One schedule, always up to date
Schedule problems often start with someone looking at an out-of-date copy. ShiftApp keeps a single copy that everyone sees, so a change reaches the right people as soon as you make it.
- Without ShiftApp: The schedule is a spreadsheet only you can edit, sent round as a photo.
- With ShiftApp: Build it once, set regular shifts to repeat, and everyone sees the same copy.
- Without ShiftApp: Staff message you to ask when they are working.
- With ShiftApp: Staff check their shifts in the app instead.
- Without ShiftApp: A late change means phoning round until someone picks up.
- With ShiftApp: Change the shift and the people affected are told at once. They can accept or decline it in the app.
- Without ShiftApp: Time off requests arrive by text, email and notes on the fridge.
- With ShiftApp: Requests come in through ShiftApp, and you can see who is away before you plan.
What managers say
ShiftApp has been a breath of fresh air, simple and easy to use for everyone.
It's now so easy to do the schedule. One really horrible job now quite pleasant to do!

Made and supported by the people who build it
I started building online schedule software in 2009, and ShiftApp is still made and supported by me and my team. When you get in touch, you talk to the people who build it, not a call centre.
My promise: we keep ShiftApp simple and reliable, so you can learn it in minutes and depend on it every day.

How does the free trial work?
