Shiftpad is the rotating shift planner for nurses, factory workers, retail staff, and anyone working irregular shift patterns. Set up your rotation once and your calendar fills in automatically — no manual entry day by day. UNLIMITED SHIFT TYPES Create Early, Late, Night, or any custom shift — each with its own color, start/end time, break duration, and hourly pay rate. Unlike competitors, there is no cap on the number of shift types in the free tier. ROTATION PATTERNS Choose from Panama (2-2-3), 3-on-4-off, Continental (Konti), or build a fully custom rotation. Set an anchor date and the app projects your schedule months ahead. Override any day with a single tap. OVERNIGHT SHIFTS — HANDLED CORRECTLY Night shifts crossing midnight are shown with the correct duration, pay calculation, and reminder timing. PAY & HOURS SUMMARY View your total hours and estimated earnings per week or month, broken down by shift type. Overtime is flagged when you exceed your configured weekly threshold. SHIFT REMINDERS Local notifications fire before each upcoming shift — choose your lead time: 30 min, 1 h, 2 h, or 12 h before start. GERMAN-FIRST Full German localization. The app name changes to "Schichtplaner" on German-language devices. Pre-loaded German shift names: Frühschicht, Spätschicht, Nachtschicht. FREE WITH ADS — PRO REMOVES THEM Shiftpad is free and ad-supported. Every scheduling feature stays free. The optional Pro upgrade (subscription or one-time lifetime purchase) simply removes ads and supports development.
