AfterShift shows recovery around your shifts — naps, fatigue, and timing that actually fit your schedule. No judgment. Just clear, practical guidance.
Stop guessing your recovery between shifts.
AfterShift is a recovery and sleep app built for shift workers — night shifts, rotating schedules, and irregular start times.
Most apps compare you to a “normal” routine.
AfterShift shows what actually matters:
Your recovery in the context of your shifts.
What makes AfterShift different
Generic apps show:
• Scores without context
• Charts that don’t match real schedules
• Comparisons to “normal” sleep
AfterShift shows:
• Recovery windows between shifts
• Naps as a strategy — not a failure
• Fatigue patterns across real work cycles
• Sleep explained before and after day, evening, night, and on-call shifts
This isn’t generic sleep tracking.
It’s recovery built for shift work.

Won’t let me connect to Apple health which shows how out dated it is.
Developer Response
Update: fix is live in the latest version.You can now connect Apple Health anytime from Settings, even if you skipped it during onboarding. That missing reconnection path was the actual root cause — you were right to flag it, and you caught something I genuinely would have missed without the push.The app is actively maintained (solo dev here, shipping regularly). If you'd like to give AfterShift another shot, the Health connection should now work cleanly. Either way, thanks for the honest signal — this is exactly how small apps get better.Thanks for flagging this — you were right, and you actually caught a bigger issue than I realized at first.Turns out the problem isn't that Apple Health is broken — it's that if you skip the connection during onboarding, there's no way to re-enable it afterward. That's a genuinely bad design on my part, and you found it.The fix is already underway: adding a clear "Connect Apple Health" option to Settings so you can enable it anytime, plus better empty states that make it obvious what you're missing. Shipping in the next update.The app isn't outdated — but I can see why it felt that way from your experience. Thanks for the signal, and I'll reply again here when the fix is live so you can give it another shot if you'd like.
