Build a clearer view of continental shift calendar

The aim of Continental Shift Calendar is simple: make the next working dates easier to see. It helps you generate months of working and rest days from one starting date.

You remain free to edit the named cycle, shift times and your current position in the rotation rather than being locked into the first version of the rota.

Designed for the individual worker. Pattern names can vary, so use the dates and times supplied to you.

Yes. Enter the repeating work-and-rest sequence that matches your continental rota and use the correct starting point to place the cycle across future dates.

Can I add notes to a shift?

Yes. Notes can be kept with a shift so useful personal details remain beside the date and time.

Does continental shift calendar manage other people?

No. Vanta Shift is a personal shift planner for the individual using the app.
