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.
