Set your rotation once and see the whole year ahead. SIMPLE Pick your pattern — 4 on 4 off, 2-2-3, DuPont, twelve-hour days and nights, rotating three shifts — then tap the day of the cycle you are on today. Done. No sign-up, no account. YOUR OWN ROTATION Nothing on the list fits? Build a cycle of any length yourself. Hospital rotas, irregular rotations, on-call. WHAT YOU GET • When your next shift starts, and how long until it does • A whole month on one screen • Your shifts in the iPhone Calendar, kept up to date • A reminder before every shift, even offline • Hours worked and estimated pay • A home screen widget • Backup and restore, to move to a new phone • In 31 languages Without a purchase you see this month's calendar and your next shift. Other months, editing days, your own rotation, Calendar sync, reminders, hours and pay, the widget and backups come with Shift Cycle Pro, an in-app purchase. CHANGES Swapped a shift? Tap the day and change it. Add a note. Your rotation stays intact around it, and your Calendar and reminders follow. WHAT WE PROMISE A lifetime purchase stays a lifetime purchase. We will not move it to a subscription later, and we will never put ads in this app. We never see your shifts. No server, no account, no tracking — your rotation stays on your phone.

A calmer way to see your work and your time. Shift Calendar brings shifts, days off and a personal pay diary together on iPhone and iPad. Your schedule stays on your device. No app account, ads or subscription. PLAN YOUR RHYTHM • Explore your month, browse an agenda or see the year. • Give shifts their own colors, symbols, short labels, notes and locations. • Reuse templates, add shifts to several dates and undo changes. • Build repeating rotations with any mix of work and rest days, including cycles without an end date. • Change one shift or adjust a rotation from a future date while keeping individual exceptions. • Plan overnight shifts and keep times in each workplace’s time zone when you travel. UNDERSTAND YOUR HOURS • Confirm work as planned or record actual times and paid or unpaid breaks. • Keep multiple jobs and currencies separate. • Set dated hourly rates, daily or weekly overtime and custom time-based or per-shift premiums. • See the calculation behind gross estimates, add explained manual adjustments and compare with a gross pay statement. • Keep a history of corrections and saved comparisons. • Track your own leave credits and time used. KEEP LIFE IN VIEW • Find shifts by title, notes, location or date. • Use home-screen widgets with an optional private display. • Set local reminders for shifts and breaks. • Optionally show Apple Calendar events and export shifts to a separate calendar. • Share PDF schedules, calendar files or read-only calendar snapshots. Export work reports as CSV. • Create password-protected backups and preview a backup before restoring it. YOUR TIME, WITHOUT A SUBSCRIPTION Try all features for 14 days through a free App Store trial purchase. Then unlock permanently with one purchase. There is no automatic charge. Viewing saved records, backing up, exporting, restoring and deleting your data remain available after the trial. Restore purchases with your Apple Account; restoring does not restart the trial. Pay figures are gross estimates based on your settings and recorded work, not tax or take-home pay calculations. Reminders follow your iOS notification settings. Shared files are snapshots, not live collaboration. Payslips Keep your payslips here and compare them with your recorded work whenever you need. PDFs stay on your device. Saved payslip PDFs are included in your backup. Privacy: https://shiftcalendar.jelluna.com/privacy/ Terms: https://shiftcalendar.jelluna.com/terms/
