What it is

Daypart is a shift scheduling app for owner-run teams of 3 to 75. It builds weekly schedules, collects availability, handles swaps, and alerts staff through web and iOS apps. The builder offers drag-and-drop shifts, half-hour cells, role colors, day-level events, and copying the previous week. Managers can post open shifts for qualified teammates, with conflicts flagged before publishing. Team features include two-way trades, time-off approvals, approval auditing, hours reports, overtime alerts, weekly email reports, and CSV payroll exports with Gusto and QuickBooks presets. The native iPhone and iPad app provides shift alerts, Apple Calendar updates, and open-shift claims; shifts also sync with Apple Calendar. A 30-day trial includes full Team features without a credit card. Afterward, an unupgraded account becomes read-only. Team costs $20 a month.
