Whether you plan ina spreadsheet, a group chat or another app, switching is fast. Bring your team and your usual week with you, and everyone has their shifts on their phone right away.

Plan.

A whole week from one template.

Start from your standard week, fill the gaps with shift templates, and watch each person's hours count up against their contract as you go.

Day, week and month view
From one busy Saturday to the whole month.
Recurring shifts
The Thursday kitchen shift, planned once until you end it.
Breaks and time between shifts
A warning before you publish a shift that is too long or too close to the last one.

Publish.

One tap, and the week is out.

Each person gets their own week in the app, with their shifts and their hours. They get a notification when it’s out, and again if one of their shifts moves.

Push notifications
When the week is out, and when one of your shifts moves.
Announcements
A note to one location or everyone, with read receipts.

Swap.

Your team trades. You tap approve.

An employee offers Saturday’s shift, a colleague accepts, and you approve in the app. Both their weeks update without a single phone call.

Change requests
A later start or a day off, asked and answered in the app.
Change log
Who changed what, and when.

Rest.

See who’s off while you plan.

Vacation, sick days and public holidays sit in the same calendar as the shifts, so you see them before you fill the week. Each person’s vacation account keeps its own count.

Absence types
Vacation, sick, training, unpaid, or your own.
Notes and attachments
The sick note stays with the absence.

Works with the AIyou already use.

Your AI drafts. You publish.

Tell Claude or ChatGPT that Anna is off Monday to Thursday and ask for Christmas week. It builds the week from your templates and each person’s contract hours, and leaves it in the draft for you.

  1. Plan the week of Dec 21 from our standard week. Anna is on vacation Monday to Thursday.
  2. I'll start from your standard week and plan around Anna's vacation.
  3. shiftbob · apply_week_template → 23 draft shifts · Dec 25 and 26 skipped
  4. shiftbob · list_absences → Anna Schmidt · vacation · Dec 21–24
  5. shiftbob · assign_shifts → 4 shift lead shifts → Lena 2, David 2
  6. 23 shifts are in the draft. Christmas Day and Boxing Day are public holidays in Berlin, so they stay empty. David ends up 2 hours over his contract, so I flagged his Thursday.
DraftNot published

Week 52 · Dec 21 – 27

23 shifts from your standard week. Anna's four shift lead shifts went to Lena and David.

  • Half the regular price, for as long as your team uses ShiftBob. Core is €0.25 instead of €0.50 per employee per month, and Plus is €1 instead of €2. It's open to teams that sign up before launch.

  • Because you’re signing up before you can sign in. Half price for as long as you stay is the thank-you.

  • On launch day. We email you the date as soon as it’s set. You can sign in that day, with your founding price already on the account. Switching is fast: bring your team and your usual week with you.

  • No. They arrange it, you approve it. An employee offers the shift in the app, a colleague accepts, and the swap goes through when a manager says yes.

  • Yes. ShiftBob has an MCP server, so Claude, ChatGPT and other AI assistants can read your schedule and build shifts. Everything they change goes into the draft, and a person publishes it. On both plans.

  • Each employee gets the ShiftBob app for iPhone or Android, free. It shows their own shifts, swap offers and vacation days. It also runs in any browser.

  • Core plans one location and puts the schedule on every phone. Plus adds swaps, vacation, templates, notifications and as many locations as you run. You can switch plans any month.

  • In Frankfurt, Germany. Every customer gets a data processing agreement.
