Read full description

SARASTE is a calm personal shift calendar for healthcare, emergency, industrial, and other rotating work. Open it and see whether you are working today, when the current shift ends, and when the next one starts. KEY FEATURES • TODAY AT A GLANCE Active shift status, remaining time, next shift, and a quiet 7-day outlook. • 24-HOUR AND OVERNIGHT SHIFTS 24h duties (for example 08:00 to 08:00) and night shifts that cross midnight stay active after 00:00. Cross-day shifts continue visually on the calendar. • ROTATION ENGINE Repeating cycles such as 2 Day, 2 Night, 4 Off — or your own pattern. The calendar fills forward automatically. • ONE-DAY CHANGES WITHOUT BREAKING THE CYCLE Override a single day, then restore the pattern shift, or delete only that occurrence. Your rotation stays intact. • WORK TIME SUMMARY Hours, shift counts, and averages for this week, this month, or a custom period. • SHARE WITH FAMILY, ON DEVICE Export a .saraste schedule file and import it on another phone. See when you are free together. No family account and no cloud calendar connection. • OPTIONAL LOCAL REMINDERS Off by default. When you turn them on, SARASTE asks for notification permission and schedules reminders on this device only. There is no push server. • PRIVATE AND OFFLINE Schedules live in local SQLite. No ads, no analytics SDK, no Taipale account. Airplane mode works. • OPTIONAL CALENDAR FILE Export a standard .ics file and import it in the calendar app you choose. SARASTE does not connect to Apple Calendar or Google Calendar. • 11 LANGUAGES English, Finnish, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, and Dutch. 14-day free trial with full scheduling. After that the app stays readable. Unlock once with a lifetime purchase — no subscription. Built by Taipale IT.
