What this does

Choose a rotation pattern and the date your crew starts it. You get a full year laid out month by month, colour-coded for days, nights and time off. Print it for the fridge, or download an .ics file and every shift lands in your phone calendar.

It runs entirely in your browser. Nothing is uploaded, nothing is stored, and there's no account to make.

Common questions

Which pattern am I on?

If you work 12-hour shifts with every other weekend off, it's almost certainly Pitman or Panama (2-2-3). If you get a full week off every four weeks, that's DuPont. If you rotate days, swings and nights in one cycle, that's Southern Swing. Fire crews are usually 24/48 or 48/96.

What does “cycle start date” mean?

The first day your crew works at the start of the rotation. Not sure? Pick any day you know you were on shift and nudge it until the calendar matches a month you remember.

Is it free?

Yes, and there's nothing to sign up for.
