What you can finish without an account

Add up to 6 employees, assign more than one same-day shift when needed, and move from the current week through 4 future weeks. The grid updates employee, day, and team totals immediately. Employee names and shifts stay locally in this browser for 7 days after the last edit, and you can download a PDF whenever you need a file.

When a free account becomes useful

A free account is for persistence and collaboration, not for unlocking the basic math. It saves schedules for up to 12 active employees with 8 weeks of history and adds employee records, roles, availability, overtime review, tips, pay estimates, print/PDF, and CSV/XLSX exports.

Choose guest, Free, or Supporter

The public tool is best for building a short-lived local draft. Create a Free account when the schedule needs account history, cross-device editing, or an employee-facing published view. The local guest draft is not automatically imported. Supporter keeps the same core workflow but adds capacity, history, no ads, and priority support.

Access	Team and history	What you can keep	Best fit
Guest	6 employees · this week + 4 future weeks	Temporary page state and a PDF download	Build one schedule immediately
Free account	12 active employees · 8 weeks	Saved weeks, employee access, PDF/print, CSV and XLSX	A small team running the schedule every week
Supporter	50 active employees · 52 weeks	The Free core workflow plus no ads and priority support	A larger team or a business that wants longer history

Use the right page for the job

This page owns the free shift scheduler intent. Use the shift schedule maker when you are searching for the broader online maker workflow, the weekly shift schedule template for a template-first explanation, or the restaurant schedule maker for restaurant coverage and split-shift examples.

For continuous operations, start from the 12-hour 2-2-3 schedule or the 8-hour 24/7 schedule, then rebuild the dated week here with real employees and availability.

Built for the manager who still owns the week

The guest scheduler fits small restaurants, cafes, retail shops, salons, clinics, and other hourly teams where one owner or manager still builds the weekly schedule. It is deliberately focused; it is not an enterprise forecasting or HR platform.

Frequently asked questions

Is this shift scheduler really free?

Yes. Guest mode needs no signup, credit card, or trial. Add up to 6 employees, build the current week or one of the next 4 weeks, see live totals, and download a PDF. Employee names and shifts are kept locally in the same browser for 7 days after the last edit.

How many employees can I schedule without an account?

Guest mode supports up to 6 employees. A free saved account supports up to 12 active employees and 8 weeks of schedule history. Optional Supporter increases those limits to 50 employees and 52 weeks.

Can I print or share the schedule?

Yes. Download the guest schedule as a branded PDF for printing or sharing. A free account adds saved schedules, print views, and CSV/XLSX exports.

Does the free scheduler save my shifts?

Guest mode keeps employee names and shifts locally in the same browser for 7 days after the last edit, so an accidental refresh or closed tab can be recovered. It is not account history, does not sync across devices, and is not automatically imported when you sign up. Create a free account for editable history or employee access to published schedules.

How is this different from a spreadsheet template?

The live scheduler calculates each shift and weekly total as you work. You do not maintain formulas or copy a file for every revision. Use the weekly template page if you specifically want that planning angle.
