Shift Calendar – Backshift

Work Rota, Hours & Pay Planner

Free · In-App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Your shift pattern, set up once. Your whole month, clear at a glance. Backshift is a shift calendar for people whose week doesn't start on a Monday: nurses, doctors, police officers, firefighters, factory and warehouse teams, security staff, carers and anyone working rotating shifts. SET YOUR ROTA ONCE Two days, two nights, four off? Build it step by step and your calendar fills itself: this month, next month, every month. Start from a ready-made pattern (2 days · 2 nights · 4 off, 24 on · 48 off, three shifts 3×8, 5 on · 2 off) or create your own with any shift types, hours and unpaid breaks, such as four on, four off. Swapped a shift, booked annual leave or been off sick? Change that one day without touching the rest, and add a note if you need to. YOUR MONTH IN COLOUR Every shift type has its own colour band across the month. Spot three nights on the trot or four days off before anyone asks "are you free on the 14th?" Prefer a list, light mode or larger text? It's all there. HOURS AND ESTIMATED PAY Enter your hourly rate and Backshift shows the month's hours, overtime and estimated earnings on one clean page. Night, overtime, Sunday and bank holiday enhancements follow the percentages you set. When a shift ends you get one question; skip it and the shift counts as planned. It's a personal estimate, not a payslip. CHECK YOUR PAYSLIP Paid monthly? Choose the month and enter the gross amounts from your payslip. Backshift compares them with the shifts you worked and shows, line by line, where basic pay, an enhancement or the gross total doesn't match, with the maths behind each line. Only gross amounts are compared; net pay, tax and deductions aren't included. Part of Backshift Pro. WITHOUT OPENING THE APP During a shift, open the app once and the time left counts live on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, with your estimated pay too on Pro. Widgets show your month and your next shift. On Apple Watch, check your week and see your next shift right on your watch face. Get a reminder before every shift, at the time you choose. SHIFTS FOR TWO Share your calendar with one person and see both rotas side by side. The days you're both off stand out. Your pay and notes are never shared. NIGHT SHIFT GUIDE Short articles on daytime sleep, when to have caffeine and winding down, each with its real sources listed. General wellbeing information, not medical advice. EXPORT A monthly PDF report, plus a calendar file (.ics) for any calendar app. MADE FOR 3AM Dark theme first, high-contrast colours, numbers that line up. Your data stays on your device and syncs with your own iCloud. Back up and restore whenever you like. Available in 36 languages. FREE AND PRO The calendar, the rota builder, the live timer, widgets and Apple Watch are free, for good. Backshift Pro adds your weekly and monthly pay with past months and comparisons, the payslip check, export, unlimited shift types, calendar sharing and the night shift guide. The yearly plan starts with a 1-week free trial. If Pro ends, your calendar and records stay. Pro is available monthly, yearly or as a one-off lifetime purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; manage them in your Apple Account settings.

What’s new in Backshift 1.1: • Set up your shift pattern by tapping boxes: day, night, day off, in any order you like. You can set the hours for each day on its own. If your shifts don’t follow a pattern, mark the days on the calendar yourself. • A big timer as soon as you open the app: see at a glance how long until your next shift, or until your shift ends. • Your Lock Screen timer now starts by itself when your shift begins. • Tap a day to change its hours, break and overtime in one place. • A new Stats screen: see how many hours, nights and weekends you worked this month. • Add to my calendar: put your shifts in the iPhone Calendar app with one tap. • Send my shift list: send the month’s list as a PDF to your manager or family. • Choose when your overtime starts, and see how much your extra pay adds to your hourly rate. New in Backshift Pro: • Alarms for your shifts: your alarms set themselves to match your shift pattern. • Sleep plan: when it’s best to sleep before and after your night shifts. • Rest warning: we let you know ahead of time when the gap between two shifts is short. • Your calendar updates itself when your pattern changes. • See your days off together with someone you love as soon as you open the app.
