Rota Calendar vs Shift It

Does working shifts make planning your personal life difficult? Rota Calendar helps shift workers scroll through shifts, see schedules years ahead, and plan life around work with confidence. Standard digital calendars make it hard to understand long-term shift patterns. Rota Calendar is built specifically for shift work, making it easy to see when you’re working, resting, or free — even years in advance. Enter the date of your next shift and your rotation is calculated instantly, generating your shift schedule up to five years ahead. From there, scroll smoothly through time to plan vacations, social events, family commitments, and important dates without guesswork. Designed for Real Shift Work Rota Calendar supports both repeating and irregular shift patterns. You can manually add, edit, or adjust individual shifts at any time, making it ideal for complex or changing schedules. Customize shifts with your own colors, labels, times, and emojis so different shift types are easy to recognize at a glance. Individual shifts can be edited once they are on the calendar, giving you full control over your schedule. Continuous Scroll Calendar Instead of rigid month-by-month views, Rota Calendar uses a continuous, unbroken scrolling calendar. This makes it easy to see how shifts flow across weeks and months, including where schedules overlap month boundaries. Long-term work patterns become clear and easy to understand at a glance. Sync and Compare With Your Calendar Rota Calendar syncs with calendars already on your device, including iOS, Google, and Facebook calendars. View your work shifts alongside personal events in one place, and add or edit these events directly within Rota Calendar to avoid conflicts. Simple, Clear, and Built for Individuals Rota Calendar is designed for individuals, not companies or teams. There are no accounts to create and no unnecessary features — just a clean, easy-to-use layout designed to make shift planning simple. Trusted by thousands of shift workers, Rota Calendar is used daily by people working rotating schedules, offshore roles, oil and gas, emergency services, and other non-standard work patterns. If you need a powerful yet easy-to-use shift planner that lets you scroll through years of schedules and take control of your time, Rota Calendar is built for you.

KNOW WHAT YOU'RE OWED. Shift It is a shift work calendar built for you, not your employer. Drop in your roster, see your pay calculated against your actual pay rules, and check it against your payslip every fortnight. Built for nurses, paramedics, doctors in training, hospo/service industry, community services, fast food, fitness, and anyone else on a roster. Your data stays on your device. No employer access. No ads. — SOUND FAMILIAR? ⊗ Decoding your employer's roster spreadsheet every month ⊗ Not sure payroll applied your night or weekend penalties ⊗ Watching overtime or penalty pay quietly disappear ⊗ Typing every shift into a generic calendar app by hand Shift It fixes all of that. — WHY SHIFT WORKERS SWITCH TO SHIFT IT Most shift apps make you type in every shift. Shift It reads your roster file and does it for you. Most shift apps don't touch pay. Shift It calculates what your pay rules say you're owed (night and weekend penalties, tiered overtime, allowances, on-call recalls, minimum engagement) and compares it to your payslip. If there's a discrepancy, you'll know. And you can share the proof. Gross pay only. The number you compare against your payslip. Tax estimates sound useful until salary packaging or HECS makes them wrong by thousands. — FREE ▪ Import shifts from roster spreadsheets or your device calendar ▪ Roster Wizard generates months of rotating shifts in seconds ▪ Full calendar with 7 themes and dark mode ▪ Home screen and lock screen widgets ▪ Live Activities for shift countdowns on your lock screen ▪ Daylight tracking so you can see how your shifts align with sunrise and sunset ▪ Job Cards for quick notes and checklists during your shift ▪ Break Timer logs rest periods accurately ▪ On-call shift support with recall logging ▪ Calendar export to sync with iOS Calendar — PRO.
