Schichter - Shift calendar2.1.0 - App Store

You want to know when you’re working - and when you’re off. Schichter is your shift calendar for that: on iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch.

Early, late, nights or rotating shifts: you build the roster the way you actually work, swap duties and log vacation. Your hours stay in view.

Whether you work in healthcare, emergency services, production or hospitality - when the roster changes, your plan stays clear.

WHAT YOU CAN DO

. Build your shift plan
Create templates and turn them into your calendar. When the roster changes, you adjust it in a few taps.

. Make it yours
Colors, notes and breaks per shift type, so you see what’s next at a glance.

. Stay flexible
Swap shifts, log vacation and manage time off without losing the overview.

. Review hours and time off
Working hours, vacation days and more in clear summaries. Period presets, export as CSV or as a PDF report.

. Connect your iOS Calendar
Add shifts to the system calendar so appointments and duties sit together. Optionally export all shifts as an .ics file (including notes and work location).

. Widgets and Apple Watch
Your plan on the Home Screen or your wrist - without opening the app.

. iPad
In landscape, calendar on the left and day details on the right. In portrait, more room for both.

. Weather and Dark Mode
Weather for your shifts - tap for details, hourly and daily forecast. Plus a comfortable dark appearance.

. iCloud (optional In-App Purchase)
Backup and sync across all your devices, if you want it.

. Data backup
Automatic backups on this device - including right after an update, even if iCloud is off. Manual backups in iCloud Drive (Schichter > Backups) stay if you delete the app.

. PDF calendar
Export your calendar as PDF (current year plus the next two years) - optionally to iCloud Drive, including sharing. The Drive setting applies on all your devices.

You can reach me in English and German - questions and ideas are welcome.

Schichter is for you if you work shifts and want work and free time easier to plan together.
