Enter your rotating schedule once. ShiftDeck draws your whole working year, wakes you before every shift and never on a day off, and counts your hours and overtime. Free with no ads: the full calendar, an alarm before every shift, paid hours, widgets and every export. One optional, one-time unlock adds the rest. No subscription. No account needed. Any rotating schedule Start from 2-2-3 (Panama), 4 on 4 off, DuPont, 7 on 7 off, 24 on 48 off or a weekly pattern, or build any cycle day by day, such as Pitman, Continental or nights only. A live preview shows your year as you go. One-off changes sit on top of your pattern without touching it. Night shifts that show both days A night shift sits on the day it starts, with its start time, and its finish shows on the next morning. The week view draws the whole block across midnight. Hours are real time worked, even on the nights the clocks change. An alarm before every shift Alarms follow your pattern, swaps and sick days, so they ring before shifts and stay quiet on days off. They are real alarms, not plain notifications. Alarm health checks everything on your phone that could stop one, and tells you how to fix it. Swap in two taps Pick the day and the date to trade with. ShiftDeck shows what the change affects before you apply it, moves the alarm with the shift, and keeps every change one tap from undo. Hours, nights and overtime Paid hours with unpaid breaks taken off, night hours, overtime by week, fortnight or four weeks, and an estimate of gross pay from your hourly rate. A recovery plan from your shifts Sleep windows and advice for early starts and runs of nights, worked out from your real schedule. Each suggestion shows the study behind it. It is not medical advice. Your next shift at a glance Home and lock screen widgets, a next-shift Live Activity, and an Apple Watch app with a complication. A schedule that survives a new phone One backup file restores everything. Export to your calendar (.ics) or a printable PDF, or publish a calendar link that stays up to date. Share with your partner and team A read-only link or QR code with shift times only: no pay, no notes. Compare with a colleague to find days you are both off, or run a team schedule with swap requests. Sharing needs a free account. Nothing else does. Read a printed schedule Take a photo of a paper schedule. The text is read on your phone, matched to your shift types, and you check each day before one undoable change. Private by design Your schedule lives on your phone and works offline, in a basement or on a night shift with no signal. No ads, no tracking. Anonymous usage statistics only if you say yes. Built for everyone VoiceOver reads the month as a table, text scales to 200%, color is never the only signal, and a pre-dawn palette keeps early mornings easy on the eyes.
