Explain it naturally
Write who is available, who cannot work nights, how many people each shift needs, and what should be kept fair.
Private beta in development
Describe your employees, shifts, and constraints the way you would explain them to a colleague. Shift in 5 will create one master schedule and a personal schedule for every employee.
Built for the person making the rota
Shift in 5 is designed for supervisors who need a usable schedule now—not another platform to configure.
Write who is available, who cannot work nights, how many people each shift needs, and what should be kept fair.
Review the people, dates, hard constraints, and preferences the system understood before any schedule is created.
If the staffing requirements cannot be satisfied, the product explains the conflict instead of inventing a broken roster.
Download the master rota and a separate image for every employee, ready to share in the communication tool you already use.
Designed around the final handoff
The manager sees the full week. Each employee receives only the shifts that matter to them. No app installation and no new employee workflow.
Frequently asked

No. The planned output includes an overall staff schedule and individual schedule images that a manager can share directly.
The validator identifies the staffing conflict and explains which requirement needs to change rather than returning an invalid schedule.
The product is being designed to minimize retention. Staff names and schedules will not be kept as a permanent employee database.
