Guardias
Read full descriptionHide full description
Guardias is a shift book for people who work in healthcare. You log the shift, pick where it was, and the app handles the rest: how many you have worked this month, how many hours they add up to, and how they split across your workplaces. It is built for the way medical work actually runs: several institutions at once, hours that do not fit an office grid, and the need to know at the end of the month how much you really worked. LOGGING IS FAST Pick the day, the start time and how long it runs. The values you use most sit one tap away, so a typical shift takes no typing at all. If you always start at the same hour, set that default once and forget it. THE MONTH AT A GLANCE The calendar draws your shifts across the month rather than burying them in a list. Tap a day to see which hours are taken and which are free, drawn so you can read them without counting. YOUR WORKPLACES Add the institutions where you work, with their addresses, and open directions straight from the app when you need to get there. Statistics show how much you worked at each one. HOURS THAT MAKE SENSE By month, by year, or all time: total shifts, total hours, average per shift, and the breakdown by institution. YOUR CALENDAR, IF YOU WANT IT Guardias can publish your shifts to a calendar of its own on your device, so they show up alongside the rest of your life. It can also read your other calendars to warn you when something overlaps a shift. Both are off until you turn them on. NO ACCOUNTS, NO CLOUD There is no sign-up, no password and no server. Your shifts are stored on your phone and never sent anywhere. No analytics, no ads, no tracking of any kind. Guardias is not meant for clinical data: it is for your hours, not your patients. Available in Spanish and English. It follows your phone's language, or you can choose.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Guardias at every 3 days against 01 Light's every 8 days. 01 Light's advantage is iOS requirement (13.4 vs 15.1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
