About

Shiftlare

Features
Read full description

Shiftlare helps small groups organise liftshares fairly. If you commute with colleagues and share the driving, you know the coordination tax: whose turn is it, who covered for who, who owes what. Shiftlare handles the scheduling and tracking so you don't have to. How it works Create a liftshare group and invite your fellow commuters with a simple code. Set up your rotation — weekly or daily — and Shiftlare generates a fair schedule that continues from where you left off. When life happens and you can't drive, request cover with a tap. Everyone in the group gets notified instantly. When someone picks up your shift, credits transfer automatically so the balance stays fair over time. Features • Fair scheduling — Automatic rotations that share the load evenly • Cover requests — Ask for cover and notify everyone instantly • Credit tracking — Automatic balance so no one needs to remember who owes what • Calendar view — See your schedule at a glance • Home screen widget — Know who's driving today without opening the app • Real-time updates — Changes sync instantly across all devices Built for small groups Shiftlare is designed for the informal liftshares that happen between colleagues and friends — the ones that run on trust and fairness rather than corporate policy. Groups of 2-6 people who want to share the commute without the coordination overhead. Privacy first Your data stays yours. We use row-level security so your schedule and credits are only visible to your group.
