Made for DOCTORS, NURSES, FIRE/EMS, PILOTS/AVIATION, HOSPITALITY, GROCERY, LOGISTICS and anyone who works shifts - and HATES missing birthdays, concerts, or a night's sleep because of that one shift that was so hard to find a swap for. ShiftHawk helps you FIND swaps amongst your OWN COLLEGUES - so you make it to life's most important events (or sleep!). Applications to connect: AMiON, QGenda, ShiftAdmin, MedHub, symplr (ShiftWizard), NurseGrid, MedRez, TigerConnect Physician Scheduling, 7shifts, Deputy, When I Work, Sling, HotSchedules (Fourth), Homebase, Connecteam, UKG Pro WFM, Shiftboard (ScheduleFlex), Unifocus, Aladtec, UKG TeleStaff, CAE crew management, AIMS eCrew, Google Calendar, Apple iCloud Calendar, Outlook / Exchange ShiftHawk is the shift-swap finder using YOUR OWN scheduling provider (as mentioned above). Tell it the shift you want to give up, and it searches your team for a trade that works for everyone — including the multi-way chains a person scanning a calendar would never spot (A covers B, B covers C, C covers you). WHY SHIFTHAWK • Find swaps others miss — our swap engine surfaces multi-way trade chains, not just simple 1-to-1 swaps. • Rules-aware — trades respect rest and duty-hour limits, so a swap that looks good is actually allowed. • Snap your schedule in — photograph a paper or printed roster and ShiftHawk reads it for you. No manual entry. • Import from your calendar — connect a calendar link (.ics) and your shifts appear automatically. • Trade with people you trust — build a private team or pool and swap only with colleagues you choose. • Look ahead with ForeSIGHT (optional add-on) — get a heads-up before a swap collides with something on your personal calendar. • Your schedule stays yours — nothing is shared without your say-so. NEW — GROUP ADMIN MODE Running the schedule for your whole group? Admin mode lets a coordinator view and manage the team's schedules, post open shifts for people to claim, and poll for coverage — all in one place. ($49.99 / 6 months, with a generous 6-month token allowance included.) SIMPLE, FAIR PRICING Start free with a set of starter tokens. A token is only spent when a swap is actually found — a search that turns up nothing costs you nothing. Subscriptions start at $1.99, with 6-month and best-value annual plans for regular swappers. Questions or feedback? We read every note. Built by physicians, for the people who keep the lights on. Terms: https://shifthawk.ai/terms • Privacy: https://shifthawk.ai/privacy
