Unlock everything Rota Calendar offers — including cloud sync, now included in every subscription.
Does working shifts make planning your personal life difficult? Rota Calendar helps shift workers scroll through shifts, see schedules years ahead, and plan life around work with confidence.
Standard digital calendars make it hard to understand long-term shift patterns. Rota Calendar is built specifically for shift work, making it easy to see when you’re working, resting, or free — even years in advance.
Enter the date of your next shift and your rotation is calculated instantly, generating your shift schedule up to five years ahead. From there, scroll smoothly through time to plan vacations, social events, family commitments, and important dates without guesswork.
Designed for Real Shift Work
Rota Calendar supports both repeating and irregular shift patterns. You can manually add, edit, or adjust individual shifts at any time, making it ideal for complex or changing schedules.
Customize shifts with your own colors, labels, times, and emojis so different shift types are easy to recognize at a glance. Individual shifts can be edited once they are on the calendar, giving you full control over your schedule.
Continuous Scroll Calendar
Instead of rigid month-by-month views, Rota Calendar uses a continuous, unbroken scrolling calendar. This makes it easy to see how shifts flow across weeks and months, including where schedules overlap month boundaries.
Long-term work patterns become clear and easy to understand at a glance.
Sync and Compare With Your Calendar
Rota Calendar syncs with calendars already on your device, including iOS, Google, and Facebook calendars. View your work shifts alongside personal events in one place, and add or edit these events directly within Rota Calendar to avoid conflicts.
Share Your Schedule (iOS)
Use AirDrop to instantly share your shift schedules with nearby iOS devices — perfect for partners or family members who need to know when you’re working or free.
Simple, Clear, and Built for Individuals
Rota Calendar is designed for individuals, not companies or teams. There are no accounts to create and no unnecessary features — just a clean, easy-to-use layout designed to make shift planning simple.
Trusted by thousands of shift workers, Rota Calendar is used daily by people working rotating schedules, offshore roles, oil and gas, emergency services, and other non-standard work patterns.
If you need a powerful yet easy-to-use shift planner that lets you scroll through years of schedules and take control of your time, Rota Calendar is built for you.
Excellent - 5 Star
Best app I’ve used. Extremely easy to add rota and use. Would, and have, recommended to anyone that needs a rota app.
The best app I’ve got! 5 Star
Of the dozens of apps I’ve got this is the best. Use it constantly and was easy to set up. I’ve moved on to a different rota but can still see my old one which is really useful. Always get a reply when I send a query and comments are taken on board.
Best app out for rota - 5 Star
As I work in the oil rigs 2 weeks on 2 weeks off this app was perfect for working out my rota in seconds! And worth every penny!

This app does what I can't in that it keeps up with when I'm supposed to work and when to be off and wether the next rotation is days or nights. I have it tied to my outlook calendar and it tracks my upcoming appointments for doctors, dentist and other life events. It is very convenient to have with you and be able to pull up your future work schedule months in advance when making the next doctor or dentist appointment and double scheduling it on a workday and then having to reschedule later. Well worth the small cost.
STILL LOVE IT!! So easy to use!

Still is one of my favorite apps! Works so well for my husband's schedule, and helps me plan our lives! I will also say AGAIN...The developer of this app is a genius! So kind to help me since I had no idea what I was doing!! Thanks again Jamie!
Not as customizable as I expected
Jer_rah_me
The positive thing about this app is that it is super easy to set up your work schedule and that’s about it.You should be able to have the option to view months separately. Also there’s no holidays on the calendar. There should be an option to highlight holidays with name and not have to input them in manually. I know you can sync but what’s the point in paying for an app and then using another free one for missing information the paid one is lacking.I expected more for a paid calendar app. Some of the free ones I’ve downloaded has 5x as much customization.
Great App!

I’ve used this app for years! It’s worked wonderfully! The customer service is awesome. Had a glitch with the recent update and they were quick in helping to get it resolved.
Fixes an update issue seen by some customers. If you are having issues seeing your shifts following the recent update then please retry the migration via the in app settings cog icon -> About Rota Calendar -> Re-import.
This is a big update.
Rota Calendar has been rebuilt on a new cross-platform foundation, making it faster to improve, easier to expand, and ready for new features across more platforms going forward.
I’ve worked hard to keep everything feeling familiar, but if you notice anything not quite right, please get in touch — I read every message and genuinely appreciate the feedback.
Rota Calendar Cloud sync is now available as part of the Supporter subscription. If you rely on Rota Calendar, subscribing is the best way to unlock this feature and support continued development — it helps me keep pushing the app forward and building what comes next.
Thanks for using Rota Calendar.
