For people who work shifts
Who said shift apps need to be boring?
RotaCell keeps every shift, every pound and every hour of rest in one place. Nurses, carers, drivers, chefs, security, anyone whose week doesn't fit nine to five. It's bold, it's quick, and it actually looks after you.

Rota changed? Two taps.

A little brain that has your back.
It spots a heavy stretch, a short rest before tomorrow, or a clash with a reminder, and tells you before it hurts. RotaRest reads your Apple Health sleep so the advice fits your real week.

Your rota, shared with the people who matter.
A partner, the other parent, a friend, someone you work with. Invite them with a link, a QR code or iCloud, and they see your shifts. It stays up to date by itself.
- See both rotas, side by side. The days you're both off, and who's free for the school run.
- Always your choice. Invite-only. Nobody can find you or add you, and you stop sharing any time.
- The little brain tells you. "Sam shared their rota with you!" The moment it happens.
