ShiftPlanner monthly calendar with colored early, late and night shifts, showing 22 shifts and 163:15 hours below

How it works

  1. Create shift types

    Early, late and night are already set up – you adjust times and breaks.

  2. Enter your schedule

    Tap days, or roll out your shift pattern for weeks and months at once.

  3. See it all at a glance

    Alarms, reminders and your hours for the month – ShiftPlanner keeps track.

A look inside the app

A calm, dark calendar where every shift is recognizable by its color at once.

Everything for your work schedule

For nurses, police, firefighters, production, hospitality and everyone who does shift work. The badges show which device has each feature.

Shift calendar

Month, week, year or list: every shift in its own color, several shifts per day, notes and your own events. With “Fill month” you enter a whole month in one go.

  • iPhone
  • Apple Watch
  • Android

Roll out shift patterns

Templates like 2-2-2-2, 4 on / 4 off, continuous shifts, 2-2-3 or DuPont – or your own rhythm. Days you changed by hand are kept when you roll the pattern out again.

  • iPhone
  • Android

An alarm per shift

A separate alarm for each shift type, plus reminders before a shift and at the end of your workday. A warning tells you when the rest between two shifts gets too short.

  • iPhone
  • Android

Night shifts calculated correctly

When a shift ends after midnight, ShiftPlanner counts it correctly into the next day. Public holidays for all 16 German states, Austria and Switzerland appear right in the calendar.

  • iPhone
  • Android

Hours & overtime

Hours and shifts per month are free. Week and year reports, custom date ranges, and an overtime and vacation balance come with Premium.

  • iPhone
  • Android

Hourly wage & premiums

With Premium, ShiftPlanner estimates your gross pay – from an hourly wage or a monthly salary, with premiums for night, Sunday and holiday work.

  • iPhone
  • Android

PDF, calendar & coworkers

With Premium you export your work schedule as a PDF, copy it into your system calendar or share it with coworkers.

  • iPhone
  • Android

Widgets & Lock Screen

The Next Shift widget is free; the Schedule and Agenda widgets come with Premium. A countdown runs before your shift – as a Live Activity on iPhone, as a notification on Android.

  • iPhone
  • Android

Apple Watch

Next shift, month overview and hours on your wrist – and add or remove a shift right on the watch. Plus a complication for your watch face.

  • Apple Watch

Siri & Shortcuts

“When is my next shift?” – Siri answers, adds shifts, calls you in sick and tells you your hours for the month.

  • iPhone

Your work schedule under control – even with rotating shifts

A shift schedule instead of paper chaos

Instead of snapping a photo of the rota, you enter your shifts once and always have them with you. Colors, short codes and times show at a glance when you have early, late or night shift.

For every shift pattern

Whether rotating shifts, continuous shifts or 12-hour shifts: set up your rhythm as a rotation and roll it out for months. If you swap a shift, you only change that one day.

Nurses, police, firefighters and more

ShiftPlanner is made for everyone who does shift work – in nursing, with the police and fire department, in production, logistics or hospitality.
