ShiftBeam helps shift workers plan changing schedules, track working hours and estimate earningsβwithout creating an account. PLAN YOUR ROTA β’ A monthly calendar with color-coded shifts and short labels β’ Editable 1β28-day rotations, including 2 day / 2 night / 2 off, 4 on / 4 off and 24/48 presets β’ Multi-date quick fill, conflict preview and undo for a newly added batch β’ Days off, leave, sick days and completed-shift tracking β’ Start/end times, unpaid breaks, hourly rates and optional earnings multipliers KEEP YOUR NEXT SHIFT IN VIEW See your ongoing or next shift in the app and in a small or medium iPhone home-screen widget. Optional local reminders can alert you before a shift. iOS controls widget refresh and notification delivery; ShiftBeam is not an alarm-clock service. SHARE AND BACK UP Share a calendar image or an ICS calendar file using the iOS share sheet. Calendar sharing excludes private notes, earnings and workplace details; custom short labels may appear in images. ICS export is one-way, not automatic calendar synchronization. Export a JSON backup of shifts, saved rotations, templates and settings. Preview and confirm a JSON backup merge with existing records. Save a backup to Files or iCloud Drive yourself, and verify it before deleting the app or changing phones. Exported files are not encrypted; keep them safe. JSON imports are limited to 10 MB. CSV export is a spreadsheet report, not a restorable backup. FREE AND OPTIONAL PREMIUM Core shift tracking and one saved rotation are free. The free plan may show Google ads after required privacy choices. Optional monthly or annual auto-renewable Premium adds ad-free use, multiple saved rotations, shift templates, weekly repeats, workplace filtering and advanced date-range statistics. App Store prices and billing periods appear before purchase. Restore Purchases and Manage Subscription are available in the Premium screen. YOUR RECORDS STAY ON YOUR DEVICE Shift, pay and note records are stored locally. There is no automatic cloud sync or upload to a ShiftBeam server. The widget receives only a local date/type/time summary and display language. File sharing and backups go only to the destination you choose. Turkish and English interfaces; multiple currencies. Earnings are estimates, not official payroll, tax or employer records. Overtime values are entered by you, not calculated from employment law. Time-off entries contribute zero hours/pay. Overnight shifts are assigned to their start date. Reports may include future planned shifts. Currency selection does not perform exchange-rate conversion.
