A shift calendar for iPhone, with sleep and pay.Pick up Thursday?
It pays $336, and your next day off moves to Tuesday. TurnoRest puts your rotation and your sleep on the calendar for free, and with Pro it shows what every shift pays.
On a Pitman 2-2-3, the week of September 13 is 44 h and $1,379. With Thursday, 52 h and $1,715.
Draw your rotation once
Pick your pattern and the day your cycle started. Every shift after that is already on the calendar, months ahead.
Then add the changes as they come, like overtime, a canceled shift, or a swap like the 18th, where the night became an 8‑hour morning. Each change is kept on its own day, and the pattern underneath stays as it was.

Each one has its 2026 and 2027 calendar, day by day, on the schedules page, and you can start it on your own day 1.
One night, start to finish
Take Monday, September 14, the first of two nights on that Pitman rotation and day 15 of its 28. Here is what TurnoRest tells you before the shift, during it, the morning after, and on payday.
Why the plan starts with a nap
It’s Monday afternoon, a few hours before the first night. TurnoRest has put a nap in your plan and tells you why. It softens the dip in alertness between 3 and 5 AM. Tap the tip to see the study behind it, with a link to the source.
You can lay out your own run of nights the same way in the sleep planner.

Can you take Thursday morning too?
The message comes in at 2:10 AM, 7 hours into the shift with 4 h 50 min still to go. Before you answer, open What if…, one of the Pro tools, and add the shift, 8 hours from 7:00 AM on Thursday the 17th, which was a day off.
+$336
$224 for the 8 hours at $28, +$112 overtime. The app starts on the rule it calls “Against the schedule, per day,” and under that rule a shift picked up on a day off is overtime in full.
It also moves your next day off, from Thursday the 17th to Tuesday the 22nd. Monday the 21st doesn’t count, because you come off Sunday’s night at 7 AM that morning. If you’re paid over 40 hours a week instead, pick that rule in Settings and the difference is worked out on the regular rate.
The Lock Screen shows when to sleep
At 7:02 you’re still at work, and you don’t have to open the app half asleep. The Lock Screen widget shows tonight’s shift and the window TurnoRest planned around it, 7:30 AM–3 PM, and a reminder comes 30 minutes before it opens.
The window starts when you get home, which is the end of the shift plus the commute you set (30 minutes here). If two shifts leave too little time to sleep, it tells you so, and shows the source.

ProThe period close, then Pay periods in Settings
Was your paycheck right?
Payday is Saturday, September 26. With Pro, you type in the gross from your pay stub and TurnoRest checks it against its own count for the same period, Sun, Sep 13 – Sat, Sep 26, line by line. If there’s a gap, it names the line that explains it.
Gross on your pay stub
$2,287.60
TurnoRest’s count
$2,514.40
Difference
−$226.80
These are gross figures at $28 an hour, with nights +15% and weekends +10%, on the app’s default overtime rule, “Against the schedule, per day.”
The app ends each pay period on payday. If your check comes a few days after the period closes, enter the period’s last day as payday, and the check covers the same days as your stub.
Paid over 40 hours a week? The pay calculator counts it that way, and shows where the two rules part.
What you can check for yourself
TurnoRest is new, so there are no reviews to quote yet. What we can do is show where everything it tells you comes from, so you can check it.
Every sleep tip names its source
NIOSH, the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, the BMJ and more, one tap away in the app. Where a threshold is TurnoRest’s own rule of thumb rather than a study’s, the app labels it that way.
All of them are listed, with what each one backs, at the bottom of the sleep planner.
It says when a limit isn’t law
For most US workers there is no federal limit on hours. When the app warns about rest between shifts, it names the study the limit comes from and says that US law doesn’t set one.
There’s no account and there are no ads, and nothing tracks you across apps. Your shifts live on your iPhone and in your own iCloud. Purchases, with an anonymous ID, go to the subscription service the app uses. Apple Health is read-only, and off until you turn it on.
The privacy policy lists everything that leaves the phone.
What’s free and what’s Pro
The schedule, the sleep and this week’s pay are free, with no time limit, so you can check the math before you pay for more. Pro adds pay line by line, the pay stub check and What if.
$34.99a year for Pro, which works out to $2.92 a month
Or $5.99 a month, or $79.99 once and it’s yours for good. These are US prices; the App Store shows yours before you buy.
Start with the free version and buy Pro from inside the app if you want it. Subscriptions renew until you cancel them in iOS Settings.

Questions
Will it do my rotation?
It comes with DuPont, Pitman 2-2-3, 4 on 4 off, Metropolitan 2-2-2, Continental 2-2-3, Panama, Kelly 24/48 and fixed days, Monday to Friday. If yours isn’t there, draw it once, day by day, and TurnoRest repeats it. Fixed nights, like four 10-hour nights a week, go in the same way.
I self-schedule, and my shifts change every schedule. Does it work?
Yes, with one setting to change. Draw a one-week pattern with no shifts in it, then add each shift as your schedule is posted: tap the day, pick the type, the start and the length. Then set overtime to Over 40 h a week in the pay settings: under the app’s default per-day rule, a shift added to a day off counts as overtime in full. There is no import from work, so each shift is typed in once.
How does it work out my pay?
From the hourly rate and the differentials you enter for nights and weekends; they start at zero. For overtime you pick the rule you’re paid on: the hours beyond your schedule each day, the app’s default; over 40 in the workweek, the federal FLSA rule; or the 28-day rules for fire and police. Under the 40-hour, fire and police rules, overtime is paid on the regular rate, differentials included. If your hospital uses 8/80, or your state counts overtime by the day, the overtime figure will differ from your stub. Every figure is gross, before taxes and deductions.
Is there a free trial?
On the yearly plan, yes: 14 days free, then $34.99 a year, renewing until you cancel. Apple offers the trial once per Apple Account, so if you have subscribed to Pro before, yearly or monthly, it isn’t offered again. Cancel in iPhone Settings at least 24 hours before the trial ends and you aren’t charged. The monthly plan and the lifetime purchase have no trial. The free version has no time limit, and it already shows this week’s pay, so you can compare it with your own numbers before paying for anything. The prices on this page are US prices; the App Store shows yours, in your currency, before you buy.
Why can’t I find it in the App Store?
TurnoRest isn’t sold in the European Union or Brazil. Everywhere else, search for TurnoRest or use the link on this page.
Cancelling, moving to a new phone, Android and everything else are on the support page.
The next night is on your Home Screen.
It’s free and there’s no account. Draw your rotation once, and TurnoRest works out what each shift pays and when to sleep around it.
