Last night's sleep imports itself. Your roster reads itself. AfterShift finally counts recovery the way shift work actually happens — around the clock, not 9 to 5.
Most sleep apps assume you sleep at night. If you work shifts, that's the whole problem — they score you against a 9-to-5 clock you don't work, so the nap you took before a night shift looks like "failure" instead of recovery.
AfterShift is built the other way around. It measures your sleep and recovery between shifts — shift-to-shift, not midnight-to-midnight — so the numbers finally match the life you actually live.
YOUR ROSTER, READ FOR YOU
Connect your calendar and AfterShift detects your shifts automatically — no typing in three weeks of rota by hand. It even spots overtime and schedule changes. Five shift types are modelled: day, evening, night, on-call, and off.
RECOVERY, TIMED TO WHEN YOU CLOCK OUT
See how ready you are for your next shift, how your sleep debt is trending across cycles, and a clear recovery plan for the hours you actually have — not a generic "aim for 8 hours" you can't reach before a 7pm start.
YES, THE NAP COUNTS
Pre-shift naps, split sleep, and on-call rest are first-class here. AfterShift knows a 90-minute nap before nights is recovery, and scores it like one.
REMINDERS TIMED TO YOUR SHIFT — FREE
Wind-down, caffeine cut-off, and nap-window reminders fire relative to your next shift start, not the clock on the wall. All free.
A COACH FOR NIGHTS, NOT MORNINGS
21 sleep techniques chosen for shift work — fall asleep faster after a late finish, reset on a turnaround, nap without the grogginess. Each one tells you when to use it and how long it takes.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Your data stays on your iPhone. No account. No cloud sync. No employer dashboard. Sleep is read from Apple Health (read-only), and on Pro, explanations are generated by on-device Apple Intelligence — your data is never sent to a server.

Last night's sleep from Apple Health appears on its own — open the app in the morning and it's already there.

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.
Stronger caffeine tracking — and a few things to make rest easier.
• Caffeine by strength, not just count
Log what you actually had — coffee, espresso, energy drink, or tea. AfterShift now weighs each by how much caffeine it really carries, so a double espresso and a cup of tea don't count the same.
• A cut-off time that fits your intake
Your caffeine reminder now shifts with how strong your usual drink is — earlier on heavy days, later on lighter ones — so it lands when it actually helps your next sleep.
Plus performance improvements and small fixes throughout.
Built for people who sleep around their shifts, not the clock. Thanks for being here.
