Name alarms; choose personal or one team calendar for alarms, independently of the calendar viewed. WEATHER REMINDERS Home shows weather, shift and alarm. Tap to edit; confirm each change. With consent, ongoing cloud reminders use the last synced area, roster and alarms, including cycles/holidays. Sync changes; forecasts/alerts depend on network, system and permissions. VOICE & TIMING Optional on-device speech reads shifts/available forecasts: Chinese voices, three speeds, preview; off by default. Move automatic alarms 1–180 minutes by weekday/date. Dates take priority; one-time manual edits stay. Guided setup: skip, resume, saved drafts. BUSINESS TEAMS Owners manage people/shifts, review/publish rosters and handle swap, overtime, leave and handover requests.

Choose content/hide amounts. Push refresh depends on network/system. Pay is timestamped, refreshed on opening, not continuous actual income. IMPORT & EXPORT Free Calendar/ICS/image imports; unlimited on-device recognition. Review/match/create shifts and edit dates/times first.
