One place for your working pattern
Made for rotas that do not fit a nine-to-five calendar.
DutyNest brings the details of irregular work together in a calm, practical view, with local storage as the default.
A calendar you can read quickly
See day, night, overnight, rest and leave records at a glance, with useful shift codes instead of ambiguous dots.
Planned time and late finishes
Keep scheduled and actual finish times separate. Record overruns and linked overtime without rewriting what was originally planned.
Leave, TOIL and overtime
Track requests, balances, overtime status and time off in lieu with clear history that explains how your totals changed.
Reports that respect your data
Understand weekly and monthly paid time locally. Premium adds deeper analysis and CSV, PDF and calendar exports.
Private by design
No account is required for local use, and there is no advertising or behavioural tracking. Optional Premium Sync begins only when you create an account and deliberately enable it.
Clear at a glance
A calmer way to see demanding work.
DutyNest was designed to make complex working patterns easier to understand, not to add another layer of admin.
Your rota
Know what is coming without decoding a spreadsheet.
Move from a clear monthly view into the details of any shift. Optional notes, colleague names, payroll codes and reminders are there when useful, but they are never demanded.
- Day, night, overnight, rest and custom shift types
- Paid or unpaid breaks with honest duration totals
- Optional local reminders for upcoming shifts
Patterns without the risk
Preview future changes. Leave your history alone.
Create and revise repeating rotas from a date you choose. DutyNest skips conflicts, protects manually edited shifts and does not recalculate completed work.
- Preview before applying a pattern
- Pause, resume and revise future rota cycles
- Keep historical and manual records fixed
Useful totals, not noise
Understand your time with evidence you can take with you.
Free includes practical weekly and monthly summaries. Premium adds custom periods, contracted-versus-worked comparisons, trends, shift mix and export-ready records.
- Local calculations from your saved records
- CSV, branded PDF and iCalendar exports with Premium
- No advertising or analytics SDK
Local by default. Sync only by choice.
Core rota tools work without an account and keep records on your device. Premium Sync creates a separate cloud copy only after you choose to create an account and enable it.
Privacy is part of the product

Straight answers
Questions before you put your rota in an app.
No. DutyNest is offline-first and its core rota tools work locally without an account. Optional Premium Sync requires an account and starts only when you choose to enable it.
Yes. You can use common presets or create a day-by-day personal cycle with shift-specific times and rest days. Changes can be previewed before they touch your future rota.
You can add an actual finish to a completed shift. DutyNest preserves the planned time, records the overrun separately and can create a linked overtime record.
No. DutyNest Free has no fixed time limit and retains practical rota tools, worker-management records and basic reports. Premium adds higher limits, deeper analysis and exports.
No. Apple or Google manages the subscription. Deleting local data or uninstalling DutyNest does not cancel a store subscription; cancellation is handled in the relevant store account.
No. DutyNest is a personal planning tool. Important rota, attendance, rest, pay and leave information should always be checked against your employer or relevant authority.
Take the uncertainty out of your working pattern.
DutyNest brings shifts, patterns, overtime, leave, TOIL and reports together privately, clearly and without adverts.
