Ichimoku: Shift Planner
Auto-Alarm & Work Calendar
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Alarms set themselves to match your shifts—no nightly setup. Attach photos to memos and share with family in real time. The easiest way to manage your shifts.
"Tomorrow is an early shift, so I'll set it for 6 AM. The day after is a night shift, so 4 PM..."
Free yourself from the daily hassle of setting alarms.
"Ichimoku Shift" is a dedicated calendar app for shift workers that perfectly integrates shift management with your alarm clock. Fully utilizing the latest iOS 26 technology, we provide the smartest daily routine: "zero battery drain" and "no more forgotten alarms."
[Reasons to Choose Ichimoku]
■ Battery-Friendly "Shift-Linked Alarm"
Fully supports the native iOS 26 "AlarmKit." Unlike traditional alarm apps that drain your battery in the background, this app works just like the native iPhone alarm to minimize battery impact. Enter "Early Shift" in the calendar, and the alarm will only ring that morning. It automatically turns off on your days off.
■ "Stamp Input" in Seconds
"Day," "Night," "Off"... Simply tap your custom shifts and stamp them onto the calendar. It's overwhelmingly faster and more intuitive than a paper planner.
■ "Pattern Auto-Input" for Complex Rotas
Easily register fixed rotations like "4 on, 2 off" or "Day, Day, Night, Night, Off, Off." Select a start date, and fill months of shifts with a single tap.
■ "Widget" for Your Home Screen
Check your shifts at a glance without opening the app!
■ Share via Messaging Apps
Send your completed rota as a clear image to family and friends. You can hide personal notes for privacy.
■ Highly Anticipated "Real-Time Family Sync"
Automatically sync your shifts to your family's or partner's app. Your schedule reflects directly on their calendar, ending the "When is your next day off?" questions.
■ Secure Data Management
Important data is automatically backed up to iCloud. Easily restore everything with your Apple ID if you change devices.

Thank you for always using Ichimoku Roster!
In this update, we’ve added "Automation" integration to make your lifestyle even more comfortable.
【New Feature】 Integration with the "Shortcuts" App
You can now retrieve the "shift name for a specific date" directly from the default iPhone "Shortcuts" app!
This allows you to set up flexible automations tailored to your work schedule. For example: "If today's shift is 'Night', automatically turn on Focus mode from morning until evening."
On days with no shift, it will return "None" (or similar depending on your language), making it very easy to set up conditions.
Added Shortcuts Suggestions
Related suggestions will now appear in the list, making it easier to find actions within the Shortcuts app. Even if you're setting up an automation for the first time, you can do it smoothly.
Internal System Optimization
We have reviewed the app's internal code to ensure stability and compatibility with future iOS environments.
Please continue to support Ichimoku Roster. If you find the app helpful, leaving a review gives us great motivation for future development!
