Book'd Off: Shift Rota Planner

Book’d Off is a rota and time-off manager built for the complexities of shift workers — Police, NHS, Fire, Security and Prison Officers. Your calendar app can show you a shift. It can’t tell you how much annual leave you have left, what your TOIL balance is, or how many re-rostered rest days you’re still owed. Book’d Off counts all of it, so it stops living on a scrap of paper in your locker. Your rota lives on your device. No account to create, no tracking, no ads, no subscription. ⚙️CORE FEATURES (FREE) Smart Rota Generator — Map multi-week, multi-team patterns including 4 on 4 off, 6 on 4 off, continental, 2-2-3 etc. Dynamic Shift Types — Custom colours, short codes and day-specific times (e.g. 07:00–15:00 weekdays, 07:00–17:00 weekends). Flexible Calendar — Month swipe or continuous scroll, week starting Sunday or Monday, copy & paste shifts, shift notes and per-shift customisation. Leave Management — Annual leave allowance, carry-over surplus, and full or half days. Leave year starts wherever yours does — calendar or tax year. On-Call Tracking — Flag any shift as on-call, visible on the calendar. Basic Overtime — Track the hours you’ve worked, with a report. Daily Dashboard — Today’s shift, your next working day and your next day off, above your leave and TOIL balances. Home Screen Widgets — Dashboard and 7-day shifts. Manual Backup & Restore — Export your full database as a .json file and restore it whenever you like, merging or replacing. Shared Calendar Viewing — View a calendar someone has shared with you. Themes — Light and dark, with your own accent colour. 🔒BOOK’D OFF PRO (ONE-TIME PURCHASE) Police Regs Assistant — On-screen prompts for extended duty, recall to duty, rest day working notice periods, bank holiday working, and what you may be entitled to when booked annual leave is cancelled (Police Regulations 2003, England & Wales). Bank Holiday Intelligence — UK bank holidays plotted automatically, banking “Rest Days Owed” when one falls on your rest day. Advanced Overtime — Pay or TOIL, casual or pre-planned, at your own rates. Dated pay rate history means last year’s overtime is valued at last year’s rate. TOIL & RRD Vault — Proper tracking and allocation for Time Off In Lieu and Re-Rostered Rest Days. Live Partner View — Share a read-only view of your rota by code or QR, through your own Google Drive. Keep family or a partner synced without manual updates. Pattern Sharing — Export your rota pattern to share with colleagues, or import theirs and skip the setup. Auto Backup — Automatic backup to your device, or to your own Google Drive. Shift Alarms — Set an alarm before any shift type once (e.g. two hours before every early turn). Full-screen, over the lock screen. Mileage Tracker — Log commute mileage against working shifts, with annual totals and a home screen widget. Professional Reporting — Detailed reports for overtime and pay, hours worked, mileage and re-rostered days, so your payslip and your records agree. Wear OS App & Tiles — Today’s shift, the week ahead and your balances, on your wrist. 🛡️PRIVACY & TRUST No account to create. Your rota is stored on your device; only the optional cloud features and the bank holiday download need a connection. No analytics. No tracking. No advertising. Nothing is uploaded for us to look at, and there is nothing for us to sell. Cloud features are optional. Google Drive backup and calendar sharing are opt-in, and they use your own Google Drive — the app can only see files it created there. One-time purchase. No monthly fees. Buy it once, own it forever.
