The answer in brief

RotaFlow brings schedule context to iPhone widgets, Apple Watch and supported reminders. Free includes a small Home Screen widget and weekly overtime summaries; Pro adds larger and Lock Screen widgets, complications and deeper summaries.

Checking a shift should not mean navigating a full planner every time. A glanceable surface helps with the next immediate question, while the app keeps the detailed rota and work records together. Choose the surfaces that fit your day instead of turning on every possible reminder.

Choose the right widget

The small Home Screen widget is available to everyone. Pro unlocks medium and large families and Lock Screen widgets, with different amounts of calendar context. Add widgets through the standard controls on your device.

A widget is a view of the supported schedule snapshot, not a separate rota editor. After changing a profile or a shift, allow the system to refresh and compare with the main app when timing matters.

Take the next shift to your Watch

The Apple Watch app shows supported schedule information on your wrist. Pro complication content adds glanceable access from compatible watch faces. The supported snapshot follows the active schedule profile.

Watch communication and background refresh are subject to device and operating-system behavior. Avoid treating a stale complication as more authoritative than a recently changed rota in the app.

Keep reminders helpful, not noisy

RotaFlow offers supported shift-change, special-day and other rota reminders, with a preview of upcoming reminders in Settings. Shift-related options include pre-shift, night wind-down and post-night recovery context.

Free uses fixed or hour-based controls depending on the reminder type. Pro enables 15-minute precision. Notification permissions, Focus settings and device behavior can affect delivery; a shift reminder is not a guaranteed alarm or a safety system.

Record overtime on the right date

Log extra hours with the relevant rate and currency, and correct an entry when the record changes. The overtime model keeps one entry per day, so review an existing record rather than creating an accidental duplicate.

Weekly overtime summaries are available free. Pro adds month and year summaries and Siri overtime logging. Use those totals to understand your own records, not as proof of an employer’s final payroll calculation.
