Your work, at a glance

Make your rota easy to see.

Set a shift cycle once, choose when it starts, and see it repeat in your calendar. Your plan is saved on this device.

Set up your rotation

Your repeating pattern

First day of this pattern The shift you choose for cycle day 1 starts on this date.
Cycle days

Choose a shift or rest day for each day in your rotation. The sequence repeats continuously, including across the end of the year.

    Optional shift times

    Choose the usual start and finish for each shift type. Leave both unset if you only want to see the shift label. A finish time earlier than the start is treated as the following day.

    Customise shifts

    Rename shifts, pick a colour for each, remove the ones you don't use, or add your own. Removing a built-in shift hides it from these lists but keeps it in your pattern and calendar; use the buttons below to add it back. Changes are saved on this device straight away.

      Extra dates

      Choose a shift type and add it to an individual date. It replaces the repeating shift's label, time and color on that calendar day; your repeating pattern remains unchanged.

        Saved on this device

        Reset restores the example 2 days, 2 nights, 4 off pattern and clears its calendar colors. Saving the pattern again will show its rota colors.

        Work out when cover is needed

        Childcare check

        Overlay 1 is your partner's working days and overlay 2 is the days your child is at nursery. A day is flagged when you are working, your partner is working, and nursery is not on, so one of you needs to be off. Your own shifts come from the repeating pattern above.

        Plan around school breaks

        Show your children's school holidays on the calendar. Days you work during a holiday are flagged for cover. Dates come from the School holidays page.

        About the free shift planner

        Dayzuntil's shift planner turns a repeating rota into a clear monthly calendar. Build a cycle such as earlies, lates, nights and rest days, or pick fixed weekdays, then see every working day at a glance.

        Plan family schedules and childcare

        Add a partner's working days and your child's nursery or school days as overlays. The planner flags days when you are working, your partner is busy and the child is not in nursery, so you know when to arrange childcare or book leave.

        Private by design

        Your shifts, overlays and extra dates are saved only in this browser. Nothing is uploaded, and there is no account to create.

        Shift pattern guides

        Shift planner questions

        How do I make a shift pattern calendar?

        Choose a rotating cycle or the same days every week, pick the first day of the pattern, set what you work on each cycle day, then save. The planner shows every shift and rest day on a monthly calendar.

        Can I plan a 4 on 4 off or 2-2-3 pattern?

        Yes. Both are rotating cycles of different lengths, an eight-day cycle for 4 on 4 off and a 14-day cycle for 2-2-3. The guides explain how to set each one up.

        How does the childcare check work?

        It adds overlays for a partner's working days and your child's nursery or school days, then flags the days when you are working and cover may be needed.

        Is my rota saved online?

        No. Your shifts and overlays are saved only in your browser on this device, and nothing is uploaded. There is no account and no sign-up.
