SMPW Scheduler is the fastest way to build a volunteer rotation. Add names, pick a start and end time, choose an interval, and tap Shuffle. You get a clean, color-coded schedule you can share as an image in one tap. No accounts, no logins, no syncing services to configure — open the app and go. FEATURES • Fast schedule generation — enter volunteers, set a time window, shuffle. • Multiple locations — assign volunteers across two or more spots in a single schedule. • Flexible time intervals — 15, 20, 30, 60 minutes, or a custom length. • Optional date header and scriptural point line. • Color-coded assignments for easy reading. • Dark mode. • One-tap share — sends the schedule as a PNG through Messages, Mail, or any other app. Recipients don't need the app installed. • Save the image directly to Photos. • Works fully offline. PRIVACY SMPW Scheduler does not collect personal information. No accounts, no analytics, no ads, no tracking. Every schedule you build stays on your device. The only network call the app ever makes is to increment a global counter that tracks how many schedules have been generated across all users — no names, no device info, no schedule contents.
