ShiftBuddy vs Shift & Pay Tracker

ShiftBuddy helps you log shifts, track work hours and see estimated pay without keeping a spreadsheet on the side. Record start and end times, breaks, notes and overnight shifts. Manage multiple jobs, currencies, pay rates, raises, overtime and double-time rules, plus presets for recurring shifts. See this week at a glance, browse calendar views, search your full history and compare job stats from the My Jobs dashboard. Set weekly, biweekly, semi-monthly or monthly pay schedules, follow pay-period goals and keep the payday widget close by. Export professional timesheets as PDF or CSV, share them when needed, or back up and import all app data as JSON. Your data is local-first, with optional iCloud sync across devices. No separate ShiftBuddy account is required, and Face ID or Touch ID can add an extra layer of privacy. Built for real shift work: • Log a shift in seconds, then edit, duplicate, copy, share, or save it as a preset. • Track paid and unpaid breaks, notes, overnight shifts, and manual overtime adjustments when your day does not fit a simple formula. • Manage active and previous jobs with colors, currencies, role details, workplace info, pay history, and job-specific settings. • Add pay raises by effective date and named rates for special roles, departments, weekend work, holiday shifts, or different responsibilities. • Let ShiftBuddy estimate regular, overtime, and double-time earnings from your rules, while keeping hours and pay totals easy to scan. Plan around payday: • Set weekly, biweekly, semi-monthly, or monthly pay cycles for each job. • See accrued earnings for the current pay period, progress toward a pay-period goal, and a countdown to your next payday. • Use payday reminders and the payday widget to keep upcoming deposits visible without opening the app. Review, search, and report: • Browse day, week, and month calendar views, plus a full history of past weeks and months. • Search saved shifts by date, weekday, job, note, rate name, or amount earned. • Compare jobs with stats such as total hours, earned pay, average shift, longest shift, days worked, effective rate, overtime hours, and recent shifts. • Export a date range or a single job as a clean PDF or CSV timesheet for managers, payroll, invoices, reimbursement, or your own records. • Back up and import your jobs, rates, shifts, breaks, notes, and reminders as JSON whenever you want a portable copy. Your data stays practical and private. ShiftBuddy is local-first, supports optional iCloud sync across your devices, does not require a separate ShiftBuddy account, and can be protected with Face ID or Touch ID. It is designed for iPhone and iPad, whether you work retail, hospitality, healthcare, delivery, security, freelance jobs, student shifts, seasonal work, or any schedule that changes week to week.

Know exactly what you're owed. Shift & Pay Tracker turns the hours you actually work into the number your paycheck should say. Clock in, take your break, clock out — and let the app handle the overtime math, the tips, the mileage and the pay periods. Built for hourly workers tired of guessing: nurses, servers and bartenders, drivers, retail and warehouse crews, tradespeople, and anyone juggling more than one job. IMPORTANT — THIS IS A PAID APP Shift & Pay Tracker has no free version and no free tier. Every feature is unlocked by an in-app purchase: Pro Yearly (which begins with a 3-day free trial), Pro Monthly, or a one-time Lifetime Access purchase. Prices are shown inside the app before you buy anything. A TIME CLOCK THAT DOES THE MATH • One-tap clock in and clock out • Paid and unpaid breaks, tracked to the minute • Live earnings that climb while you work • A Live Activity on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island • Add a past shift by hand any time you forget to clock in AUTOMATIC OVERTIME — THE PART PEOPLE GET SHORT-CHANGED ON • Weekly overtime: time and a half after 40 hours (the federal FLSA rule) • Daily overtime: time and a half after 8 hours in a day • Double time: 2x after 12 hours in a day • The 7th-consecutive-day rule • Or set your own thresholds and multipliers Your rules are applied to every shift automatically, so you see overtime the moment you earn it — not after payday. MULTIPLE JOBS, EACH WITH ITS OWN RULES Track unlimited jobs. Each keeps its own hourly wage, overtime rules, pay period, mileage rate and color, so a hospital shift and a restaurant shift never get mixed up. TIPS AND MILEAGE Log cash tips and miles driven on any shift. Mileage is reimbursed at your own per-mile rate, so you see what you really take home — not just your hourly wage. PAY PERIODS THAT MATCH YOUR REAL PAYCHECK Weekly, every two weeks, twice a month or monthly. Tell the app one date a pay period started and it works out every period from there. Open Earnings and see the exact gross pay you should be handed on payday. CSV EXPORT — PROOF OF EVERY HOUR Export a full timesheet to a spreadsheet in one tap: every shift split into regular, overtime and double-time hours, with tips, mileage and the gross total. Keep it, or send it to your employer if payroll gets it wrong. OPTIONAL ARRIVAL REMINDERS Save a workplace and the app can remind you to clock in when you arrive and clock out when you leave. Optional, off by default, and your location never leaves your device. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No sign-up. No server. No analytics. No ads. Every shift, wage and note stays on your iPhone or iPad, and the whole app works offline. iPhone and iPad. Full Dark Mode. All amounts in US dollars (USD).
