AfterShift vs SleepShift

Your day starts when your shift ends. AfterShift tracks sleep and recovery by your roster, from the end of one shift to the start of the next. Sleep apps that reset at midnight grade you against a day you don't work. AfterShift starts counting when your last shift ends and stops when your next one begins. Readiness, sleep debt, and your recovery timeline all live inside that window, so a run of nights or a quick turnaround is judged on its own terms. Your roster, filled in Set your rotation once and AfterShift fills in the next 8 weeks, then keeps them filled, so you stop typing shifts in one by one. Name every shift your roster has, and give your rest days names too. For 12-hour rosters, you set your shift types' hours once. If your shifts already live in a calendar, calendar import reads event titles and start times and suggests Day, Evening, Night, or On-call. It recognizes shift words in 13 languages. Every nap counts Last night's sleep imports itself from Apple Health, even in the background, once your sleep is saved to Health. The nap before a night shift counts toward readiness, sleep debt, and your Shift Recovery Score at full value. Start an anchor nap and it counts down in the Dynamic Island, then logs itself when it ends. A long-press fixes sleep you logged yourself. Change its start and end, or delete it so it stops counting. Sleep from Apple Health stays as Health recorded it. Timed to the shift ahead Wind-down, caffeine cut-off, and nap reminders are set from your next shift start, so a 7 p.m. start gets its own cut-off. All of them are free. Widgets count down to the shift ahead on your Home Screen and Lock Screen. Ready for on-call weeks Work three or more on-call shifts in a week and AfterShift treats it as an on-call week, with recovery expectations to match. Before an on-call shift you get a flexible rest window. Scores stay honest about it. The Shift Recovery Score caps at 75 when you're on call and at 79 when the gap between shifts is short, and the Sleep Score caps at 84 on call.

Whether you work nights, evenings, or rotating shifts — SleepShift calculates your optimal sleep window based on YOUR actual schedule. HOW IT WORKS: 1. Enter your shift pattern (day, evening, night, or custom hours) 2. Set your rotation (e.g., 4 days on, 4 days off) 3. Get personalized sleep recommendations every day WHAT YOU GET: - Optimal sleep windows calculated for each shift - Home screen and lock screen widgets — your next wind-down, bedtime and wake time at a glance - A Live Activity that follows your window on the lock screen and Dynamic Island - Light exposure guide — when to seek or avoid bright light - Wind-down and bedtime reminders, scheduled days ahead - Caffeine cutoff and melatonin timing - Pre-shift nap recommendations for night workers - Sleep imported automatically from Apple Health — rate a night with one tap - Trends across your shifts, with plain-language insights - Edit any single day: swap a shift, take one off, pick up an extra BUILT FOR: - Nurses and healthcare workers - Factory and warehouse workers - Pilots and flight attendants - Police and emergency responders - Truck drivers - Anyone working non-traditional hours THE SCIENCE: SleepShift uses circadian rhythm research to calculate when your body is best prepared for sleep based on your shift end time.

And because no real roster is a perfect rotation, you can change any single day without touching your pattern.
