A concept app for shift teams: the rota, shift swaps and hours worked, instead of a photo of a spreadsheet in a group chat.
Where people work shifts, the rota hangs in a group chat as a photo of a spreadsheet, and cover is found by posting "who can take my Saturday?" among forty other messages.
Three problems grow out of that: people forget their own shift, a swap agreement is recorded nowhere, and pay arrives as a single figure with no explanation — so every month ends in an argument.
Colour carries the shift type: morning, evening, night. The next shift is pulled out as a card — time, site and who you are working with. The one after it sits below.
A colleague posts a shift with a reason, anyone takes it in one tap. Urgent ones are marked. Finding cover stops being a conversation.
After a swap the hours move to the person who actually worked. This is exactly where trust in any informal arrangement breaks: one person works, another stays on the timesheet.
Day and night hours, swaps, deductions — itemised. The shift worker's main question is answered before it is asked.
Built to Material 3: colour roles, generous corner radii, a bottom navigation bar with a pill indicator. Tap any screen to open it large.
Taking it is not enough: it needs confirmation from both people and the manager. Otherwise someone claims a shift, does not turn up, and nobody carries theresponsibility.
Night, holiday and overtime rates are not a formula but configurable rules: labour law plus an internal policy that differs at every chain.
The app shows an indicative figure and says so plainly. The moment it looks like an accounting document, the first discrepancy becomes a dispute.
The rota and a "your shift is tomorrow" notification. That closes the first problem immediately and gives a reason to open the app daily. Swaps and pay follow second and third.
