A changing week?

Add a one-off shift, copy it to other dates or schedule several dates together.

Keep the essentials handy.

Check basic hours and statistics, or use a widget for a quick view of your schedule.

Repeating rotas · Included in Free

Your shifts.
In the right order.

For example: two early shifts, two late shifts, two nights, then two days off. Save your pattern, apply it to dates and review the result.

  1. Make your shifts

    Choose the shift names and times you use.

  2. Build the pattern

    Put shifts and rest days in the order you work.

  3. Review the calendar

    Apply it to dates, check the calendar and adjust individual shifts.

A closer look

Your schedule.
Room to breathe.

Build a pattern, check the dates in Calendar and review your hours in Basic Insights. These current app captures use made-up data.

All three are genuine current development captures from iPhone 17 using made-up data. Status-bar details are hidden. These show phone layouts; iPad will also be supported. Layouts may change. Not all launch features are shown.

One complete Pro offering

Included with Pro
at launch.

Everything in Free, plus ad-free use and the complete toolkit below. Monthly, Annual and Lifetime Pro will include the same features.

More than one job

  • Keep separate jobs and work calendars.
  • Switch between your work schedules.

Pay, overtime and rates

  • Estimate gross pay with overtime, enhancements and allowances.
  • Use historical pay rates and payroll periods.

Pay figures are estimates, not a payslip or guaranteed employer pay.

Advanced Insights

  • Explore trends and compare periods or jobs.
  • Create custom reports and save report setups to use again.

Calendars and exports

  • See events from calendars on your device.
  • Copy selected shifts to Apple Calendar.
  • Create PDF and CSV exports.

More widgets

  • Upcoming Shifts, Week Overview and Month Overview.
  • Hours & Estimated Earnings.

Backup and recovery

  • Save and restore a local backup file.
  • Use encrypted automatic cloud backups or Back Up Now.
  • Recover cloud backups through your account without a mandatory saved recovery code.

Local backup files are unencrypted; cloud content is encrypted before upload.

Backup history

  • Preview and restore earlier cloud backups.
  • Keep up to seven completed copies under the backup-history rules.
How backup history works

Sync across your devices

  • Use one account across your iPhones and iPads.
  • Sync changes made offline when you reconnect.

Private read-only sharing

  • Invite people to selected calendars and manage access.
  • Preview what you share. Invited viewers sign in and won’t need Pro.

Cloud, when you choose. Backup and synchronisation will start switched off, with a separate choice for each. Signing in alone will not start an upload. Core local planning will remain available without an account.

Cloud timing will depend on connectivity and when iOS allows the app to run. Device-calendar events and selections will stay local and will be excluded from cloud backup, sync and sharing.

Estimates help you plan. They are not a payslip or a guarantee of what your employer will pay.

Free, Remove Ads or Pro

Compare your options.

Free will cover core planning. Remove Ads will make Free ad-free. Pro will include every feature in the catalogue above.

Free will include multiple saved rotas and advance shift planning for one job. You won’t need Pro to save more rotas or record shifts further ahead.

The same planning limits apply to all three options: repeating cycles can contain up to 366 days, and one rota application with a fixed end date can cover up to 3,660 days. Ongoing rotas can continue without an end date. These are shared limits, not restrictions that Pro removes.

Device-calendar integration will use Apple’s EventKit for calendars available on your device. External calendar events and selections will stay local and will be excluded from cloud backup, synchronisation and sharing. The current local file backup tool creates an unencrypted file you save yourself; encrypted cloud backup will be separate.
