EASY! Creating and editing templates works exactly as in the calendar-app
QUICK! Enter templates conveniently via drag-and-drop in landscape-mode
HANDY! You can use as many templates on a day as you like. Tap to see them all in an overview on the side of the screen
Do you often have recurring events and you do not feel like putting them into the calendar over and over again? Are you annoyed every month when you get your schedule and have to enter every single day of work manually?
ShiftsToCal will help you save your valuable time! Create templates for your events with just a few taps and then just drag them onto the dates on which you want to use them.
Does that sound complicated?
No worries! If you have created an event in the calendar app before then you will be comfortable with ShiftsToCal right away. The interface looks similar to the calendar app so that you will be able to use the app right from the start.
How can I keep my templates apart?
You can use custom names for your templates. The custom name is independent of the title you want to be displayed in the calendar. For example, you could name your templates "Morning-", "Afternoon-", or "Night-Shift" but use "Work" as the title.
Nightshift? How does that work?
ShiftsToCal recognizes if the end-time comes after the start-time and adjusts the event so that it runs from one day to the other.
I often need to attend conventions or workshops that last for several days. What do I do now?
No problem! Create all-day-events with the duration you need. In the settings you can choose if you want ShiftsToCal to create single events for every day or one event for the entire duration.
I have to travel between timezones. Do I have to calculate?
No! Just choose the timezone you are going to.
What about iCloud?
As the events you create with ShiftsToCal are entered into the regular calendar they sync with all your devices. The templates cannot be synced at the time being. But you can export and import them via the built-in file-sharing easily.
Any questions? Do not hesitate to send me an email and I will try to help you. If you like you can send me details of templates you would like to have created and I will send you a file that you can import via file-sharing.
I would appreciate a positive review. If you have questions, problems or ideas it would be great if you could email me. I will try to find a solution as quickly as possible.
