Shift Scheduler Support

Shift Scheduler is a shift calendar for people who work rotating shifts. Questions, problems or ideas: [email protected].

My shifts follow no fixed pattern. How do I enter them?

Tap Fill In Shifts… on the calendar, pick a shift, then tap the days it falls on. For a shift that does follow a pattern, set the days on and days off in the shift and the app continues the pattern for you.

How does Import from a Photo work?

Under Fill In Shifts… tap Import from a Photo… and take or choose a picture of the roster. Move the row with the dates into the band, then your own row. The result is listed day by day; nothing is written to the calendar until you have checked it and tapped Apply. If the picture is your own month and nobody else's, choose The whole picture is my own month.

Does Import from a Photo cost anything?

Three readings are free. After that it needs a one-time purchase: not a subscription, and nothing renews. Everything else in the app is free.

I bought it, but it is still locked

Tap Restore Purchase on the Import from a Photo screen, and check that the App Store is signed in with the Apple Account that made the purchase.

The result is wrong

A sharper picture and a closer cut give a better result. Both rows must be fully inside the band; with a large table, zoom in before cutting. Days the app is unsure of are marked for you to confirm, and every day can be changed on the review screen.

The reminder does not ring in silent mode

Switch on Ring as an Alarm in Settings. The reminder before a shift then rings as a system alarm, in silent mode and during a Focus as well. This needs a recent version of iOS, and the app must be allowed to use alarms.

How much will I earn this month?

Enter the Hourly Pay on each shift, and the statistics show Estimated Pay. The overtime rate and payday are in Settings. It is an estimate from your shifts; your payslip is what counts.

How do I get my shifts into the system calendar?

Switch calendar sync on in Settings. The app writes your shifts to the system calendar, and later single-day changes follow.

Moving to a new phone

Use Back Up to a File… in Settings and save the file to iCloud Drive or send it to yourself; on the new phone, read it back with Restore from a Backup…. A full device restore from iCloud or a computer brings the data along as well.
