Shift Planner

Shift Planner is a roster and pay tracker built for people who work shifts — nurses, carers, retail and hospitality staff, drivers, security, first responders, and anyone paid by the hour. Your rota reads like a rota: every day is a block carrying its shift code, and the whole month compresses into a single strip so "four on, four off" is visible at a glance. Log a shift in two taps, and the app works out the hours and the money — breaks, overtime, double time and night rates included. WHY SHIFT PLANNER • Works fully offline — no internet needed to use it • No account, no sign-in, no ads • We never see your shifts or your pay — they live on your phone • Built dark-first for 3 a.m. starts, with a light theme for daylight • Home screen widget with your next shift and the week ahead ROSTER • Month calendar of colour-coded shift blocks with short codes (D, L, N…) • Reusable shift templates: start and end time, default break, colour, own hourly rate • Overnight shifts handled properly — a 22:00–06:30 night is one shift, not two • Rotating patterns: build a cycle like 4 on / 4 off or 2 days / 2 nights / 4 off once, preview how it lands, then add it to your calendar in one go • Choose whether your week starts Monday, Saturday or Sunday PAY • Default hourly rate, or a different rate per template • Daily overtime and double-time thresholds with your own multipliers • Weekly overtime that tops up only the hours daily overtime missed • Night differential: a percentage uplift for hours inside your night window • Automatic unpaid break deduction after a set shift length • Flat tax estimate for a take-home figure • 40+ currencies, with the right number of decimals for each EARNINGS • Gross and take-home for the month • Hours, shift count and overtime at a glance • "What made it up": standard, overtime, double time and night uplift • Hours per day chart EXPORT • PDF timesheet ready to send to a manager or payroll • Spreadsheet (Excel) for invoicing or your own records • Calendar file (.ics) that Google, Apple and Outlook calendars import — no calendar permission needed BACKUP • Back up your whole roster, pay rules included, to one file you keep in Drive or email • Restore it after a reinstall or on a new phone — nothing is lost when you switch REMINDERS • Optional notification before each shift, as far ahead as you like PERMISSIONS, AND WHY • Notifications and alarms — only if you turn on shift reminders • Run at startup — so reminders and the widget survive a restart Shift Planner is free, ad-free, and keeps working in a basement ward, a depot, or anywhere the signal drops.
