Shiftyn is a shift calendar for people whose week never looks the same twice. Nurses, security officers, retail and hospitality staff, factory crews — if your schedule rotates, Shiftyn keeps it straight. TRACKING YOUR OWN SHIFTS Rotation patterns are the fastest way in. Define your cycle once — four on, two off, whatever yours is — and fill a whole month in a single tap. If it collides with shifts you already logged, Shiftyn asks what to keep instead of overwriting your work. - Live countdown to your next shift, with the week laid out below it - Custom shift types with your own hours, colours and night flags - Ready-made shift types for healthcare, security, retail, hospitality and manufacturing - Statistics by month, quarter or year: hours, work days, shift breakdown, trends - Earnings: set a rate per shift type, hourly or flat, with multipliers and date ranges. The ledger shows exactly how every figure was reached, shift by shift - Notes on individual shifts - Shift reminders on your own schedule - Share your month as an image - Subscribe to your shifts from Apple Calendar, Google Calendar or Outlook WORKING WITH A TEAM Create a team, invite people with a code or a link, and build the roster together. - Build it by hand with a fast grid — drag to move, drag to swap, quick-assign, zoom - Or generate it automatically: describe your constraints as rules and let Shiftyn solve the roster in seconds - Rules for rest periods, consecutive shifts and days, coverage, holiday and workload rotation, and more - Define certifications, roles and skills per member, then write rules that target them - Capacity check before you plan, so you know up front whether the team can staff the period - Rule health check that catches contradictions before a wasted run - Publish when ready — members only ever see published plans FOR TEAM MEMBERS - Your own schedule, plus the full team roster read-only - See who you're working with on any given day - Request leave, and see where the request stands - Swap shifts three ways: hand one over, ask for one, or trade - Get notified when the plan changes or your request is answered - Members never pay, and never see ads FREE AND PRO Shiftyn is free to use.
