Quickly insert your shifts into your calendar of choice. Share them with your loved ones and be alerted before the shift begins. T-Shifts sports the following major features: - an easy to use interface; - syncing with your calendar of choice -- share that calendar with your loved ones if you want to share the shifts information with them; - shifts are customisable by setting their start/end time or by setting them as all-day events; - Calendar alerts can be specified to fire before the shift starts; - support for Spotlight searches - a Today Widget showing upcoming shifts. What's new: - support for setting start and end time for shifts and setting alarms; - bug fixes. The app is optimised towards fast insertion of the the month shifts. You just select the first day of the month and with a single tap you will be able to add the shift for that day and move to the next day. The shifts you insert in the app are shown in a custom view and synced with your calendar of choice. Shifts will appear in your calendar as events that start and end at the timing you choose or as all-day events. By design the app allows for up to 9 kind of shifts to be configured. A single shift event is usually set for a single day, but you are free to set any combination of events you may need. This app does not ever connect to the internet and does not share any information with anyone. This app is a work of love toward my wife Tiziana who needed an easier way to insert shifts in her calendar. It is currently free and I have no plan to make it paid. I hope you will enjoy using it as much as I enjoyed making it.

You saved it because it mattered. Then it sat there. Stash gets you through it. Save an article, and Stash reads it aloud on your iPhone while you cook, commute, or walk the dog. The pile gets smaller in the hours you already have. NO METER Other readers sell you minutes. Stash has no server, so there is nothing to meter. Save two articles or two hundred. Listen to all of them. No word counts, no monthly minutes, no upgrade wall. READS IN YOUR LANGUAGE Stash detects the language of every article and reads it in that language. A German essay, a Japanese blog post, and an English newsletter can sit in the same queue. The natural voice speaks 27 languages: Arabic, Bulgarian, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hindi, Hungarian, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Slovak, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish, Ukrainian, and Vietnamese. Every other language uses the voice built into your iPhone. READY BEFORE YOU ARE Audio is generated in the background the moment you save. Put in your earbuds and it is already waiting. No buffering, no spinner. WORKS WHERE PODCASTS DO NOT The reader, the voice, and the queue all live on your phone. Airplane mode, the subway, a dead zone in the hills. Nothing changes. THE QUEUE EMPTIES ITSELF Finish an article and it moves to the archive on its own. Favorite the ones you want to keep. No tidying, no ritual. NO NONSENSE No account. No onboarding. No ads. No tracking. No subscription. No limits. Download it, share an article from Safari, press play. That is the whole setup. WHAT YOU CAN DO - Stash from the share sheet, a pasted link, or plain text - Listen to a natural on-device voice in 27 languages, or read along with the text - Drag to reorder the queue, or send something to the top - Speed and a sleep timer. Nothing else to configure. - Export any article. It is your data. - Sync across your devices with iCloud. No iCloud? Stash still works. BUILT TO LAST We build every version as if it is the last one we will ever ship. There is no server, so nothing leaves your phone, and the Stash on your phone keeps working without us. One purchase. Every update included, including better voices when better open models land. Made by two people who wanted a read-later app that respects them. SUPPORT / FEEDBACK / CONTACT Questions or feedback?

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: T at Free against Stash's $19.99. T also leads on iOS requirement (16.6 vs 26.1). Stash's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 4 months). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
