Shift scheduling software for rota-based teams
Whether your team runs mornings and evenings or a 24/7 rotation, Rosterna builds the shift rota for you — coverage needs filled first, rest rules respected, and the load shared fairly.
Start free for 45 daysAny shift pattern
Mornings, evenings, nights, split shifts, fixed days off per group — Rosterna handles the rotation and keeps month-end continuity into the next month.
Rest and hours respected
Minimum rest between shifts, a weekly-hour cap and a limit on days in a row are applied as the rota is built — by default 11 hours, 48 hours and 6 days, adjustable per group.
Nights and weekends, shared evenly
Rosterna tracks who worked the hard shifts and rotates them, so the same people do not carry every night and weekend. Staff can ask for the days they prefer off, and once you approve, the engine respects them where coverage allows.
From rota to phone in one step
When you publish, staff are notified and see their shifts in the app. Swaps are requested and approved in the app instead of a group chat.
Frequently asked questions
Can it handle 24/7 coverage?
Yes. Rosterna covers round-the-clock rotations while respecting rest rules and balancing night and weekend load across the team.
Does it work for split or fixed-day-off teams?
Yes — each group can keep its own rhythm, including fixed weekly days off, and Rosterna schedules around them.
What happens at the end of the month?
Rosterna reads the previous month so patterns and rest carry across the boundary — month end never breaks month start.
Is a shift schedule the same as a roster or a rota?
Mostly, yes. Shift schedule, rota and roster all mean who works which shift on which day. Rosterna builds that plan for the whole month in one go.
Can I start with a free template?
Yes. Our free shift schedule template works without an account. When your team outgrows it, Rosterna builds the same schedule for you automatically.
