Our mission
Make planning life around shift work effortless
Millions of people work rotating shifts: nurses, firefighters, police officers, factory and security workers. Planning life around an irregular schedule is hard enough without fighting spreadsheets or paywalled apps.
We started with one goal: a fast, free way to turn any rotation into a clear calendar you can export, print and share. That core will always be free. Everything we have added since, from pay insight to a saveable workspace, builds on it.
What you get
Everything you need to plan your shifts
Export anywhere
Send shifts to Google, Apple or Outlook calendars by ICS, download a clean PDF, print it, or share a link. Live calendar sync keeps it up to date.
Pay and overtime insight
Add your hourly rate to see estimated earnings, overtime hours and monthly pay right alongside your calendar.
Save, sync and access anywhere
Create a free account to save schedules, pick up where you left off on any device, and manage everything from a clean dashboard.
Works offline like an app
Install it to your home screen. The calendar opens fast and keeps working even without a connection.
Built for the world
A fully translated experience in English, German and Russian, with public holiday data for many countries baked in.
Free and fair

What we believe
What drives us
Simplicity first
Pick a pattern, set your dates, done. No manuals, no clutter, no learning curve.
Free where it counts
The core stays free and fully usable. Pro is a fair, optional extra, never a paywall on the basics.
Privacy by design
Your schedule lives in your browser by default. With an account, your data is yours to export or delete any time.
Built on real feedback
Almost every feature came from a request by a real shift worker. If it does not help you plan, we do not build it.
Good to know
About ShiftScheduleUp
Is it really free?
Yes. The shift calendar maker, exports and sharing are free with no signup. Pro is an optional one time unlock for power features.
Do I need an account?
No. You can generate and export schedules without one. An account just lets you save them, sync across devices, and use the dashboard.
Is my schedule data private?
Your schedule stays in your browser unless you save it to an account. We do not sell your data, and you can export or delete it whenever you want.
What does Pro add?
Pro removes the export watermark and unlocks extras like CSV and year poster exports, unlimited saved schedules, version history, statistics and team tools.
Do you keep adding features?
Constantly. The tool has grown from a simple generator into a full planning workspace, and we ship improvements based on what shift workers ask for.
Have questions or feedback?
We would love to hear from you. Whether it is a feature request, a bug, or just a hello, reach out any time.
