Read full descriptionHide full description
Set your rotation once and see the whole year ahead. SIMPLE Pick your pattern — 4 on 4 off, 2-2-3, DuPont, twelve-hour days and nights, rotating three shifts — then tap the day of the cycle you are on today. Done. No sign-up, no account. YOUR OWN ROTATION Nothing on the list fits? Build a cycle of any length yourself. Hospital rotas, irregular rotations, on-call. WHAT YOU GET • When your next shift starts, and how long until it does • A whole month on one screen • Your shifts in the iPhone Calendar, kept up to date • A reminder before every shift, even offline • Hours worked and estimated pay • A home screen widget • Backup and restore, to move to a new phone • In 31 languages Without a purchase you see this month's calendar and your next shift. Other months, editing days, your own rotation, Calendar sync, reminders, hours and pay, the widget and backups come with Shift Cycle Pro, an in-app purchase. CHANGES Swapped a shift? Tap the day and change it. Add a note. Your rotation stays intact around it, and your Calendar and reminders follow. WHAT WE PROMISE A lifetime purchase stays a lifetime purchase. We will not move it to a subscription later, and we will never put ads in this app. We never see your shifts. No server, no account, no tracking — your rotation stays on your phone.
