Patterns that fit real work

Your rotation has its own rhythm.

Create a cycle that follows your team, not the shape of a calendar week. Add more than one shift to a day and preview before applying.

Screenshots show the current development build. Review your actual shift times and workplace rules before applying a preset.

ROTATIONS

A cycle anchored to your date.

Choose an anchor date and timezone, set each cycle day to work, off, or still unknown, then assign shift types to work days. The pattern repeats from its anchor, not automatically from Monday or the first of a month.

Shifts can end after midnight; their shift type carries the end-day offset. Jobs keep teams and templates organized. Before applying, the app previews the date range and possible overlaps.

STARTING PATTERNS

Recognizable patterns, with their assumptions.

Presets are starting points. Set crew offsets, local rules, and actual shift times to match your workplace.

018 days

4 on / 4 off

Four work days, then four off. The pattern does not set shift length or team staggering.

0228 days

DuPont

One crew: 4 nights, 3 off, 3 days, 1 off, 3 nights, 3 off, 4 days, 7 off. Teams are commonly offset by seven days.

0314 days

Pitman 2-2-3

One crew on a fixed shift: 2 on, 2 off, 3 on, 2 off, 2 on, 3 off. Phase and day/night assignment vary.

0428 days

Panama 2-2-3

A 14-day 2-2-3 day sequence followed by the same work/off sequence on nights. Team staggering varies.

058 days

Continental example

A forward 8-hour example: 2 day, 2 evening, 2 night, then 2 off. Other cycles also use this name.

PREVIEW AND COLLISIONS

Review before adding shifts.

Date range and conflicts

The rotation preview is limited to two years. Existing shift overlaps are counted, and you can skip colliding entries when applying the pattern.

Your existing plan

Shift types and jobs remain separate templates. Unknown days are not treated as days off. Changing a template does not automatically rewrite your applied roster. Deleted and personally edited occurrences stay preserved when reapplying the same assignment. It does not check local working-time rules.

Plan around what matters.
