Derrick is the rotation calendar built for oilfield hands, and it actually keeps your hitch straight. Pick your rotation once (14/14, 14/7, 7/7, 21/21, 28/28, a custom on/off, or a pattern you build yourself), set the day your hitch starts, and Derrick paints your ON and OFF days correctly, for years. No drift. No "off by a day." No blank calendar when the new year rolls over. That sounds basic. It's the thing every other oilfield calendar gets wrong. NEW: build your own rotation. Line up days, nights and days off in any order, from a day and night swing to 4 on 4 off, 2-2-3 or DuPont, and see the first four weeks before you save. Building a pattern is free. CREW PASS: send your rotation to your crew or your spouse as a code and a QR. They scan or paste it and import your whole schedule in one tap, with no re-typing dates and no getting a day wrong. Free, works offline, no account. FREE • Big, glanceable countdown: HOME IN __ DAYS / BACK IN __ DAYS • Today at a glance: "On hitch · Day 9 of 14" • Full month calendar with your ON/OFF days in color; scroll years ahead or back • Agenda of your upcoming hitches and time off, with exact dates • Crew Pass: share your rotation as a code/QR; your crew imports it in one tap • Home Screen & Lock Screen widgets • Crew-change reminders the evening before • Ticket wallet: keep one ticket (H2S, BOSIET, TWIC, a medical) with expiry reminders • Day & night shifts • Works offline on the rig or at sea. No account, no sign-up. DERRICK PRO: one-time unlock (no subscription) • Whole year on one page: export a clean, printable PDF (one year per page, not 12 separate months) • Plan your life around your hitch: add birthdays, weddings, hunting season, the kids' games, and see instantly whether you'll be home or working • Estimate your pay: day rate or hourly + overtime, per-diem, in your currency (USD, CAD, GBP, AUD, NOK, EUR & more) • Hitch Log: a record of every hitch (dates, rig, overtime, per-diem) with a year summary; export it as a spreadsheet or PDF • Unlimited tickets in your wallet, each checked against your hitch • Pro widgets: a full-month rotation grid, and your next crew change beside this hitch's estimated pay • Export to Calendar: your next 12 months as all-day events in a calendar file to share, or to import into Google Calendar, Outlook or a partner's phone Buy Pro once and keep it. No subscriptions. No ads. Crew change shouldn't be this hard to track. Now it isn't.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Timecare at none against Derrick's shown. Timecare also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Derrick's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (27 vs 9). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
