From an empty week to a useful plan
1. Add your people. Enter employee names and job roles. Use only the details you need to make the schedule useful.
2. Build coverage. Add shifts from Monday through Sunday, including split shifts and overnight work. Enter unpaid breaks separately so planned paid hours stay clear.
3. Review and share. Check overlap warnings, review daily totals, then export CSV or print a PDF. Download a JSON backup so you can restore your work later.

The scheduler stores your team and shifts in your browser, not in an online account. Browser data can be cleared or lost, so save a backup regularly. This tool calculates planned wall-clock hours; it does not calculate payroll, overtime rules, or legal compliance.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to register? No. Start with your own team or try the clearly labeled fictional demo.
Can I plan overnight work? Yes. When the end time is earlier than the start, the shift ends the next day. Its hours belong to the day it starts.
How do I save a PDF? Use Print / PDF in the editor and choose Save as PDF in a browser that supports it.
Can I move a schedule to another device? Download a JSON backup, move that file securely, and restore it in the scheduler on the other device. Automatic synchronization is not included.
