Terms of Use
ShiftSync - A shared calendar for nurses and shift workers
Effective date: September 16, 2026
These terms are an agreement between you and Christian Valera ("we", "us"), the developer of ShiftSync. By installing or using the app you agree to them. If you do not agree, do not use the app.
ShiftSync is distributed through the Apple App Store, and Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement also applies. Where these terms and Apple's agreement conflict, Apple's agreement applies to the App Store download and licence, and these terms apply to the service behind the app.
1. What ShiftSync is
ShiftSync is a personal calendar for shift work. It lets you record your shift pattern, see it next to the schedules of colleagues you connect with, export it to your device calendar, and ask colleagues to cover a shift. It is free to use.
ShiftSync is not an employer rostering system, a timekeeping record, or a source of truth for your hours. Your employer's roster is. Nothing in the app changes your actual shifts, and a cover request accepted in the app is an arrangement between you and your colleague that you are still responsible for confirming with whoever manages your roster.
2. Your account
You may use the app without an account, in which case your schedule stays on your phone. To share a schedule you need an account, created with Sign in with Apple or an email address. You must be at least 13 years old and give accurate information. You are responsible for keeping your device and sign-in secure and for everything done under your account.
You can delete your account at any time; see the Privacy Policy for how and what happens to your data.
3. Sharing and other people's schedules
When you connect with a colleague, you decide how much of your schedule they can see. Anything they share with you is for your personal use in planning. You agree not to copy, publish, or pass on a colleague's schedule, and not to use it to harass, stalk, or monitor anyone. Invite codes are for people you know; do not post them publicly.
A calendar feed link you create lets anyone who holds it read your schedule. Treat it as a password, and rotate it from Settings if you think it has been shared too widely.
4. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- enter patient, clinical, or other confidential information into the app;
- use the app for anything unlawful, or in breach of your employer's policies;
- attempt to access accounts, schedules, or data that are not shared with you;
- interfere with the service, probe or overload it, or reverse engineer the app except where the law allows;
- impersonate another person or misrepresent who you are to a colleague.
We may suspend or close an account that breaks these rules.
5. Your content
Your schedule and everything you enter remain yours. You give us permission to store, process, and show it to the people you have connected with, solely to provide the service. We claim no other rights over it.
6. The app and the service
We grant you a personal, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the app on Apple devices you own or control, under Apple's usage rules. The app and its code are ours and are protected by copyright.
We may change, suspend, or discontinue the app or any part of the service at any time. We will make reasonable efforts to give notice before withdrawing the service, and your data remains exportable from the app while it runs.
7. Notifications and calendar access
Push notifications, shift reminders, and calendar export are optional and controlled by iOS permissions you grant. Delivery of notifications depends on Apple's service and your device settings, and we cannot guarantee that any reminder arrives. Do not rely on ShiftSync as your only reminder of a shift.
8. No warranty
The app is provided "as is" and "as available". To the fullest extent the law allows, we make no warranty that it will be accurate, uninterrupted, or error-free. In particular, a colleague's schedule shown in the app is only as current as what they entered and what has synced to your device. The app tells you when it does not know, but always check before relying on it.
9. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential loss, or for any loss of earnings, missed shifts, scheduling conflicts, or disputes with an employer or colleague, arising from your use of the app. Our total liability to you for any claim is limited to the amount you paid for the app, which is nothing. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.
10. Apple
Apple is not responsible for the app or its content and has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for it. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms and may enforce them against you. If the app fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple may refund the purchase price, if any; Apple has no other warranty obligation.
11. Ending the agreement
You can stop using the app and delete your account at any time. We can end this agreement if you breach these terms. Sections 5, 8, 9, and 10 survive termination.
12. Changes
We may update these terms. The current version is always at this address with its effective date. Continued use after a change means you accept it; if a change is significant we will tell you in the app first.
