If you work the same shift on a regular pattern — every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, every other day, or the 1st of each month — you can make one shift recurring instead of adding each occurrence yourself. ShiftSync then fills your calendar in for you.

Recurrence starts from a normal shift: add one to the first day, then open it for editing and turn on repeating.

Make a shift repeat

  1. Click Your shifts in the left sidebar.
  2. Find the shift in the day’s list and click its ⋯ (more) menu, then Edit.

In the Edit shift editor:

  1. Tap Make recurring.
  2. Under Repeats, choose Daily, Weekly or Monthly.
  3. Set Every to how often it repeats — e.g. 2 with Weekly means every other week.
  4. For a Weekly pattern, tick the weekdays it should fall on (Mon–Sun). Leave them all unticked to repeat on the same weekday as the original shift.
  5. Under Ends, choose when it stops:
    • Never — repeats indefinitely.
    • On date — pick an End date; the last occurrence is on or before that day.
    • After — set a number of Occurrences.
  6. Tap Save.

The repeating shifts appear on your calendar, each marked with a ↻ repeat icon.

How recurring shifts behave

  • Occurrences are generated about 6 months ahead and topped up over time, so a never-ending pattern always has months of shifts ready.
  • For a Monthly pattern on the 29th, 30th or 31st, months that don’t have that date are skipped (for example, the 31st skips February, April, June, September and November).
  • Each occurrence is a normal shift — it counts towards your hours and pay, shows in your calendar feed, and can be shared with friends like any other shift.

Edit or delete part of a series

When you edit or delete a shift that repeats, ShiftSync asks how much of the series to change:

  • This shift — just this one occurrence.
  • This and following shifts — this occurrence and every later one.
  • All shifts in the series — every occurrence, past and future.

Changing the Repeats pattern itself always applies from the shift you’re editing onwards, splitting the series at that point.

Stop a shift repeating

Open any occurrence for editing, tap Remove recurrence, then Save. That occurrence and the ones before it are kept; the later ones are removed and the shift stops repeating.
