SHIFT is the day-of timeline app for event professionals. Build your run-of-show, then run the day from it — and when something runs late, SHIFT instantly recalculates everything downstream so your whole team knows the new plan. Made for planners, photographers, DJs, caterers, and anyone who runs live events where timing is everything. BUILD THE RUN-OF-SHOW Lay out your event as a timeline of blocks — prep, ceremony, first look, dinner, speeches, send-off. Pin the moments that can't move, like a ceremony start or golden hour, and let everything else flex around them. WHEN THE DAY RUNS LATE, SHIFT ADAPTS This is the heart of the app. Fall behind and a single adjustment ripples through the rest of the day: flexible blocks compress proportionally, conflicts are flagged, and the new schedule is ready in an instant — no recalculating by hand while the day is happening around you. RUN IT LIVE A live dashboard shows the current block, what's next, and how the day is tracking against plan. Push the timeline forward as you go and keep everyone on the same page in real time. BRING YOUR TEAM Invite vendors and team members to an event. Each person gets their own assignments, the full run-of-show, and a live alert whenever the schedule shifts — on their phone and Apple Watch. START FROM A TEMPLATE Begin with a proven run-sheet instead of a blank page. Browse Community Templates shared by working pros, or save any event as a reusable template of your own. THE VENDOR MARKETPLACE Find the right vendor, then run the day with them. Search photographers, DJs, caterers, florists and more by category, service area, and availability on your event date. Every profile shows stats derived from events actually run in Shift — completed events and average rating — so you're looking at real, verified history, not claims. Send a service request, agree the details in in-app chat, and when the vendor accepts they're added to your event timeline automatically — with the run-of-show, live alerts, and their assignments on their own device. Are you a vendor? Create a profile, show your portfolio, mark the days you're booked, and get requests from planners who already run their events in Shift. FREE AND PRO SHIFT is free to use — including building timelines, inviting vendors, and the full marketplace. Upgrade to SHIFT Pro for unlimited active events, larger timelines, the Apple Watch companion, widgets and Live Activities, and document export.
