About this app

ShiftBell is a shift planner and reminder app built for real work schedules.

Plan your week, add shifts in seconds, mark holidays or unavailable days, and get reminders for the times that matter most — like when to wake up, get ready, and leave. Whether your rota stays the same every week or changes all the time, ShiftBell helps you stay organised without overcomplicating things.
