How the shift schedule maker works
A shift schedule maker turns a list of names into a full working rota. You choose how your team rotates, and the maker fills in every day shift, night shift, and day off so no slot is left empty.
The tool above supports the patterns most teams actually use, including a weekly shift schedule maker for fixed hours, a 12-hour shift schedule maker for day and night coverage, and a rotating shift schedule maker for 24/7 operations.
Shift Schedule Generator: Instant Results
When you only want a result and not the setup, use it as a shift schedule generator: the default team is already loaded, so one click shows you a complete schedule you can adjust. Every schedule can be printed as a weekly PDF or exported as a PNG or CSV.
