Fill a whole month of shifts in one go, and know when to sleep around your nights. Type your rotation once (for example D D E E N N OFF OFF), pick a start date, and Shift Note fills the calendar for as many months as you need. Today and tomorrow sit at the top in large type, and the Sleep tab shows a plan for the week ahead. Made for nurses, factory and plant crews, firefighters, police, paramedics, call center teams and anyone on a rotating schedule. WHAT IT DOES • Pattern fill: start date + repeating pattern fills months at once • Tap any day to change the shift, saved instantly • Monthly summary: count of each shift type and total hours • Sleep plan: suggested bedtime, nap window and last-caffeine time around night shifts and quick turnarounds • Custom shift types: your own names, short codes, colors and start/end times • Home Screen widgets: small shows today and tomorrow; medium adds the next 7 days and today's sleep line • Lock Screen widgets: inline, rectangular and circular • iCloud backup: your schedule restores on any device signed in with the same Apple ID • Dark mode first, large readable type • Available in 17 languages PRIVACY AND NO FUSS • No sign-up, no login • Your schedule stays on your device and in your own iCloud backup; there is no account and no server of ours • No ad pops up when you open the app. A small banner keeps it free. The sleep plan is general guidance for shift workers, not medical advice. If you have a sleep disorder or health concern, talk to a doctor.
