Turnativo turns your shift schedule into events in your Apple Calendar and keeps them synced automatically via iCloud. And if you run a team, you paint everyone's schedule and each person gets it in their own calendar. - YOUR SHIFTS, IN YOUR CALENDAR - Your shifts aren't locked inside an app: they're events in your Calendar. They show up on your iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch, alerts included. If you ever delete Turnativo, your shifts are still there. - HOW IT WORKS - • Create your shifts (morning, afternoon, night, on-call…) with their colour and icon. • Rotations that repeat themselves: set your cycle once and Turnativo fills the month. • Paint mode: pick a shift and swipe across days to fill them in seconds. • One-off change? Tap a day to adjust it, mark it off or add a note. • It warns you when two shifts overlap. • Month and year summary: hours, shifts, nights and Sundays, added up for you. • Home Screen and Lock Screen widget: your next shift at a glance. • Your shift on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, counting down until you start or finish. - ALL FREE FOR YOU - Personal mode is free and complete: unlimited shifts, multiple rotations, Calendar sync, paint mode, notes, alerts and summaries. No account, no ads. - NEW: TEAM MODE - For whoever plans the shifts of a café, a shop, a care home or a service: • Paint each worker's month in seconds, on iPhone, iPad or at turnativo.app. • Publish and everyone gets it in their app and their Calendar, with changes right away. • Contract hours, night hours, holidays, Sundays and leave, all counted for you. • A heads-up when someone has little rest between shifts. • People needed at each hour, and how many are working in each. • iPhone notifications: each worker when their schedule changes, and the manager the evening before if tomorrow is short of people. • Always free for workers. Every new team can use team mode for free for 14 days, with no subscription and no payment details. After that, to keep editing, you choose a subscription. - MADE FOR YOU - Nurses, police, firefighters, security, healthcare, factory, hospitality, retail, transport… anyone who works shifts or plans them. - REAL PRIVACY - In personal mode, your shifts live in your Calendar and your iCloud, not on our servers. Team mode asks for the minimum: a name and, if you like, an email. No third-party analytics, no tracking.
