Tembri is a shift calendar for people who work rotating shifts. You do not need to sign in first. Day shifts, night shifts, days off, and one-off items stay on this phone. The week view is for the next few days. The month view is for the rhythm of the whole month. Open a day, pick a usual shift, and it goes straight onto the calendar. Statistics tells you how many times you worked each shift this month, then adds days worked, days off, and estimated hours. The figures come from the roster on this phone, so you can look back and check them without a wall of numbers. When you have a paper or photo roster, you can photograph it and import it. Tembri asks you to confirm your name, then shows the recognized result day by day. Confirm the name, check each day, and only then decide whether to import, so someone else's shifts do not land on your calendar. You can set local reminders for the shifts you planned. If your unit has already configured and published a schedule outside the app, sign in to view that unit schedule, in-app messages, and tasks, and sync a task into your personal schedule. Main features: - Week and month scheduling on this phone - Quick Add for usual shifts - Shift counts, days worked, days off, and estimated hours - Scan a roster, confirm your name, and review each day before import - Local reminders and Excel workload export - After sign-in, view unit-published schedules, in-app messages, and tasks

Make room for life around your shifts. CrossShift brings schedules, alarms and work records together for shift workers and irregular routines. SCHEDULES & ALARMS Create early, day, evening or night shift templates with work times and alarms. Use repeating rosters, adjust individual dates, assign multiple shifts per day, edit in bulk and apply regional holiday and makeup workday rules. Name each shift alarm separately. STATISTICS & WORK RECORDS View completed shift counts and distribution for free by month, year or custom dates. Set monthly or annual closing dates, or use fixed-day periods. Pro adds planned and counted hours, differences, overtime, notes and pay multipliers, leave types, annual allowances and time off in lieu. Enter overtime duration or calculate it from planned and actual clock-out times, minus breaks. PAY ESTIMATES Set pay rules in Settings → Pay Management. Estimate pay by pay period, record amounts received and compare differences. Requires Pro; estimates are for personal reference and do not replace employer payroll records. FREE SCHEDULE IMPORT Import from system calendars, ICS files or schedule images for free. On-device image recognition has no usage limit. Review shifts in groups, match or create templates, and edit dates, shifts and times day by day before confirming import. Pro offers optional cloud recognition for unclear text and complex rosters. With consent each time, images are sent to CrossShift servers and the recognition service. Visible names, employee IDs and shift details are also processed. Review and confirm the results. PRO EXPORTS Export PDF, CSV or long-image reports to save, share and check records. Exports require Pro and use the same date range as the statistics page. SHARING & LIFE Create or join a group to view each other's schedules; each person manages their own. Add member notes stored only on your device. Track birthdays, anniversaries, exams and other dates with optional reminders. Home Screen widgets show alarms, calendars, shared schedules, hours and anniversaries; some content requires Pro. Pro also lets you create photo themes, adjust wallpaper position and colors, and save and switch designs. Wallpapers stay on your device. MAKE IT YOURS Avatars, alarm sounds, time formats, Dark Mode, Dynamic Type, VoiceOver and 18 interface languages. Personal schedules and alarms need no account; sharing requires a CrossShift account. Sign in with Apple during setup and choose whether to sync account data. When signed in with personal sync enabled, templates, schedules, leave allowances and overtime records sync. Personal alarms, pay rules and settlements, anniversaries, wallpapers and member notes are excluded from account sync. Weather location access is optional and does not affect schedules or alarms. Send issues and suggestions through Settings. BACKUP & RESTORE Free automatic iCloud Drive backups: enable the feature and select a folder to save backups, browse history and restore. Manual local JSON backup and restore remain available. EARN UP TO 3 MONTHS OF PRO Complete your first work schedule to earn 1 month. Each successful friend referral earns another month, up to 2 referral months and 3 months total. Friends must complete a work schedule, enter your code in Settings and confirm the referral. Sign in to claim; eligibility and redemption terms are in the app. Redeeming an Apple offer code starts an auto-renewing monthly Pro subscription. After the free period, the local App Store price applies. Cancel in Apple subscription settings. Annual subscribers can keep referral extensions to use after their subscription expires; Apple annual renewal terms remain unchanged. See the in-app Pro center for prices and benefits.
