Shiftwheel
Rotation Calendar
Set your rotation once. See every hitch and day off for years.
Pick your rotation, tap the first day of your hitch, and Shiftwheel fills in every work day and day off — this month, next year, and as far ahead as you want to look. Built for people who work rotations: oilfield and offshore hitches, nurses, firefighters, police, miners and plant operators.
What it does
Set it up in seconds, not every month
Pick your rotation, tap the first day of your hitch, done. There is nothing to re-enter when the month turns over — the pattern carries forward on its own for years.
The rotations people actually work
7/7, 14/14, 14/7, 21/7 and 28/28. 2-2-3 (Pitman) and Panama. DuPont 12-hour. 4 on and 4 off. 24/48, 48/96 and Kelly. 5/2 weekdays. And if yours isn’t in the list, build it — any mix of work and off blocks, with day, night or swing shifts and your own start times.
Know where you stand at a glance
Open the app and it tells you plainly: “On hitch — day 5 of 14”, or “Off — 9 days until next hitch”. Below that, the next two weeks and exactly when your next stretch of days off begins.
A calendar you can read across the room
A big, colour-coded month grid, with colours you choose. Light and dark mode, and a week that starts on Sunday or Monday — whichever one matches how you already think about it.
Private by design
No account. No ads. No tracking. Your schedule is stored on your phone and goes nowhere unless you choose to share it — and when you do, you pick who gets it and how.

Common questions
Is my rotation in there?
Probably. 7/7, 14/14, 14/7, 21/7, 28/28, 2-2-3 (Pitman), Panama, DuPont 12-hour, 4 on and 4 off, 24/48, 48/96, Kelly and 5/2 weekdays are all built in. If yours isn’t, you can build it from any mix of work and off blocks — and if you think it should be in the list, say so and it probably will be.
Do I have to re-enter it every month?
No. That is the whole point. You set the rotation and the first day of a hitch once, and the calendar is filled in from there for as far ahead as you care to scroll.
Does it need an account or a signal?
Neither. There is no account and no sign-in, and the schedule lives on your phone, so it works the same offshore or underground as it does at home.
Can I keep my partner’s schedule in it too?
Yes, with Pro — unlimited schedules side by side. That is usually the reason people unlock it: seeing both rotations at once is what tells you which days you are actually both off.
What happens when I change phones?
Pro includes backup and restore to a file, so you can carry everything across yourself. Nothing is held on a server, which is also why moving it is something you do deliberately.
Set it once.
Then stop counting it out on your fingers.
