ShiftRest is the sleep planner built for people who don't work 9-to-5. Nurses, first responders, factory and warehouse crews, drivers, pilots, security — if your schedule rotates, your sleep shouldn't be guesswork. ShiftRest turns your shift roster into a clear, personalised plan for when to sleep, when to nap, and when to stop drinking caffeine. WHY SHIFTREST • Built specifically for shift and night work — not a generic sleep app. • Works fully offline. No account, no tracking, no data collection. PLAN YOUR SLEEP AUTOMATICALLY • Add your shifts — or generate a whole rotating pattern (e.g. 4 on / 4 off) in seconds. • Get a tailored main-sleep window, a strategic nap, and a caffeine cut-off time for every shift. • See at a glance what to do now and when your next sleep begins. STAY ON TRACK • Optional reminders for bedtime, wake-up, naps, and your caffeine cut-off. • Daily check-in and streak to help you build a healthier routine. • A recovery score that blends your check-ins and consistency. • Connect Apple Health to compare how you actually slept versus your plan. • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets show your next sleep window. DO MORE WITH PRO • Save unlimited rotation templates. • Detailed caffeine planning with a clear "last coffee by" time. • Your recovery score and Health insights. CUSTOMISE IT TO YOU • Set your target sleep, commute, wind-down time, and caffeine sensitivity. • Choose day, evening, night, custom, or rest days. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything stays on your device. ShiftRest collects no personal data. ShiftRest offers general guidance to help you plan rest around shift work. It is not medical advice. If you have concerns about sleep or fatigue, consult a qualified healthcare provider.
