Plan your shifts in minutes
Planning shifts by hand means copying the same rotation over and over and hoping you did not leave a gap. This planner does the repeating for you: pick a rotating pattern, add your crews, and every day and night shift falls into place.
Shift calendar maker
The same tool works as a shift calendar maker. After you generate, switch between the team view and a single employee's calendar, and use the weekly view to see one week at a time. Export as a printable PDF, a PNG image, or a CSV for spreadsheets.
