What this free shift schedule maker does
The guest tool is for the moment when you need a workable schedule now. Add up to 6 employees, place one or more shifts on a day, move from the current week through 4 future weeks, check live totals, and download a PDF. Nothing is sent to a database, so refresh only after you have saved the PDF you need.
A free account is the next step when the schedule needs to remain editable. It saves schedules for up to 12 active employees with 8 weeks of history and adds employee records, roles, availability, overtime review, pay estimates, tip workflows, print/PDF, and CSV/XLSX exports. No credit card is required.
Weekly shift maker or monthly work schedule maker?
A month is useful for seeing vacations, events, busy periods, and broad staffing gaps. Exact shifts still work best week by week, where a manager can check opening coverage, closing coverage, split shifts, and each person’s total hours without squeezing four weeks into one grid.
| Planning view | Use it for | Best next step |
|---|---|---|
| Weekly | Exact start and end times, daily coverage, and hour totals | Build and approve one shareable week |
| Monthly | Vacations, events, seasonal pressure, and known absences | Mark the month, then detail each week |
If you prefer a printable planning layer, start with the weekly shift schedule template, then use the online tool when the times and totals need to be exact.
Planning continuous coverage? Compare the downloadable 12-hour 2-2-3 rotation and 8-hour 24/7 rotation before assigning real employees.
Make a reliable shift schedule in five checks
- Cover the work first. List the roles or stations that must be covered before assigning names.
- Check availability. Confirm time-off requests, class schedules, and other fixed limits.
- Add complete shift times. Use separate entries for split shifts so every working segment is visible.
- Review the totals. Look for thin coverage, accidental overlap, and hours that need an overtime check.
- Share one approved version. Download the PDF or publish the saved week so the team knows which schedule is current.

Built for small hourly teams
This online staff schedule maker is designed for the manager who still owns the weekly grid: a restaurant or café first, and also a small retail, salon, clinic, service, or community team. The goal is a schedule people can read and trust, without an enterprise setup project.
Maxuod Shift is built in Halifax and offers CAD account settings plus province-aware review prompts inside the saved product. Those prompts help Canadian teams notice items worth checking; they are not payroll processing or legal advice.

Frequently asked questions
Is this a free online shift schedule maker?
Yes. You can add up to 6 guest employees, plan the current week and the next 4 weeks, see hour totals, and download a PDF without creating an account. Guest data is temporary and resets when the page refreshes.
Can I use it as a monthly work schedule maker?
Use a monthly view to mark vacations, events, and known staffing pressure, then build the actual start and end times one week at a time. The guest tool is intentionally weekly so coverage and hour totals stay easy to review.
Does the schedule maker support split shifts?
Yes. You can add more than one shift for the same employee on the same day. Each segment is included in that employee’s daily and weekly totals. Guest shifts must start and end within the same calendar day.
What do I get with a free Maxuod Shift account?
A free account saves schedules for up to 12 active employees with 8 weeks of history. It also adds roles, availability, overtime review, pay estimates, tip workflows, print and PDF tools, and CSV/XLSX exports.
Can employees see their schedules?
Yes. A manager can invite an employee to the employee web portal. Once a schedule week is published, the linked employee can see their own assigned shifts without seeing manager-only wages, payroll totals, or the full tip pool.
