About ShifRoll
The worst part of shift work isn't the shift — it's every single night before: what shift is tomorrow, what time do I need to wake up, did I set the alarm? ShifRoll ends that loop. Enter your schedule once, and every shift's alarm arranges itself automatically. Your schedule IS the alarm. And not just shifts — classes, exams, events: anything you need to show up for on time. REAL SYSTEM ALARMS ShifRoll uses the iPhone's true system alarm — not a notification. It rings on silent and Do Not Disturb, with a built-in backup tone behind it. ROUTINES — COMBINE YOUR SHIFTS ONCE Combine your existing shifts and rest days into a repeating routine — any pattern, any length — and ShifRoll fills your whole calendar with the cycle. When the roster changes, edit the routine once: every day it scheduled — and every alarm — updates with it. Rest days stay silent automatically. CHAINED REMINDERS & BACKUP ALARMS Stack multiple alarms and reminders on any event — a shift, an exam, a big day — "30 min before, 5 min before, at start," each with its own sound. Heavy sleeper? Add a follow-up alarm after the first ring, so dismissing and drifting back to sleep isn't the end of the story. A DIFFERENT SOUND FOR EVERY SHIFT Set a gentle tone for day shifts and a louder one for 3am call-outs. Sounds inherit from category down to every event, and you can override at any level. SEE IT AT A GLANCE - Home-screen and lock-screen widgets show your next event without opening the app. - Daily Digest: one morning notification summing up your whole day — or a night-before preview of tomorrow. SHARE EVENTS, SEE YOUR TEAM - Connect with friends by QR code or link — one tap, no codes to type. Rotate your code anytime to cut off old links. - Teams: one shared space for your ward, store, or crew. Share one link and everyone who joins sees each other's schedules, side by side in a team table. You approve every member. Joining a Team is always free; creating one requires Premium. - Share any event as a link or QR — anyone can add it to their own calendar and gets notified if it changes. YOUR SCHEDULE, NEVER LOST - Your full schedule — past and future — backs up and restores when you switch phones. Free, automatic. - A recycle bin holds deleted events for 30 days. - Privacy option: keep your past schedule on this device only. PREMIUM (OPTIONAL) Core functions are free, forever. Premium adds the extras — multi-device sync, creating Teams, more reminders per event — and supports a solo developer building for shift workers. Built for nurses, healthcare staff, hospitality, flight crews, and anyone whose week never looks the same twice.

What’s new
Version v4.16.0 · Updated October 20, 2026
Alarm sets, quicker shift setup, and monthly pay. Alarm sets - Your alarms now come in sets, like the Clock app: a first alarm and up to 3 more in each set, or 9 more with Premium. Find them in Library → Alarm sets. - Repeat a set on the days you choose, or let it ring once. One switch turns the whole set on or off. - Put a set on any day from the calendar, for a day it doesn't usually ring. - Skip routines and Holiday quiet a repeating set. A set you put on a day rings that day anyway. - Stopping one alarm leaves the rest of the set ringing at their times. The Home card says which alarm of the set is next. - Your alarm groups became sets, one for each alarm, and they still ring. Set up your shifts - Making a group now goes on to its shifts: a name, a code, the times and the alarm for each. One tap fills in three 8-hour shifts, two 12-hour shifts or office hours for you to change. - Pay and repeat days come next, for groups that use them. - Add more at once with Add several shifts on a group's page. - In a work group, a shift with the same times as another is flagged before it's added. - No work group yet? Tap Work on the calendar to make one. Pay - A group can have a monthly pay, counted once a month beside your shifts' pay. Set it on the group's page. - A rest-day template can carry pay, for paid leave. Holidays and rest days - A Holiday now also skips your routines that day. To keep them ringing, turn Skip routines off on that day. - Holidays from a calendar on your phone can skip routines too: turn on Treat as holidays for that calendar, and Calendar holidays skip routines in General. - A rest day no longer quiets your other routines. Use Skip or Holiday for that. - Tell Voice input (Beta) "I'm off tomorrow": it puts your rest day on, or marks a Holiday. Two phones - Once both phones are updated, your changes to shifts, events, templates and groups merge: an edit on one phone no longer undoes an edit on the other, and any of them you delete stays deleted. - Signing in to an account with a backup always brings in the account's data. The sign-in screen says so first. - Using two devices? Update both. Calendar - Drag the bar under the month for three sizes: the full month with each day's items by name, the month with the day's list, or one week. - + adds an event straight away. It goes in No group unless you choose a group. An event in No group rings only on the phone you add it on. - Each day's row starts with Template, then Holiday, Memo and Skip routines. Tap Template to put one of your templates on that day. - Any all-day event can be a day off, in any group. Around the app - Settings is in five sections. Settings → Widgets shows every widget, the Lock Screen ones too, and how to add them. - The Daily summary has its own page, where you choose the groups it covers. - Leaving an editor with unsaved changes asks first. - When a group becomes Work mode, you're asked before its shifts are shared with friends. Nothing is shared without a yes.
