The three big jobs
Save hours, control the spend, keep everyone informed.
Most of what a shift manager does falls into three buckets. Shift Amp is built around them rather than around a feature list.
Build and manage schedules in minutes
Build the week in one go or start from a template you already trust. Manage every scheduling job in one place and keep everyone current when it changes.
- Build a week in minutes, or reuse one you saved
- Time-off requests, availability and shift trades in one place
- Everyone knows who is working when, from any device
- Changes reach your team the moment you publish them
Also included
The parts that make the rest work.
Not everything needs its own page. These come with the app and quietly remove a job you are currently doing by hand.

Paid time off
Cap PTO by the leave types your business supports and approve incoming requests against what each person has left.

The platform, answered.
What does Shift Amp actually do?
It's a scheduling app. You build the week, your team sees it on their phones, and swaps and time-off requests come to you to approve. It also has a time clock and team messaging. It doesn't do payroll, and there are no add-ons.
Do I have to use all of it?
No. Most teams start with scheduling because that is the sharpest pain, then add the time clock, then labor costs. Nothing has to be switched on before you are ready for it.
How big a team is it for?
Whether you are managing five people or five hundred, the same tools fit. The free plan has no cap on team size, and Shift Amp scales up to multi-site groups running several locations across different states.
What kind of businesses use it?
Anything that runs on shifts. Restaurants, retail, hotels, healthcare, entertainment, call centers, education, nonprofits, emergency services and caregiving all schedule the same way underneath, which is why the same tools fit.
How long does it take to set up?
You can build your first week in minutes. Adding wages, break rules and locations takes a bit longer, and most teams do that over their first week or two rather than up front.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes, and for most of your team that is the only way they will ever use it. Your team checks shifts, picks up open shifts, clocks in and reads messages on mobile. Managers can run the whole thing from one too.
What does it cost?
Scheduling is free for your whole team, at any size, with no credit card. Pro adds the time clock, timesheets, reports and more for $2 per billable member a month, and every new team starts with 14 days of everything free.
Can I move over from a spreadsheet?
That is where most of our customers come from. Build your first schedule alongside the spreadsheet if you want to, publish it when it looks right, and stop maintaining the old one.
