Shift Planner
Shifts or free-form hours – overtime under control
What the app can do
Shift Planner is built for shift workers just as much as for people with side jobs and changing working hours. In the weekly plan you enter your working time – either as a fixed shift (set up shift types such as early, late or night once with their own duration and simply pick them from then on) or, chosen per employer, as free-form time tracking with a direct start/end time or just a plain number of hours. The dashboard shows you what matters right now at a glance: your next shift, the current month, your next vacation and your overtime balance per employer.
At its core is automatic overtime calculation: from your weekly-hours profile, the public holidays of your state and your vacation, the app continuously works out the target-vs-actual comparison. Vacation is tracked as a running yearly account – unused days automatically carry over into the next year, optionally with an expiry date.
The same works for several employers at once, each with its own hourly wage, vacation entitlement, weekly-hours profile, and independently whether that employer uses shifts or free-form time tracking. With Nearby-Sync you can also share your schedule directly from device to device with other Shift Planner users nearby – with no internet connection needed at all.
