What it does

Everything the rota touches

Not another calendar app — RotaCell was built around what actually goes wrong when you work irregular hours.

Calendar

See the whole month before it sees you coming

Every early, late, and night shift laid out by week, color-coded, with hours totalled automatically. Working two jobs? RotaCell flags the exact days they clash.

  • Custom patterns — 4-on-4-off, rolling cycles, or your own
  • Automatic conflict detection across multiple jobs
  • Monthly and weekly hour totals, no spreadsheet

Today

Know when to leave, know when you're off

One screen answers the three things you actually check your phone for: what's today, when do I need to walk out the door, and how much longer until my next day off.

  • Live-traffic "leave by" time for any saved address
  • Shift countdowns that carry onto your Lock Screen
  • A quiet nudge when your next day off finally arrives

Two jobs, one rota

Juggling two jobs? We've got you.

RotaCell tracks every job separately — different rates, different colours, different rules — and tells you when to actually sleep in between them.

  • Unlimited jobs, each with its own pay rate and premiums
  • A recommended sleep window between back-to-back shifts
  • Earnings running total for the week, updated live

In and out

Your rota, however you need it out

Snap a photo of a printed roster and RotaCell reads the shift codes straight in. Need it out again? Text it to a partner, print it for the fridge, or export it to any calendar app.

  • On-device photo & camera scanning of printed rosters
  • Import from a spreadsheet or your phone's calendar
  • Text My Rota, Print Planner PDF, or an .ics export
And the rest

The details other rota apps skip

Scan a printed rota

Point your camera at a noticeboard or a printed sheet — shift codes land in your calendar without a single tap of typing.

Pay & tax, in plain English

Projected pay, overtime premiums, and a tax estimate that updates as your rota changes — before payday surprises you.

Fatigue, flagged automatically

RotaCell watches for short-rest stretches across your week and tells you, quietly, before it becomes a problem.

Annual leave & TOIL, tracked properly

A running balance of days left, overtime owed back to you, and every booked holiday — no spreadsheet required.

Now on your wrist too

Check today's shift and this week's pattern on Apple Watch, without pulling your phone out mid-shift.

Speaks your currency

Local currency symbols, mi/km, and a rota that reads naturally in your own language, wherever your shifts are.

Getting started

Set up once, forget about it

01

Add your pattern

Early/late/night, 4-on-4-off, a custom cycle, or scan an existing rota — pick what matches how you actually work.

02

Get the alerts that matter

Leave-by times, rest countdowns, and a fatigue check run quietly in the background — no digging through settings.

03

Adjust as shifts change

Swap a shift, add overtime, log tips, or mark leave in a couple of taps — your pay and hours recalculate instantly.

Privacy

Your rota is yours

No accounts, no login, no advertising or analytics SDKs. Your shifts, pay, and notes stay on your device — and in your own iCloud, only if you turn backup on.

Questions

Before you ask

Do I need to make an account?+

No. RotaCell has no login and no account — everything is set up and stored on your own device from the first launch.

Does it work with more than one job?+

Yes — add as many jobs as you like, each with its own colour, pay rate, and premiums. RotaCell flags any day where two jobs overlap.

Does the tax estimate work outside the UK?+

RotaCell supports multiple countries' tax reference data and currencies, with more being added — the estimate is always a plain-English guide, not formal tax advice.

What happens to my data if I don't have internet?+

Nothing changes — RotaCell is offline-first. Your rota, pay, and leave all work with no connection at all; only a couple of optional lookups (like public holidays) need one.

Do I need an Apple Watch?+

No — the Watch app is a bonus for checking today's shift at a glance. Everything works fully on iPhone alone.

When is it landing on the App Store?+

Soon — RotaCell is in final submission prep. Check back here or follow along for the release.
