One app for the shift.One console for the department.
Free for every firefighter, EMT, and medic to track a 24/48 or 48/96 and share it with family. When your department's ready, the same platform runs sign-ups, trades, coverage, and the station board.

Your schedule, in your pocket
Every firefighter, EMT, and medic gets a personal calendar. Set your 24/48 once and see it forever, share it with family, and keep an eye on your certifications and your retirement countdown.
Shift Calendar
24/48, 48/96, 3x12, 4x10, or a pattern you build yourself. Set it once and see your schedule for good, past, present, and future.
Sharing
Share your schedule with up to 10 family members using a simple invite code. They see your shifts in their own app, no account needed.
Training and Certifications
Track CAPCE hours, certifications, and expiration dates. See where you stand on every renewal at a glance.
Retirement Countdown
Set your career start date and your target, and watch the years, months, and days count down to the day you hang up the helmet.
See every gap before it becomes a problem
A live staffing view across every station, platoon, and role. Members claim open shifts from their phone, coverage fills in as they do, and you step in only when a slot is still short of minimum staffing.
Coverage and Gap Detection
A live staffing view across every station and role. Gaps show up right away, so you can call for volunteer coverage with overtime tracked, or assign mandatory overtime when you have to.
Open Shift Board
This is the whiteboard, moved to everyone's phone. Members claim open shifts, and you see who is covered at a glance and step in only when a slot is still short.
Analytics and Reporting
Coverage by station, team, and day, overtime spread across the crew, FLSA tracking, and certification status, all in one dashboard.
Retire the whiteboard for good
One live roster drives both the office view and the station TV. Assign an open slot in a tap, and the read-only display refreshes on its own so the crew always sees who is working.
Station Display
A dark TV mode with a 14-day view, auto-refresh, and coverage needs by station and role. Put it on any screen in the house and leave it running.
Drag to assign
Fill an open slot yourself when nobody signs up. Assign by station, role, and platoon, then watch the roster and the TV display update right away.
Announcements
Post to the whole department and see who has read it and who hasn't. Pin what matters to the top so it doesn't get buried.
Approve with the full picture in view
Time off, shift trades, and overtime all run through one workflow. Trades need partner confirmation and admin approval, every request runs a staffing-impact check, and overtime counts against the FLSA 7(k) 212-hour, 28-day period on its own.
Approvals
Time-off requests checked against duty days, trades with staffing checks, and leave balances that accrue as they should. Cancel or revoke anything that changes.
Shift Trades
A member requests a trade, the partner agrees, and the approver signs off. Every swap runs a staffing check first, so no trade quietly leaves a unit short.
Overtime Tracking
Track overtime against FLSA 7(k) thresholds, not a plain 40-hour week. The 212-hour, 28-day math is built in the way fire departments actually calculate it.
Three ways to schedule. One platform.
Fixed rotations, an open sign-up board, or both at once. However your department or agency runs, RescueShift handles it.
Traditional Rotation
Fixed platoon patterns like 24/48, 48/96, 3x12, and 2-on/2-off. Set the pattern once and the system works out who is on duty from then on.
Open Sign-Up Board
Members claim open shifts from their phone. Monthly minimums track on their own, and you generate a month of slots from a template in one tap.
Hybrid Mode
Run rotation for base staffing and the sign-up board for overtime and callback. The roster pulls both into one view.
Try the free firefighter calculators
Project your rotation, plan Kelly days, and check overtime against the real FLSA 7(k) threshold. No account required.
