About this app

A shift planner for any shift pattern, rota or roster — with alarms that actually wake you.

Rotating shifts, nights, 4-on-4-off, 6/6, 12-hour shifts, a work rota that changes every week, or a pattern nobody else supports — set yours up once and the whole app arranges itself around it.

If your work schedule is irregular, normal calendar and budgeting apps stop being useful — because when you sleep, spend, see family, and take medication all depend on which shift you're on.

Change one shift and your countdown, alarms, sleep plan, and pay estimate all update themselves. Nothing to re-enter.

🗓️ ANY SHIFT PATTERN, ROTA OR WORK SCHEDULE
• Your whole shift schedule in a month shift calendar, colour-coded by shift type
• Build any rotation: 4 on 4 off, 6/6, 2-2-3, 12 hour shifts, fixed weeks, or your own — any length
• A rota planner that fits your rotation instead of a 9-to-5 template
• Or pick a ready-made pattern instead — 4 on 4 off, 6 on 3 off, 12x36, offshore tours and more
• Tap any day for a shift swap, overtime or leave — everything reflows instantly
• Plan your whole year's leave — annual, sick, emergency and more, each with its own balance
• Mark extra duty or training days, and bank a comp-off to spend later as its own leave type
• Your own shift types, with your names, hours and colours
• Share your roster with family as a message

⏰ ALARMS YOU CAN TRUST
• Automatic wake and "leave by" alarms, set from your shift pattern — they survive reboots and aggressive battery settings
• A live countdown to your next shift ("Leave in 1h 23m")
• A one-tap "Test my alarm" so you know it works on YOUR phone

😴 SAFESLEEP — HELP WITH SHIFT WORK SLEEP
• A recommended sleep window based on your next shift
• A real nap timer (20 or 90 min) with a wake alarm
• A caffeine cut-off time so coffee doesn't wreck your sleep
• A light-exposure checklist for night shifts

🚗 GETTING HOME SAFE
• A post-shift "how awake are you?" check, with a ride finder and one-tap ETA sharing when you shouldn't drive

👨‍👩‍👧 FAMILY & LIFE
• "Can I make it?" — check if you're free, working, or likely asleep for any event
• Share your free evenings with family in one tap
• Protect recurring family time so shifts can't quietly eat into it
• A habit tracker with its own calendar, plus gentle medication reminders — timed around your shifts
• On-duty checklists, off-day to-dos, important dates and certificate expiry — all timed to your shifts

💰 MONEY THAT FITS IRREGULAR PAY
• A work hours tracker: hours, overtime and night differentials totalled for the pay period
• An expense tracker built for a wage that changes: log spending in one tap (Need / Want / Avoidable — no shame, ever)
• A salary and earnings estimate from your actual worked roster
• A money dashboard by day, week, month or year, plus budget buckets and a savings-goal tracker
• A payday check-in, so an irregular pay cheque still gets planned

🔒 YOUR DATA STAYS ON YOUR DEVICE
• Everything you enter — schedule, sleep, money, reminders — is stored only on your phone, encrypted
• No account, no login, nothing of yours uploaded to us — we don't run a server
• The app is free and supported by a single small banner ad (Google AdMob), which uses an advertising ID to show ads; your schedule, money and health data are never shared
• A full encrypted backup you control, so switching phones never means starting over
• Your data never leaves your phone unless you export a backup yourself

Built for shift workers: nurses and healthcare staff, factory and plant operators, drivers, security, hospitality, emergency services, offshore and FIFO crews — anyone on a rotating roster.

One free app instead of four: a shift work calendar, a roster app, an alarm clock and a pay tracker.

Work & Life is a calm, judgment-free companion for the millions of people who keep the world running at all hours. Not medical or financial advice — just a shift work app that finally understands your schedule.

What’s new

Shift swaps now keep a history: who you swapped with, which way it ran, and when. Look under the calendar in Schedule.

Changed: picking a day's shift now offers every shift you work, including your current one, so you can cover a colleague on the same shift.

New: a ready-made 12-hour rotation with a 7:15 handover.

Fixed: clipped amounts in Money, and a wrong year in the calendar grid.
