How many hours until your shift ends? How much have you made today? DoneAt answers both. Set your start and end times, and the countdown takes out your lunch break, so you see how much work is really left. The basic shift countdown is always free. On your wrist, too The Apple Watch app is free. Add a complication to your watch face and just raise your wrist to see how long until you're done. However you work • 9 to 5, alternating weeks, rotating shifts, night shifts past midnight: you can schedule them all. • Set your own lunch break. When lunch starts, the countdown pauses, and that time doesn't count toward your hours. • Came in early, leaving early, working overtime, or want to time a day you weren't scheduled? Just change that day, not your whole schedule. • Free roster: if your shifts are all over the place, plan each day yourself. The brush makes it quick: pick a shift, then tap or swipe across the calendar. Different summer and winter hours? Shifts can switch times by date automatically. • Want to see your pay? Turn on Money Earned Today, plus weekly and yearly earnings totals. Rather not? Leave it off. • Get reminders to start, stop, take lunch, or get up and move. • Plan time off: enter how much PTO and comp time you have left. DoneAt checks holidays and your shifts, finds the time off that works, and adds the one you pick in one tap.
