Who it’s for and how it works
This tool is for operations managers, HR, and team leads who need fair rotating shift coverage. You choose a pattern (2-2-3, 4-on-4-off, or DuPont), pick a start date and how many days to generate, and add your team names. The generator outputs an Excel spreadsheet with one row per date and one column per team, with cells labeled Day, Night, or Off and color-coded for quick scanning.
All patterns use 12-hour shifts. The file includes a frozen header row so you can scroll long schedules without losing context. Use it as-is or tweak formulas and formatting in Excel after download.
Generate your schedule
Using 4 team names.
After you generate, open the .xlsx in Excel. You can edit team names, extend dates, or adjust colors. No account needed—everything runs in your browser.
