FireDocket vs ShiftCal® for Seattle Fire

FireDocket is a simple to use calendar for displaying firefighter shift schedules - or any schedules where teams work according to a fixed shift sequence that is shorter than the month and stays the same throughout the year. It supports up to four shifts or platoons at a time and any shift schedule. It comes preset to a 21 day shift sequence and is easily configured to any other schedule in minutes. All you need is the current month's schedule that the fire station or your supervisor provided and the length (in days) of the shift sequence. (The preset sequence is ABCACACBCABABACABCBCB, is 21 days long, and starts repeating at day 22.) You will find that you can also print a full-year color calendar to any wireless printer in the area. It's useful for sharing your schedule with spouses, kids, friends, etc – but they could also have their own FireDocket apps since the app is distributed for free. Unlike most of the other fire calendar applications offered in the App Stores, this one is free (with ads). FireDocket does not provide facilities for trading days or marking paydays or noting holidays – but what it does do, it does very simply, very fast and very well ! The months of your work year are only a swipe away. Give it a try, what do you have to lose !

ShiftCal for Seattle Fire Department is a shift calendar with full support for debit days, which are displayed in an alternate color. ShiftCal also optionally displays paydays. Note: ShiftCal is a shift calendar; it is not an event/appointment calendar.
