Your rota and holiday, on your iPhone.
Today’s shift, the next four weeks and holiday left, on the first screen. Book time off in three taps, tell your manager you’re not well before your shift, and take an open shift straight from the notification. Line managers approve from the same app.
Free to download, and it comes with every RotaTiger account.Six screens, nothing to hunt for.
Four tabs and a big + button. These are the screens from the App Store, with a sample company’s rota.

The things people actually do on a shift.
Big buttons and plain words, built with the parts of iOS people already know.
Their rota
Today’s shift on the home screen and the next four weeks in My rota, with a notification when the rota is published or changes.
Book time off
Pick the type, tap the first and last day, send. They see what it uses and what’s left before they send, and only the shifts they’d have worked come off.
I’m not well today
Tell their manager before the shift starts. The reason goes to the manager and HR only, and the app asks the next morning if they’re back.
Notifications that do things
Take an open shift, approve or decline a request, or answer “I’m back” or “Still off”, right from the notification.
Widgets
Home screen and lock screen widgets for the next shift, the next time off and holiday left.
Face ID and passkeys
Sign in with a code sent to their email or mobile, then Face ID. Passkeys and two-step verification work too.
iPhone Duo and iPad
On iPhone Duo, the cover screen when it’s folded and two panes when it’s open. iPad gets the same two-pane layout.
Swap and open shifts
Ask a colleague to swap a shift, or take an open one. Their manager approves, with cover checked first.
When they can’t work
Set the days and times they can’t work, and when they’d prefer to, every week or on particular dates.
Approve it from the shop floor.
Requests arrive as a notification with Approve and Decline on it. Open the Team tab for the detail.
- Approve, decline or choose “Let’s talk” to ask a question first.
- Each request shows whether approving it would leave the team below minimum cover.
- See the team on a wallchart by week, month or year, sorted by name, job role or shift pattern.
- Record overtime for the team, and approve, move or remove days off in lieu when a bank holiday falls on a day off.
- Planning and publishing the rota stays on app.rotatiger.com, where there’s room for the whole week.
No ads. No tracking.
It’s an app for work, so it behaves like one. Our privacy notice has the detail.
- No advertising, analytics or tracking, and nothing sold to anyone.
- It only asks for notifications or the calendar when someone uses the feature that needs it.
- Face ID stays on the iPhone. The app is only told whether the check passed.
- Sign-in details are kept in the iPhone’s Keychain, on that phone only.
- Sickness reasons are encrypted, and colleagues only ever see “Away”.
