work schedule.

********************************************************   

CREATE SHIFTS

Add as many shifts as you’d like, and choose your own icon and headerr for each shift type.

ADD TO CALENDAR WITH ONE TAP

Select one of your shifts, then tap each day on the calendar you’d like to add it to. Up to 2 shifts per day.

SHARE YOUR SCHEDULE

Send friends, family, and co-workers your work schedule whether they’re using Shifts or not.

VIEW UPCOMING SHIFTS RIGHT IN THE WIDGET

See your schedule without even opening up the app, right from the lock screen, or from inside any other app.

SET UP CUSTOM SHIFT ROTATIONS

Set up shift rotations and Shifts will automatically apply your shifts over any date range you choose – great for repeating schedules (e.g. a 3-week schedule that repeats for 4 months).

### 4/5 — Dark mode

*2023-02-02*

Wish it had dark mode

### 1/5 — Lacks some features for the money

*2020-10-22*

DO NOT BUY. App crashes, no longer supported, but still a paid app!!!!!!!!!

### 5/5 — UPDATE

*2019-08-31*

This is the most beautiful layout and so easy to use but I have an iPhone X now pleas update

### 5/5 — Best app for shift work

*2019-05-15*

I love this design the best! Easy to use and looks clean.

### 5/5 — Great app. Works well for Police, Nurses and Firefighters

*2019-04-01, version 1.0.1*

Great app. Works well for Police, Nurses and Firefighters.  The shift rotations and plug and play is excellent. I would like to make it so more than 2 “shifts” can be listed on one day. And maybe more and different “icons”. (As you can probably already tell, I work a lot).

### 3/5 — Great but needs an extra few things

*2019-02-01*

I would totally rate this 5 stars if the app would: 
- let me change Monday to be the start of the week and not Sunday
- sync to my main iPhone calendar

### 3/5 — Not sure what happened

*2018-11-12, version 1.0.1*

I’ve enjoyed this app for a few months but when I opened it yesterday saw that all of my shifts have been pushed a day back to where they actually are. For months. So my entire schedule, including overtime and days off, is incorrect by one day. No idea how this happened and it’s very stressful and inconvenient because I’m on a trip and unable to access my correct work calendar.

### 1/5 — Company no longer cares about this product

*2018-07-18*

The company is no longer doing anything with this app. Do not get it as the minute you have an issue (and you probably will) then there will be no assistance for you. They have moved on from this app to their other apps and want nothing to do with this. Just a heads up.

### 4/5 — Pretty good

*2018-02-24*

I really like it, great potential. The only thing is that I wish I could see my upcoming shifts from my watch face on my Apple Watch. I also wish I could add overtime to some shifts so I can get a more accurate reading on how much I would make

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2017-11-24*

Won’t even open with iOS 11. Don’t respond to support emails. Do not get this app.
