Does Fridge2Cal handle overnight shifts that cross midnight?

Yes, but always verify them in the review step. An overnight shift listed as 10pm–6am should end the following morning — adjust the end date if the draft has both times on the same day.

Can I scan only my shifts from a roster that lists the whole team?

Yes. Fridge2Cal turns every detected shift into an editable draft. Delete coworkers' shifts in the review screen before saving so only yours land on your calendar.

Does it pick up AM versus PM correctly?

Most of the time yes, but printed rosters often use a 24-hour or shorthand format that can be ambiguous. The review step is the moment to confirm late shifts are not mistakenly saved for the morning.

Will it work with handwritten changes or post-it notes on a printed roster?

Yes, Fridge2Cal reads handwritten additions alongside printed text. Heavily marked-up rosters are easier to verify if you scan the affected week separately.

Can I send shifts to a specific work calendar?

Yes. Choose any calendar already on your iPhone — a dedicated work calendar keeps shifts separated from family events and makes them easier to share with a partner.

Turn a work schedule photo into iPhone Calendar events

Printed shift schedules are easy to photograph and hard to use later. Fridge2Cal reads the schedule image, creates editable event drafts, and saves only the shifts you approve.

Scan a work schedule

Shift rosters

Use it for weekly or monthly schedules posted in a break room, emailed as an image, or printed by a manager.

Class and clinic schedules

Add rotations, lab times, appointments, and repeating time blocks after checking the drafts.

Irregular hours

Useful when every week is different and a recurring calendar rule will not match reality.

What to review before saving

AM and PM: make sure late shifts do not land in the morning.
End times: check overnight shifts that pass midnight.
Location: add store, unit, site, or room details if the paper schedule uses abbreviations.
Your shifts only: remove coworkers' shifts before saving if the roster includes everyone.

Best photo setup

Photograph the schedule straight on, include headers and dates, and zoom in enough that small shift times are readable. For dense rosters, scan one week at a time.

Stop manually entering every shift.
