What you get

Start with alarms that understand shifts

The core is not a generic calendar. It is an iOS shift alarm system that understands night work, midnight boundaries, and rotating cycles.

iOS shift alarms

Alarms stay attached to each shift, including a 23:00 to 07:00 night shift handled as one work block.

Automatic cycle planning

Pre-built 3-shift, 4-shift, weekend cycles. Or design your own and reuse it forever.

Whole-month coverage

Set a cycle once and the calendar fills the whole month — no day-by-day setting.

Hours that add up

Daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, yearly totals — visible right where you plan.

Export, anywhere

Pro members export to Excel and CSV for payroll, manager review, or personal records.

Family Sharing

One Pro purchase, up to five family members. Sync schedules with the people you live with.

01

What is Shift?

Shift is an iPhone and iPad planner for rotating shift work. It combines cycle templates, shift-aware alarms, and hour totals inside one schedule calendar.

02

How does it work?

Choose or create a shift cycle, then apply it to a date range. The calendar fills the month automatically, while alarms and hour totals stay attached to each shift.

03

What problem does it solve?

It removes repeated day-by-day schedule entry, manual hour counting, and fragile night-shift alarm setup, especially for shifts that cross midnight.

How cycles work

Define a cycle once.Apply it forever.

A cycle is just a rotating sequence of shifts. Pick the cycle that matches your rota, and Shift fills the calendar — including alarms — automatically.

  1. 01

    Pick a template or build your own

    Three-shift, four-shift, or anything in between. Customize names, hours, and colors.

  2. 02

    Apply to a date range

    Pick a start date and a span. Shift writes the whole month in seconds.

  3. 03

    Tweak any single day

    Tap any cell to swap, skip, or add a memo. The cycle keeps running underneath.

  4. 04

    Alarms follow your shifts

    Each shift carries its own ringtones and reminders. They update with the rota.

Answers

Frequently asked questions

Short, factual answers. If you need anything else, see the support page.

Is Shift free?

Yes. Calendar, cycles, templates, shift alarms, and basic hours are free forever. Pro adds export, ad-free, Family Sharing.

Can it handle a 4×3 (four-team, three-shift) rota?

Yes. Built-in templates cover 3-shift / 4-shift, and you can define any cycle length and shift mix yourself.

Do alarms work across midnight?

Yes. A night shift starting at 23:00 and ending at 07:00 is treated as a single shift; alarms keep firing across the day boundary.
