The worst part of shift work isn't the shift β€” it's every single night before: what shift is tomorrow, what time do I need to wake up, did I set the alarm? ShifRoll ends that loop. Enter your schedule once, and every shift's alarm arranges itself automatically. Your schedule IS the alarm. And not just shifts β€” classes, exams, events: anything you need to show up for on time. REAL SYSTEM ALARMS ShifRoll uses the iPhone's true system alarm β€” not a notification. It rings on silent and Do Not Disturb, with a built-in backup tone behind it. ROUTINES β€” COMBINE YOUR SHIFTS ONCE Combine your existing shifts and rest days into a repeating routine β€” any pattern, any length β€” and ShifRoll fills your whole calendar with the cycle. When the roster changes, edit the routine once: every day it scheduled β€” and every alarm β€” updates with it. Rest days stay silent automatically. CHAINED REMINDERS & BACKUP ALARMS Stack multiple alarms and reminders on any event β€” a shift, an exam, a big day β€” "30 min before, 5 min before, at start," each with its own sound. Heavy sleeper? Add a follow-up alarm after the first ring, so dismissing and drifting back to sleep isn't the end of the story. A DIFFERENT SOUND FOR EVERY SHIFT Set a gentle tone for day shifts and a louder one for 3am call-outs. Sounds inherit from category down to every event, and you can override at any level. SEE IT AT A GLANCE - Home-screen and lock-screen widgets show your next event without opening the app. - Daily Digest: one morning notification summing up your whole day β€” or a night-before preview of tomorrow. SHARE EVENTS, SEE YOUR TEAM - Connect with friends by QR code or link β€” one tap, no codes to type. Rotate your code anytime to cut off old links. - Teams: one shared space for your ward, store, or crew. Share one link and everyone who joins sees each other's schedules, side by side in a team table. You approve every member. Joining a Team is always free; creating one requires Premium. - Share any event as a link or QR β€” anyone can add it to their own calendar and gets notified if it changes. YOUR SCHEDULE, NEVER LOST - Your full schedule β€” past and future β€” backs up and restores when you switch phones. Free, automatic. - A recycle bin holds deleted events for 30 days. - Privacy option: keep your past schedule on this device only. PREMIUM (OPTIONAL) Core functions are free, forever. Premium adds the extras β€” multi-device sync, creating Teams, more reminders per event β€” and supports a solo developer building for shift workers. Built for nurses, healthcare staff, hospitality, flight crews, and anyone whose week never looks the same twice.
