Open the app, tap the day, pick your shift type. Done. Your entire week is filled in under a minute. The calendar gives you an instant overview of your work schedule—collapse it to see the current week at a glance, or expand it to browse the full month, with smooth, native transitions. No more screenshots of messy spreadsheets. No more photos of the rota pinned to the break room wall. The Dashboard shows the numbers that actually matter: • Total hours for the week • Average daily hours • Rest days in the week • Your next day off The home screen widget keeps your next shift visible without opening the app. One glance and you know what's coming. Understand your shifts with Reports. Want to know how many hours you *really* work? What are your busiest days? How many consecutive nights?

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Shifter holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Shifter has 18 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Shifter's written reviews are positive against 100% of Sheefts's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
