New: Multi-Week Pattern scheduling & Overview At a Glance for quick shift insights. Plus bug fixes and performance tweaks

This update is all about one thing: getting shifts covered faster, with less chasing and less confusion. We've rebuilt how you request coverage, added a proper notifications system, and given you the breathing room to handle requests on your own schedule. Here's everything that's new. Send swap invites and standby invites Coverage gaps are the most stressful part of running a roster, and until now filling them meant phone calls, group chats, and hoping someone said yes. Not anymore. You can now send swap invites and standby invites directly from Shiftly Team, straight to the people you need. A swap invite lets you offer one of your shifts to a teammate and ask them to take it or trade for it. A standby invite lets you reach out to people who've flagged themselves as available, so you can pull in cover the moment a gap appears. Both go out in just a couple of taps. Best of all, you're not locked into one way of reaching people. Send invites through iMessage, email, or any communication app your team already uses. Whether your crew lives in a group text, an inbox, or somewhere else entirely, the invite meets them where they are no forcing anyone to download or check yet another tool. That flexibility means faster yeses and fewer uncovered shifts. Notification Center and alerts Requests are only useful if the right people actually see them, so this release introduces a proper Notification Center inside Shiftly Team. Every swap invite, standby request, response, and update now flows into one clear, organized place. Real-time alerts mean you're notified the instant something needs your attention a teammate accepting a swap, a new standby request coming in, or a shift that still needs cover. No more refreshing the app or scrolling back through messages to figure out where things stand. The Notification Center gives you a single source of truth for everything happening across your roster, so nothing slips through the cracks and no request goes unanswered simply because it got buried. For team leads especially, this turns coverage from a guessing game into something you can actually see and manage at a glance. Hold requests to review and act on later Not every request needs an answer the second it arrives and this update finally respects that. You can now hold any incoming swap or standby request in your Notifications or Requests area and come back to it when you're ready. This is a big quality-of-life change. Maybe you need to check the rest of the schedule before approving a swap, confirm someone's hours, or simply wait until you're off the floor to make a call. Instead of feeling pressured to respond immediately or risk forgetting entirely, you can park requests, review them together, and act on them deliberately. Everything you've held stays neatly in one place until you decide, so you keep full control over your roster without the mental load of tracking it all in your head. It's a calmer, more organized way to manage coverage react in the moment when you want to, or batch your decisions when that makes more sense. Time Card notes on swap and standby invites Context matters when you're asking someone to pick up a shift, and now that context travels with the invite. This update adds Time Card notes to swap and standby invites, so relevant details go out together with the request and the right people are notified. That means when you send an invite, the important information the notes tied to that shift or time card comes along for the ride, rather than living somewhere separate. Fewer follow-up questions, fewer misunderstandings about what a shift actually involves, and a smoother handoff every time coverage changes hands. It's a small addition that removes a surprising amount of back-and-forth. Bug fixes and performance improvements Alongside the new features, we've squashed bugs and tightened up performance across the app.

Shiftly is now free to download. Try every feature free for 30 days. After that, a single one-time purchase unlocks Shiftly Pro forever — no subscription, no recurring charges.

Arabic is no longer an afterthought. The entire app and widget now render right-to-left correctly, with Arabic-Indic numerals throughout instead of Western digits. Hijri dates have been corrected across every surface — the calendar, the widget, and the Lock Screen — including a timezone issue that could show the wrong Hijri day in the Gulf. Prayer times now display in your chosen language rather than defaulting to the device language. Your shift, at a glance The home screen widget has been rebuilt with a frosted glass finish and a tap-to-flip card that switches between Gregorian and Hijri views. Prayer times sync reliably now, and the widget respects the language you picked inside Shiftly. Live Activity and Dynamic Island Your active shift appears on the Lock Screen with a live progress ring and a countdown that updates on its own. The Dynamic Island shows the same at a glance in compact, minimal, and expanded states. Live Activities no longer appear on your off days, and they end cleanly when your shift finishes. Fixes and refinements Corrected shift colors in the Live Activity, leave days no longer show as OFF, and the progress ring now closes fully at shift end. Faster cold launch, more reliable prayer time loading, and a range of stability improvements throughout.
