Master Your Shift Rotations Across Every Job
Tired of messy paper rotas and manual spreadsheets? Shiftona is the deterministic, privacy-first scheduling platform built for healthcare staff, first responders, plant technicians, and multi-job shift workers.
Built From the Ground Up for Shift Workers
Standard calendars assume a 9-to-5 life. Shiftona was built specifically for the realities of rotating shifts, overnight turnarounds, and multiple simultaneous employers.
Deterministic Cyclic Rotations
Configure standard rotations (2/2, 3/3, 24/72, 4-day Day/Night/Off/Off) or construct custom multi-week patterns. Pick an anchor date and Shiftona generates your exact roster indefinitely into the future.
Multi-Job Combined Calendar
Working at a clinic while doing on-call ambulance shifts? Set up independent schedules with distinct colors, hours, and cycles, then view them together on a unified monthly timeline.
Overlap & Rest Gap Warnings
Avoid scheduling disasters. Shiftona automatically detects conflicting shifts between different jobs and warns you when turnaround time drops below critical safety thresholds.
Flawless Overnight Shifts
Shifts that cross midnight or run for 24 hours are displayed correctly without disappearing into the next day or confusing your family. Dates, nominal wall-clock times, and DST shifts are handled seamlessly.
Universal Export Suite
Generate crisp printable PDFs for the fridge, RFC 5545 `.ics` files for Google Calendar or Apple Calendar, high-resolution PNG image cards for messaging, or clean UTF-8 plain text rotas.
100% Local-First Privacy
Your shifts, employer names, and rotas belong to you. In our free web tool, everything runs in your browser. We never monetize, track, or sell your personal schedule data.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about the web tool and upcoming releases.
Is the Shift Calendar Generator really free?
Yes. The web-based Shift Calendar Generator is 100% free with no account creation, no paywall, and no subscription required. You can generate schedules, inspect conflicts, and export files as often as you like.
Do my shift details get uploaded to your servers?
No. The web generator operates completely client-side in your web browser. All dates, employer names, and rotation calculations stay in your local browser memory.
Can I import my generated schedule into Google Calendar or Apple Calendar?
Yes! You can export your schedule as an RFC 5545 compliant `.ics` file. Simply download the `.ics` file and import it directly into Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, Outlook, or any standard calendar app.
How does Shiftona handle 24-hour and overnight shifts?
Unlike conventional calendar apps that truncate or duplicate night shifts, Shiftona calculates both nominal wall-clock times and duration minutes. Overnight shifts are marked with their start date and clear continuation flags onto the morning of the next day.
