ShiftPilot turns the schedule email you already get into a clean calendar — with your hours, your estimated pay, and a reminder before every shift. Work a fixed rotation instead? Generate it once and it fills itself in.
Free in early access · No ads · We never read your inbox



Reads schedules from
Nursing, hospitality, retail, warehouse, security — if your shifts arrive by email, they arrive here.
What it does
No spreadsheets, no screenshots of the schedule, no adding up hours on your phone calculator in the walk-in.
Forward the schedule email once, or set ShiftPilot as your notification address. Every schedule after that becomes shifts on its own — no copying, no typing.
Hours, overtime and estimated pay per shift and per pay period — even when your pay week and your payday aren't the same day.
Hourly or a flat rate per shift, and overtime thresholds you set yourself. If you're tipped, the estimate tunes itself from what you actually got.
4-on-4-off, Pitman, DuPont, or your own pattern. Set it once and months fill in — for the jobs nobody emails, like fire, EMS and manufacturing.
Tell it the kind of work — hospitality, healthcare, warehouse, retail — and the defaults fit, from tip-out to what a “shift” even means for your job.
Unpaid breaks come out of paid hours, so overtime isn't invented. Night and weekend differentials add on, prorated by the hours in the window.
Start from a recent pay stub, add your accrual, and it tracks what's left as you book time off — in hours, the way payroll counts it.
Push your shifts to Apple, Google or Outlook so they sit right next to the rest of your life — kept in step as your schedule changes.
Export any stretch — a pay period, a month, the whole year — to CSV or a clean PDF, so you can check it against your stub or hand it to someone who asked.
A reminder the morning of, an hour before, or both. Cover requests from your scheduling app land here too, so a trade never slips past you.
Setup
The app gives you a private address the moment you open it.
Forward one email, or set it as your notification address at work.
New schedules turn into shifts, hours and pay estimates by themselves.
Questions
No, and we'd refuse it. You get a private import address and forward your schedule there. We never connect to your inbox or read your mail.
ScheduleFly, 7shifts, Homebase, When I Work, Deputy, Sling and HotSchedules are recognized directly. Anything else falls back to a reader that handles unfamiliar formats — if your schedule arrives as an email, it very likely works.
Plenty of jobs run a fixed rotation everyone just knows — 4-on-4-off, Pitman, DuPont and the like. Pick the pattern (or build your own), set the day it starts, and ShiftPilot generates months of shifts, with pay, overtime and reminders on every one.
Each has a one-time auto-forward rule, and the app walks you through it step by step. Gmail asks you to confirm the address first — the app reads that code back to you so you can finish. Or just forward each schedule by hand; that works anywhere.
Free while it's in early access — 6 months of everything, including automatic import. If something you rely on ever moves behind a paywall, you'll know well before it happens.
No. Your shifts, pay and tip-out are visible only on your own account. Nothing is shared with your employer, and nothing is sold to anyone.
Free while we're in early access. It takes one forwarded email.
