Post a shift you can't cover. Coworkers claim it from the open-shift board. Manager approves with one tap. Built for restaurants, cafes, retail, and any small team where shifts change.
No more group texts. No more last-minute calls. No more shifts going uncovered because nobody saw the message in time.
— The CoverShift pitch, in one breath
The Available Shifts board
Every shift posted for coverage lands on one board, sorted by date. Coworkers tap to claim. CoverShift checks overtime, schedule overlap, and role eligibility before the claim — not after, when a manager has to undo it.
Everything else
Scheduling, swaps, clock-in, time-off, weekly timesheets, push, offline. Built for the manager and the line.
Tap any shift on your card, "Post for Coverage," add an optional reason. Your manager and the entire team get a push instantly. The reason carries through to the approval screen so the manager isn't asking "wait, why?" before they approve.
See your week at a glance. Swipe between weeks, tap any shift for details, mark a shift for coverage right from the card.
On-duty count, pending requests, time-off queue, today's schedule — everything in one screen. Pull-to-refresh re-syncs from the server.
No passwords to manage. Apple verifies you. We never see a password.
Overtime, schedule overlap, role mismatch — all flagged before anyone claims or approves.
Every change saves locally. Syncs the moment you reconnect. No spinners, no lost taps.
Morning Barista, Closing Cashier, Weekend Lead. Generate a full week of shifts in one action.
Block off-site clock-ins automatically. No more clocking in from the parking lot down the street.
Set hourly rates per employee. See weekly labor dollars next to scheduled hours, with variance pills.
Two roles, one app
Managers see the team. Employees see their week. Permissions are enforced server-side — no employee can ever see another business's data.
Your week, the open shifts you're eligible for, your assigned roles, and your clock-in card — all on one screen.
Dashboard up top, schedule in the middle, team at the bottom. The whole operation in your pocket.
Pricing
Real shift coverage, clock-in, and weekly timesheets are always free, up to 10 employees. Pro unlocks unlimited team size and the operational features that pay for themselves.
