Night Shift Mode is a smart health tracking app designed for both night shift and regular daytime workers. It allows users to set their real working hours so steps, calories, sleep, and activity are tracked accurately based on their personal schedule instead of a fixed day-night cycle. Users can create a profile, define their work hours, and view daily, weekly, and monthly health reports. The app syncs with HealthKit to collect health data and provides reminders for activities like standing, exercise, and hydration with push notifications. Users can manage their profile, read FAQs, send feedback, share the app, and control their account through the settings, including the option to delete their account. This app helps users stay healthy, organized, and in control of their wellbeing regardless of their work schedule.
