Shiftaan vs the Notes app

An honest comparison for shift workers who want to know what they've worked and what they're owed.

Why people use the Notes app

Most shift workers start by typing shifts into their phone's Notes app. It's quick and always with you, which is exactly why it's so popular.

Where the Notes app falls short for shift work

  • Notes can't add up hours or pay, so you do the maths yourself every time.
  • Breaks, rates and sites end up written differently every time, which makes checking a payslip slow.
  • There's no way to mark a shift as paid, part-paid or overdue.
  • When a pay dispute comes up, a messy note is a weak record.

What Shiftaan does differently

  • Log a shift in under 30 seconds on your phone: company, site, start, finish, break and rate.
  • Hours and expected pay are calculated for you, including overnight shifts.
  • Every company and site keeps its own rates.
  • Mark each shift as paid, awaiting, part-paid, overdue or disputed, and see what each company still owes you.
  • Free for up to 3 companies, with unlimited shifts.

When the Notes app is fine

  • You work one fixed job with the same hours every week.
  • You only need a reminder of when your next shift is.
