About

Shift

Read full description

Shift is the burnout tracker built for nurses, paramedics, doctors, and shift workers — the people who notice everyone else's warning signs but never their own. Most people don't see burnout coming until they crash. Your body shows the signs two to three weeks earlier — in your sleep, your heart rate variability, your activity. Shift reads those patterns from your Health data automatically and turns them into one daily burnout score. No wearable required. No 30-question check-ins. Open Shift and see where you stand. WHY SHIFT IS DIFFERENT Most wellness apps make you do the work — manual logging, long quizzes, daily journaling. That's the last thing a nurse coming off a 12-hour shift wants. Shift flips it: your iPhone already has the data. We turn it into a number you can act on. - Automatic daily burnout score from Health data (sleep, HRV, resting heart rate, activity) - Four clear zones: Thriving, Watching, Strained, Overloaded - 32 micro-actions, each under 3 minutes, matched to your current zone - Healthcare-specific resets: pre-handover breath, between-patient reset, after a critical event, leave-it-at-the-door - Patterns view: see whether shifts, sleep, or recovery days drive your burnout BUILT FOR SHIFT WORK - Pick your profession: nurse, doctor, paramedic, first responder, pilot, shift worker - Pre-shift and post-shift check-ins matched to your schedule - "Coming off nights" recognizes when you've just finished a night shift - Score patterns broken down by shift type (Pro) EVIDENCE-BASED Shift uses the BAT-12 (Burnout Assessment Tool), validated by KU Leuven and used in nursing burnout research across many countries. Heart rate variability as a burnout signal is supported by peer-reviewed studies in ICU nurses and emergency clinicians. The full methodology is disclosed in the app. APPLE WATCH + WIDGETS - Glance at your burnout score from your wrist - Quick mood logging on Apple Watch - Lock Screen and Home Screen widgets - Watch face complication 100% PRIVATE - Everything stays on your device - No accounts, no logins, no cloud - No analytics, no third-party tracking - Export your data anytime as PDF, CSV, or JSON PRO - Patterns over 90 days and 1 year - Score breakdown by shift type - Daily 3-minute guided resets - Therapist-ready PDF report - Custom notification schedules Free includes: daily burnout score, 7-day patterns, all 32 micro-actions, weekly BAT-12 assessment, Apple Watch app, mood logging, and CSV export. WHO SHIFT IS FOR - Nurses and RNs working long or rotating shifts - Paramedics, EMTs, and first responders - Doctors and residents on call - Pilots and any shift worker whose schedule wrecks their sleep - Anyone tired of wellness apps that demand more energy than they give back Built by a solo Swiss developer who got tired of stress trackers that added more stress. IMPORTANT Shift is a self-awareness tool, not a medical device. It does not diagnose, treat, or prevent any condition. For clinical concerns — including persistent burnout, depression, or suicidal thoughts — contact a healthcare professional. In an emergency, call your local emergency number. Try Shift free. No account. No commitment. Privacy Policy: https://arytec.ch/shift/privacy Terms of Use (EULA): https://arytec.ch/shift/terms Support: https://arytec.ch/shift/support

You are not overreacting. You are not too sensitive. Your nervous system just feels things more intensely than most. Felt is built for adults with Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria — the intense emotional pain triggered by perceived criticism, rejection, or failure that is common in ADHD and autism. If you have ever been blindsided by overwhelming emotional pain from a comment, a silence, or a look — and spent hours recovering — this app was built for you. NOT A DIAGNOSTIC TOOL Felt uses self-reflection tools and AI-powered pattern analysis to help you understand your RSD experience. It is not a clinical assessment and does not replace evaluation by a qualified mental health professional. WHAT IS RSD? Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria causes sudden, overwhelming emotional pain from perceived or actual rejection, criticism, teasing, or failure. It is widely recognized in the ADHD and autism clinical community and affects millions of adults who have never had a name for why they feel things so intensely. RSD SCREENER Ten reflection questions based on the clinical work of Dr. William Dodson and CHADD. One free AI interpretation helps you understand what your responses suggest about your experience. EPISODE LOGGER When an episode hits, log it quickly. Trigger type, intensity, physical symptoms, duration, and recovery notes. Building a record is the first step to understanding your patterns. IN-THE-MOMENT TOOLKIT — ALWAYS FREE When an episode is happening right now: - Immediate validation: "You are not overreacting. This is RSD." - Guided breathing and grounding exercises - Affirmation cycle: "This feeling has a name. It will pass." - Episode peak timer — most RSD episodes peak within 3 minutes - Crisis resources including 988 and Crisis Text Line — always free, never paywalled PATTERN DASHBOARD (Pro) Visual analytics across your logged episodes. Most common triggers, intensity over time, time-of-day patterns, recovery trends, weekly frequency chart. See your RSD clearly instead of just living inside it. AI WEEKLY INSIGHTS (Pro) Claude AI reviews your last 7 days and surfaces patterns in warm plain language — which environments trigger your most intense episodes, what your recovery trend looks like, and personalized coping suggestions based on your actual data. COPING STRATEGY LIBRARY (Pro) Evidence-based strategies by category: in-the-moment, prevention, communication, workplace, relationships, self-compassion. AI personalizes recommendations based on your trigger patterns. Save what works. COMMUNICATION SCRIPTS (Pro) Pre-written scripts for the hardest RSD conversations. Explaining RSD to a partner. Asking for feedback safely. Responding to criticism at work. Claude AI generates custom scripts for your specific situation. TRUSTED PERSON MODE (Pro) Share a read-only summary of your patterns with someone you trust — on your terms, only what you choose. Help the people who care about you understand without having to explain in the moment. INSIGHTS JOURNAL (Pro) Daily RSD-specific reflection prompts, free text journaling, weekly AI theme analysis, and PDF export for your therapist. YOUR DATA Stored securely via Firebase. Optional cloud sync. No ads. No data selling. Ever. Felt is built with genuine understanding of what RSD feels like from the inside. You are not broken. You are not too much. You just need better tools. Not a clinical diagnosis. For self-reflection only. If you are in crisis please contact 988 or a qualified professional.
