Rescue Shift vs ResponderOS

RescueShift is shift scheduling software built for fire departments, EMS agencies, and 24/7 public-safety crews. Retire the station whiteboard, the group text, and the spreadsheet. Your whole crew (and your family) works off one live schedule. WHAT YOU CAN DO • See who's on duty today, by station and apparatus • Run traditional rotations: 24/48, 48/96, 24/72, 3x12, 4x10, Kelly days, or a custom pattern • Post open shifts to a sign-up board and let members claim them from their phone • Catch coverage gaps before a unit drops below minimum staffing • Approve trades, PTO, and shift drops in one inbox with a staffing-impact check • Track FLSA 7(k) overtime across 7–28 day work periods • Put a live, read-only coverage board on any station TV, no login needed • Track certifications and continuing education so nothing expires unnoticed • Share your personal schedule with up to 10 family members BUILT FOR FIRST RESPONDERS Firefighters, EMTs, paramedics, engineers, and 911 dispatchers. It also fits contract ambulance services, hospital emergency departments, and any team that runs around-the-clock coverage. PRICING Free for individuals (ad-supported). Premium ($2.99/mo) removes ads and adds family sharing. Department plans add the admin dashboard, roster, trades, whiteboard, and analytics.

ResponderOS is one platform for fire departments and EMS agencies: scheduling, timekeeping, logistics, training, policy and personnel at the desk; incident command, patient care and job aids on scene. One login and one record for every member. AT THE DESK • Scheduling: platoon cycles, assignments, leave, trades, open shifts, overtime, callbacks and volunteer duty blocks. The Daily Lineup finds a member on the day's board by name, or shows only its vacancies. • Timekeeping: time entries built from the schedule, pay periods and payroll export. • Logistics: QR inventory counts, par levels, expirations, supply requests and gear issue with signatures. A count can start with no signal. • Training: drills, sign-offs, skill checkoffs, simulations and assignments. • Policy: SOGs and general orders with acknowledgments and version history. Members read and acknowledge on the phone, with an offline pack for reading. • People: evaluations, counseling, commendations, probation, coaching and mentorship, with coaching notes beside the evaluations they inform. • Stations and fleet: readiness checks, apparatus inspections and maintenance. • Prevention and community: occupancy inspections, pre-plans, family reunification, community paramedicine and File of Life with QR lookup on scene. • Health and safety: an injury log, an exposure registry and private wellness check-ins. Leaders see only group averages and counts. ON SCENE • Incident command: an ICS structure board, unit tracking, PAR accountability, a MAYDAY workflow that builds the RIT structure, triage and transport, rehab, a live map and push-to-talk. • Patient care: cardiac arrest, trauma and critical patient worksheets that log response times and personnel, plus airway and RSI, pediatrics, OB, drips, ventilator management and medications. The CPR metronome keeps time with the screen locked. • Job aids: pump operations, fire flow, water supply, ERG lookup, confined space, trench, extrication, collapse, rope rescue rigging, LZ setup and ICS forms. • Special operations: UAS coordination with live video, water rescue and dive tracking, and tactical EMS op plans. Clinical tools are reference aids for trained providers, not a substitute for your protocols or medical direction. INTELLIGENCE Connect your CAD data feed for a live unit-status board, coverage gaps, a demand forecast and reports. Deployment Planning ranks where the next unit or station cuts the most response time. FOR DEPARTMENTS Your administrator sets up access, roles and stations, and turns modules on or off. iPad gets dedicated layouts, including incident command role desks. Desk work also runs in a web browser; live maps and push-to-talk need iPhone or iPad. FOR INDIVIDUAL RESPONDERS No department? Create a solo account. Pump Operations, Rope Rescue Rigging, ICS Forms, Cardiac Arrest Management and the Overdose/Medication Finder are free. The Individual Plan, a monthly auto-renewing subscription, adds the other SceneKit and MedKit tools open to individuals, CommandKit Lite, PersonnelKit, LeadershipKit, TaskKit, and CareerKit with attachments. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews unless canceled at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel it in your Apple Account settings. YOUR DATA We don't sell your data, track you across apps or use your records for ads or AI training. Your department owns its records. No one in your organization can read your Private Notebook or wellness check-ins, and your notebook and career locker stay with you if you leave. Records are stored in the United States and encrypted in transit and at rest. Optional AI features run only on request.
