Your rotating shifts, months ahead.
See today and your next shift the moment you open the app, change a day in two taps, and send your next weeks to family or your team in three. Pick one of four built-in rotations or build your own, and Shifty colours every day, reminds you before each shift and adds up your hours and pay. No account, no ads, and Shifty never sends your schedule anywhere unless you share it.
For nurses, police, fire and ambulance crews, factory, security, retail and hospitality workers: anyone who needs to know which shift they're on weeks or months ahead.
The Now card shows the shift you're on or the next one, with its times and a countdown. Tap it to open that day.
Tap a day, then tap its new shift, Off or Leave, with Undo right there. Or pick a shift and tap or drag across several days at once.
Send the next 2 or 4 weeks, or a month, as a message for WhatsApp or text, as a picture, or as a calendar file for Google, Apple or Outlook.
Tap your rotation, line it up with your roster on a four-week preview, check your shift times, choose your reminders and you're done.
The evening before at 8pm, or 1, 2 or 4 hours before each shift, plus an optional second reminder, with sound or silent.
Paid hours with unpaid breaks taken off, overtime week by week, shift counts, leave left, and estimated pay from your hourly rate.
2-2-3 Continental, 4-On 4-Off, DuPont and Pitman are built in, or build your own from 2 to 56 days. Up to five shift types with your own names, letters, times, colours and unpaid breaks.
Mark leave days, log who you swapped with and who owes whom, and add a note to any day. Public holidays are marked for the USA, UK, Ireland, Australia and Canada.
On Android, your next shift and the week ahead sit on your home screen, so you can see them without opening the app.
Screenshots and crops are the real app, not mockups, with a sample schedule. The moving rota at the top of the page is an illustration.
The Now card at the top of the calendar shows the shift you're on, or the next one, with its times and a countdown: “Starts in 6 h 38 m”, “On now · ends 7pm”, or “Off today” with the next shift underneath. Tap it to open that day. Under the calendar, a one-line summary gives the month's shifts, hours and estimated pay, and the legend explains every colour and mark on screen.
Tap a day, then tap its new shift, Off or Leave. The day changes, the bar closes and Undo is right there. The calendar stays in view, and tapping another day moves straight to it. A note or a swap is one more tap, and holding a day opens everything about it. For a run of days, tap Several days, pick a shift, then tap or drag across the days: one Undo puts them all back.
Tap Share, choose the next 2 weeks, the next 4 weeks or the month on screen, and send it as a message ready for WhatsApp, text or email, as a picture, or as a calendar file for Google, Apple or Outlook Calendar. A preview shows the message before you send it, and notes stay out unless you switch them on. A colleague who has Shifty can import your rotation.
Tap the rotation you work: 2-2-3 Continental, 4-On 4-Off, DuPont or Pitman. Move it a day at a time until the next four weeks match your roster, check your shift times and you're done. Working something else? Build your own in a grid: any cycle from 2 to 56 days, or 1 to 8 weeks, with a quick fill from the built-in rotations. Change the start day later in Settings.
Shifty reminds you the evening before at 8pm, or 1, 2 or 4 hours before each shift, with an optional second reminder and a choice of sound or silent. Settings shows when the next one is due. On Android, allow On-time reminders and they arrive on time instead of up to an hour late, and add the home-screen widget to see your next shift and the week ahead without opening the app.
Hours & pay counts paid hours with each shift's unpaid break taken off, overtime week by week against your own threshold, and shift counts for any month or year. Add your hourly rate and it estimates your pay before tax, in the currency you choose; set a leave allowance and it shows how many leave days you've used and how many are left. Give each shift type its own name, letter, times, colour and unpaid break, up to five types.
Mark leave days, log who you swapped with and who owes whom, and add a note to any day. Leave shows as L and a swap as S, a dot marks a note and a corner marks a public holiday. The month grid shows whole weeks, weeks start on Monday or Sunday as you choose, and tapping the month's name shows the whole year. Public holidays for the USA, UK, Ireland, Australia and Canada are marked for every year, including substitute days off.
The bar at the bottom has three tabs: Calendar, Hours & pay and Settings. Settings is a short list where each row shows what it's set to and opens one page: Rotation, Shift types, Reminders, Calendar, Hours & pay, Backup & restore, Appearance and More. One backup file holds your shifts, rotation, notes, swaps and settings; restore it on a new phone and Shifty asks before it replaces anything.
Pick one of four built-in rotations and move it a day at a time until the next four weeks match your roster, or build your own from 2 to 56 days.
Check the times of the shifts your rotation uses and choose your reminders: the evening before at 8pm is already picked. Colours, letters and unpaid breaks are in Settings.
Tap a day, then tap its new shift, with Undo right there. Reminders, hours and pay keep count.
Midnight is the default. Open Settings, then Appearance, to switch to Slate or Daylight. Real screens of the app, with the same sample schedule.

No. Your calendar, notes, swaps, leave days and settings carry over exactly as they were.
