Your full year, always in view. Most calendar apps keep you stuck on this week. Full Year Calendar flips that: you start from the big picture, see everything at once, and decide what matters from there. SEE YOUR WHOLE YEAR AT ONCE All 12 months on one screen. You see instantly where you stand, what's coming up, and where you still have space. FOCUS ON WHAT MATTERS The Full Year Calendar view shows only your three biggest events per day, the things that actually shape your year. Birthdays, holidays, vacations, school breaks. Zoom into the week or day view when you need the details. TURN A PHOTO INTO EVENTS Snap a photo of a schedule, invitation, or class timetable and Full Year Calendar turns it into events and tasks in seconds. Just review and save. Your photo never leaves your device — only the text is analyzed. TASKS THAT WORK LIKE EVENTS Add reminders right alongside your events. Drag them to a new day, stretch them across several days, and check them off with a tap — in any view. NOTHING SNEAKS UP ON YOU When your whole year is always visible, you're always prepared. You see what's coming. You stay in control, not whoever booked your calendar last. This is the calendar for people who plan ahead: the parent, the partner, the professional who runs their life instead of reacting to it. GOOD TO KNOW Works with your existing iOS Calendar. No account, no setup. Just open and go. YOUR YEAR ON YOUR HOME SCREEN Add the widgets and see your key events at a glance without opening the app. PRIVACY FIRST Your calendar stays on your device. No ads, no tracking, no accounts. The optional photo-to-events feature sends only the text read from a photo you pick — never the photo, and never your calendar. FULL YEAR PRO Full Year Calendar comes with a 14-day free trial. Explore every feature — the full year view, widgets, photo-to-events, color themes, and more. After the trial, a subscription keeps everything unlocked.

About

ShiftRoster

Features
Read full description

A shift-rotation calendar that gets 12-hour and DuPont overtime right, because most don't. Pick a rotation pattern — including 12-hour, DuPont, or your own custom cycle — set the day it starts, and ShiftRoster projects every month forward: your shift, your rest days, and public holidays for your German state (Bundesland), computed on your device with no yearly update needed. Why this app exists: shift-roster apps compute overtime by counting shift days, so a 12-hour rotation with 16 rest days a month shows overtime that makes no sense. ShiftRoster computes your target from your actual contract hours, so working a rest day adds real overtime and a rest day never inflates your target. Vacation and sick days are credited correctly. Your running hours balance (Stundenkonto) carries over month to month and is always something you can check against your own contract. FEATURES • Rotation patterns — 8-hour, 12-hour and DuPont templates, plus a custom cycle editor for any pattern not on the list • Month calendar — your shifts, rest days and public holidays at a glance • Hours & overtime — target vs. worked, computed correctly for 12-hour rotations, with vacation, sick and training days credited • Public holidays for all 16 German states (Bundesländer), calculated on your device with a local Easter-based algorithm — no network fetch, no yearly content update • A home-screen and Lock Screen widget showing today's and tomorrow's shift, built to keep working after iOS updates Unlock "Full roster" once, for EUR 5.99 / USD 5.99, to add: • Pay estimate — enter your hourly rate and night/Sunday/holiday supplement percentages for an estimated gross per period (not a payslip, not tax advice) • Calendar export — send your shifts to the iOS Calendar • CSV month sheet — a shareable hours-and-pay spreadsheet for payroll disputes • iCloud sync — your roster on every device you own Everything else — the full rotation calendar for any month, hours and overtime, one Bundesland's holidays, and the widget — is free, no trial, no time limit. This is a one-time purchase. No subscription, no ads. No account. No tracking. Your data stays on your device. ShiftRoster gives no legal, tax or payroll advice — the pay estimate is arithmetic on the rate and percentages you enter, so you can sanity-check your own payslip.
