IMPORT THE SCHEDULE YOU ALREADY HAVE • Scan one screenshot or a batch of images • Import PDF, copied text, shared files, and ICS calendars • Use on-device OCR—no schedule is sent to an external AI service SEE WHAT CHANGED Compare each new roster with the last import. Added shifts, changed times, and cancellations are clearly marked. Review uncertain OCR results and catch overlapping shifts before they reach your calendar.
