ShiftSleeper
Sleep that fits your shifts
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Built for nurses, pilots, EMS, and anyone working rotating shifts. Personalized sleep plans, day-sleep alarms, Apple Watch, widgets, and Apple Health sync.
ShiftSleeper is the sleep planner built for the shifts your body shouldn't have to fight alone.
Apple's built-in sleep features assume you go to bed at night. ShiftSleeper assumes nothing — except that your shifts aren't normal, and you deserve a plan that respects them.
WHO IT'S FOR
- Nurses, doctors, EMS, fire, police
- Pilots and flight attendants
- Oil & gas, manufacturing, hospital staff
- Truckers, security, hospitality
- Anyone working a rotating roster
WHAT IT DOES
ShiftSleeper takes your shift schedule and generates a personalized sleep plan around it:
- Pre-shift naps
- Anchor sleep windows
- Caffeine cutoff timing
- Light exposure / avoidance windows
- Wind-down reminders
- Notifications you can actually trust
ROTATION PRESETS
One-tap setup for the common patterns:
- 4-on / 4-off
- Pitman (2-3-2)
- DuPont
- Panama (2-2-3)
- Continental
- Nurse 3×12
Or build your own with the visual rotation editor.
APPLE WATCH
Native Watch app shows your next shift, today's sleep window, and quick-log buttons (nap, caffeine, wake). Complications keep your schedule on the watch face.
LIVE ACTIVITY
Persistent Lock Screen and Dynamic Island view of your current shift or sleep window — visible without opening the app.
WIDGETS
Next Shift and Sleep Window widgets for Home Screen and Lock Screen.
APPLE HEALTH
Reads your actual sleep recorded by Apple Watch or third-party apps. Writes planned sleep windows, logged naps, wake events, and dietary caffeine.
SCAN PAPER SCHEDULES
Photograph a printed roster and ShiftSleeper uses on-device OCR to detect shifts and import them automatically. No cloud upload.
CALENDAR EXPORT
Push your shifts to Apple Calendar with a 1-hour reminder. From there they sync to Google, Outlook, iCloud — whatever you use.
LIGHT THERAPY
Built-in bright-screen timer for circadian phase shifting. Daylight, amber, and red modes. Replaces a $200 SAD lamp with software.
PATTERN INSIGHTS
"Nights cost you 1.5h sleep." Real comparisons between actual sleep and shift type, generated from your Health data.
SLEEP DEBT TRACKER
See your 7-day cumulative deficit at a glance. Color-coded so you know when to prioritize rest.
SIRI + SHORTCUTS
"Hey Siri, when's my next shift in ShiftSleeper?"
"Hey Siri, log a nap in ShiftSleeper."
PRIVATE BY DEFAULT
Your data stays on your device. No accounts. No email required. No servers we run. Apple Health permission is optional.
OFFLINE-FIRST
Everything works without a network connection. Notifications are scheduled by your iPhone locally.
PRICING
Free tier: schedule input, basic sleep plan, notifications.
