Traditional calendar apps aren’t ideal for shift workers. You don’t necessarily work a traditional Monday to Friday 9-5 job. That makes it hard to keep track of when you’re working, especially with early morning and overnight schedules.

Shifts solves this problem with a simple solution. Create your own custom shifts using our attractive icons and color picker, then add them to your calendar with just one tap.

You can add up to 2 shifts per day, or setup a shift rotation and apply it to your Shifts calendar all at once. This makes it easy to enter an entire month – or even year’s worth of shifts in less than a minute! See any of your upcoming shifts right from the lock screen.

After you’ve entered your shifts, you can view them in our beautiful month view calendar, or in a handy list format. You can overlay your personal calendar on top, so you’ll know when you have things going on outside of work.

With just a tap you can share your schedule with friends, family, and co-workers – whether they’re using Shifts or not.

Built exclusively for iOS 8 and Apple’s latest iPhones, Shifts is the modern way to keep track of your work schedule.

********************************************************

CREATE SHIFTS

Add as many shifts as you’d like, and choose your own icon and headerr for each shift type.

ADD TO CALENDAR WITH ONE TAP

Select one of your shifts, then tap each day on the calendar you’d like to add it to. Up to 2 shifts per day.

SHARE YOUR SCHEDULE

Send friends, family, and co-workers your work schedule whether they’re using Shifts or not.

VIEW UPCOMING SHIFTS RIGHT IN THE WIDGET

See your schedule without even opening up the app, right from the lock screen, or from inside any other app.

SET UP CUSTOM SHIFT ROTATIONS

Set up shift rotations and Shifts will automatically apply your shifts over any date range you choose – great for repeating schedules (e.g. a 3-week schedule that repeats for 4 months).

Reviews

Great start!
dcash14

Perfect for shift workers. Would love more integration/sync with native calendars as well as option to change first day of week to Monday.


Awful
JediMstrKris

Not intuitive at all. Can't delete shifts. The entire app doesn't make sense. I've had to delete it twice now and start completely over in an attempt to click the right buttons.


Good start, can't wait to see what comes next
T.wakeley

I work nights, this makes it easier for me and my friends to understand when I work. No bugs so far!


This is easy and useful
Lacknir

I love the stripped down interface, it's quick and works well for my long hours military schedule. I request a feature to share an editable version of my calendar instead of just a screen capture as we in the military tend to edit each other's schedules based on dynamic day to day events.


Better than expected, but…
Zanjanski

Certainly better then most calendars that assume a 9-5, M-F work week. I do think there's room for improvement. I want to be able to add more than 2 shifts a day (newsflash: sometimes I work 3 different jobs a day), I'd love to start my calendar week on Monday instead of Sunday and the shift rotation set up is a little confusing.


Missing key feature
JeremyInPDX

This app does what it advertises. It has a clean interface and I like the NC widget integration. What would make it a 5 star app is if it could tie into and edit an Apple or Google calendar. Adding a shift with 2 taps is great but I can only see it in this app.


More difficult than using calendar
jordank1986

I was excited for this app since I have a confusing bi weekly work schedule and wanted to free up the calendar on my phone for other uses besides just work. I followed the developer blog up to the release of this app. Unfortunately I was disappointed with the results. The interface has a learning curve. I tried to use the rotation feature since I have a bi-weekly rotation at my work; so I set up the rotation and applied it. The rotation applied my shifts incorrectly for the year. Then I came to find that once the shifts are applied you can ONLY REMOVE SHIFTS ONE AT A TIME. The only way to fix this is to delete the app and try again. The ability to sync to my stock calendar on my phone is poorly integrated. I have my shifts loaded in my calendar on my phone, as of right now there is no ability to convert this calendar to a shift calendar (I'm betting this is a lot to ask of a calendar app) The best app I have found to be worthwhile is Fantastical. I use that for my shifts. It has a straightforward interface AND has the ability to move a single shift to another day (in the event should you need to switch a day with a co-worker). Right now in Shifts to move a shift you have to delete the shift and re add the shift. Not very intuitive especially when many other calendar apps have this feature. The Notification Center screen is also poorly done. Instead of showing the monthly calendar view (like Fantastical), Shifts displays a list of the next week's shifts. Since the whole point of this app is to display your shifts clearly on a monthly calendar this doesn't make sense. If there was an ability to remove multiple shifts then at least I could delete the rotation that added incorrectly to give it another go around.


Nearly perfect
Tactleneck

As a nurse, I work shifts that span from one day to the next and all the other calendar apps I have tried make viewing and deciphering my schedule a nightmare, not to mention how tedious and time consuming actually entering my schedule is. Shifts solves all of that! It is simple and elegant. I can easily see what I'm working and I can literally plug in six weeks worth of my schedule in seconds. The only drawback for me is that Shifts uses pictures to represent shifts which works great for my day, evening, and night shifts. But my work also has 3 other standard shifts and random others that aren't easily assigned pics. If I could customize a combo of letters and numbers to represent those other shifts, this app would be perfect for me. For example, 11am-7pm is 11A8, an 8 hour shift that begins at 11am. Overall, though, this app is awesome!


Not impressed
Tdp130psu

Entering calendar shifts into this app doesn't automatically enter them into the apple calendar. The problems this creates is 1- You will not be able to see your shifts on your other devices like MacBook or iPad. 2- if you have a shared calendar with anyone these shifts will not be added to the shared calendar. The only true calendar syncing for this is it will take your events that are already loaded into your apple calendar and make them visible in the shifts calendar. I have contacted the app support to learn about solutions to these problems but still have not received a response after a few days. This will be a cool app once these issues are addressed, until then I think this app is a waste of money. Upto is a better calendar app.


Fix
ccastrorta

I can not add many times because when I'm going to put a time that is early morning, you are stuck and I can not climb to the top to choose the time, Fix it please.
