Combat shift work disruption with personalized advice based on the latest circadian science.
This groundbreaking app empowers shift workers to optimize their sleep, performance, health, and quality of life with science-based guidance developed by world-renowned circadian scientists.
Fast Company: “Congratulations Timeshifter on helping to change the world.”
Timeshifter — Shift Work Edition — was developed to help shift workers reduce the underlying problem of circadian and sleep disruption inherent in shift work. With Timeshifter, you will receive highly personalized advice based on your sleep pattern, chronotype, work schedule, and personal preferences.
SHIFT WORK MYTHS VS. CIRCADIAN SCIENCE
Shift workers face a serious biological challenge: misalignment between their internal circadian rhythms and their work schedules. This circadian disruption leads to insomnia, excessive sleepiness, poor performance, and increased long-term health risks.
Popular advice — like drinking more coffee, using supplements, or simply “getting more rest” — misses the mark. These approaches don’t address the root cause: your circadian misalignment.
It’s time to replace the myths with real science.
Generic tips won’t solve circadian disruption. Only evidence-based interventions that "reset" your circadian rhythms and manage circadian timing can effectively reduce the negative effects of shift work.
THE REAL SCIENCE OF SHIFT WORK
// In your brain, a circadian clock regulates the rhythm of your day.
// Shift work causes your sleep and other behaviors to occur at biologically inappropriate times, resulting in fatigue, poor sleep, and long-term health risks.
// Light is the most powerful cue for resetting your circadian clock. The correct timing of light exposure and light avoidance is the foundation of any circadian intervention to improve alertness and sleep quality. If your timing is off, it can make things worse.

Been using for over a year. My work schedule includes multiple shift changes per week and prior to using this app I was never getting the sleep I needed. For many years I was constantly drinking caffeine to stay awake, melatonin to fall asleep. I was never able to maintain a schedule outside of work because I never knew when I was going to be too tired. This app makes it super easy to make changing sleep schedules manageable. I only give it 4 stars because it does not include a good time to exercise.

After you start using this, you won’t go without it. It’s like trying to wake up with an alarm clock, go somewhere without a gps or directions, cook without a recipe. It honestly relieves a lot of stress as you are able to defer / trust something like this and not “have to think about it”. Like anything in life I don’t follow it if I don’t want to, but it’s always helpful to know the guidelines and how far off I am. If this synced up to Apple Watch Fitbit etc and gave me a score for how well I was doing that would be awesome and gamify it
Working well

I have been using this app for a number of months now. Initially, you could only put in a few shifts at a time. Now, I can put in a whole month’s schedule without problems. It works similarly to the jet lag app. The interface is the same. I has really helped me plan my sleep and adjustments to the changing shifts that I work throughout the month. I think that I am better rested and more alert during my shifts. I wish this was something that I had when I first started my career.
actually works

I have different shifts and didn’t want to keep my night schedule on my off days. I was surprised this actually made a difference. Wasn’t expecting it to work as well as it did, pleasantly surprised!!
