⭐ Star of the month: Mobile Rota Editor

Need to stay on top of your rotas while you're on the move?

The Mobile Rota Editor makes scheduling fast, flexible, and effortless — giving you the power to make scheduling decisions on the go.

Streamlined scheduling, anytime, anywhere

With the mobile editor, you can:

  • View a streamlined 3‑day mobile-friendly rota
  • Create, edit, and manage shifts with ease
  • Rearrange shifts with long‑press drag-and-drop
  • See real‑time hours and wage totals across selected rotas
  • Search and filter to focus on what matters
  • Publish or mark rotas for approval directly from your device

Everything you need to keep schedules running smoothly — right at your fingertips.

And for more complex rota building...

The Mobile Rota Editor is designed for quick, essential editing. For more advanced planning tools, the web-based Rota Editor has the full suite of features.


Ready to get started?

You’ll find the Mobile Rota Editor in the main navigation of the Rotaready mobile app (permissions permitting). Enjoy seamless rota management — no matter where your day takes you.

🤔 Did you know?

With Rotaready’s notification subscriptions, you choose exactly which alerts you want to receive — so you’re only notified about what’s relevant to you.

  • Rota approvals
  • Shift broadcasts
