From extra time to time off

Understand the pattern
Working-time reports from your own saved records

Keep a usable copy
Rota backups and exports that stay under your control
Understand DutyNest's Free local backup, restore and personal-data export controls, and how they differ from Premium report exports.
Local by default
An offline-first rota app with deliberate sharing choices
Use DutyNest's core rota tools without an account. Learn what stays local, what optional Sync changes and what the website assistant cannot access.
A smaller shared view
Optional household rota sharing without sharing every detail
Learn about DutyNest Premium Sync and one read-only household calendar, with a limited view that excludes notes, colleagues and payroll codes.
Make it your own in DutyNest
Core local rota tools work without an account. Free and Premium are ad-free. DutyNest is a personal planner, not an official employer roster, payroll authority, medical service or legal-compliance system.
