A few things you might be wondering.
Clear answers before you get started.
Ask us something elseWhat is RotaFlow?
RotaFlow is a shift calendar and rota planner for iPhone and iPad, with Apple Watch, widgets and Siri support. Build a repeating Day, Night and Off pattern, then add the changes that happen in real life.
Does it work with my shift pattern?
Use a preset such as 4 on / 4 off, or build your own Day, Night and Off rotation. Align the first day with a known date in your actual rota. Workplaces use different versions of named patterns, so check the sequence rather than the name alone.
Is RotaFlow free?
Yes. The app is free to download and includes core rota planning. RotaFlow Pro unlocks extended planning, advanced insights, more widgets and other premium tools. Monthly, yearly and lifetime options are available through the App Store.
Do I need to create an account?
No RotaFlow registration is needed for core planning. Your rota is local-first. Optional iCloud sync and shared Trade Board groups use Apple services and need the relevant iCloud setup.
Can I use it without adding shift times?
Yes. Day, Night and Off remain the foundation. Working times, unpaid breaks and pay settings are optional additions, not a requirement to use the calendar.
Will an exported calendar stay up to date?
An exported .ics file is a snapshot, not a live two-way subscription. RotaFlow also has a separate Pro managed-calendar feature. Review the calendar guide so you choose the right workflow.
