1Sketch your shifts
Days, times, roles, how many people you need — set the week's shape once and reuse it.
The week's rota,
built in a tap.
autorota turns your team's availability into a fair, editable schedule you can export and share. No accounts, no tracking, no fuss.
For iPhone and iPad · syncs through your own iCloud
How it works
Three steps, then it's Tuesday's problem no more.
2Collect availability
Everyone marks their hours yes, maybe, or no on a simple grid — a weekly pattern plus one-off exceptions.
3Generate the week
One tap places everyone fairly — available, qualified, inside their hour limits. Then edit freely.
Shifts & availability
Scheduling that actually fits your team.
Describe the week you need and the people you have. autorota handles the rest — including the odd week that looks nothing like the usual one.
- Recurring shifts with roles and flexible headcount — or wildcard shifts anyone can cover
- Hour-by-hour availability: yes, maybe, or no, with a reusable weekly pattern
- Date-specific exceptions for real life: edited times, extra cover, cancellations
- Weekly and daily hour limits, so nobody quietly ends up with 60 hours
Edit Log
Edit freely, with a safety net.
The Edit Log keeps a timeline of your rota's history. Experiment as much as you like; you can always get back.
- Every change saved automatically — no commit button to forget
- Expand any entry to see exactly what changed, and label versions worth keeping
- Restore any earlier state in a tap
Export & share
Share the schedule, not the spreadsheet.
Build the export your team actually reads — then send it anywhere.
- PDF layouts: full weekly grid, by role, or individual schedules
- Staff version, or a manager version that includes costs
- CSV and JSON for everything else, sent with the standard share sheet
Costs
Know what the week costs.
The rota is also a budget. autorota does that arithmetic while you build the week.
- Hourly wages per person — in each person's own currency if your team is mixed
- Weekly hours and labour costs, with charts to spot trends
- See the cost before you publish the schedule, not after payday

No accounts. No tracking.
Nothing collected.
On your device
Your schedule lives in a local database on your iPhone or iPad. It is never sent to us — there is no server of ours to send it to.
Your own iCloud
Optional sync moves data between your devices through your private iCloud account. Protected by Apple; invisible to us.
One anonymous request
The only network call is an optional currency-rate lookup, carrying no personal data at all. That's the entire list.
If your week runs on shifts and you're the one juggling them, autorota is for you.
