WorkRota is your personal shift calendar for your schedule, actual worked hours, and estimated gross pay. No account is required; work data stays locally on your device.
Your calendar, your view
Switch between month, week, and agenda. The app remembers your view; swipe to change weeks. Custom shift types and repeating cycles include night shifts crossing midnight.
Search and edit directly
Find shifts by note, shift type, and date range. Open a result to edit times or notes. A prompt protects unsaved changes when you leave.
Keep track of actual hours
Record worked time, unpaid breaks, overtime, extra work blocks, absences, and public holidays. Compare planned and actual hours.
Understand your gross pay estimate
Monthly and yearly reports estimate earnings from your own rates and rules. WorkRota does not calculate taxes or net pay.
Import and paystub checks
In Pro, read a schedule from a photo, screenshot, or PDF, then review matched shifts and the exact changes before saving. Nothing changes without confirmation. Paycheck Guardian in Pro recognizes gross pay, hours, and premiums from a photo or PDF. Free keeps manual shift entry, pasted text, and manual paystub comparison. Free also includes your first successful schedule recognition and your first paystub recognition at no charge.
What WorkRota Pro adds
WorkRota Pro unlocks multiple schedules and templates, advanced reports and pay rules, PNG/PDF/CSV exports, smart reminders, calendar sync, widgets, regular local restore points. It also adds photo/PDF imports, advanced recovery with optional Health Connect, Flow automation, saved and shared swaps, higher planning limits, and Wear OS.
Manual encrypted off-device export of your backup is available in Free at no charge.
Your schedule as an image
In Pro, share a week or month as PNG. Choose whether to show times and include notes. Notes are off by default; pay data is never added to the image.
Make the home screen yours
Reorder cards and pin up to three favorite actions. Choose optional tools in the Module Center; turning one off keeps its settings. Pro promotions have their own switch.
Privacy and permissions
Your schedule, timesheet, pay rules, and notes are stored locally in WorkRota. Recognition runs on-device; the working file copy is deleted after processing. Unfinished text and fields stay temporarily on-device. Drafts are deleted after saving the import or clearing the document, or at the next app start after 7 inactive days. Drafts are excluded from backups and analytics. WorkRota uses the calendar only after you grant permission. Wear OS uses a persistent DataItem for paired devices. Allow-list: 7 shifts max (dates, names, codes, times), language/region, state, revision, random install token and source ID against stale updates; no pay, rates, notes or rota IDs. Google may back up or sync it via cloud even with Bluetooth; cloud transfer is end-to-end encrypted and only the same signed WorkRota app can read it. Turning it off replaces shifts with a minimal reset. No WorkRota account/backend. Health Connect reads only sleep duration when you ask it to, not in the background, and does not send it elsewhere. Purchase status is handled through Google Play and RevenueCat.
WorkRota is for individual shift workers, not company workforce scheduling. It does not calculate taxes or net pay. Recovery and health-related features are personal planning aids, not medical advice.
Your shift calendar, actual hours, and gross pay estimate in one place.
