All features › Caregiver shifts & timesheets

Who’s on today, who’s on tomorrow, and who actually walked in the door.

Set a caregiver’s recurring pattern once — Maria, weekdays 9–5 — and the schedule keeps itself filled about two weeks ahead. Caregivers check in by scanning a QR code at the door, the family sees each shift start and end as it happens, and the hours add up into a weekly timesheet nobody has to reconstruct from memory.

Set the pattern once. The schedule writes itself.

Most caregiver schedules repeat — the same person, the same days, the same hours. So the system asks for the pattern, not the week: Maria, weekdays 9–5, set up one time. From then on it generates the actual shifts about two weeks ahead, continuously, without anyone rebuilding a calendar every Sunday night.

The schedule reads the way the family already thinks about it: who’s on today, who’s on tomorrow, and which shifts are still open. An open shift is visible before it’s a problem, not the morning it becomes one.

Check-in is a timesheet, because that’s what it is.

Caregivers check in and out by scanning a QR code at the door, or from a card at the top of their app home screen. We deliberately frame it as a timesheet — the same record any hourly work runs on — because that’s exactly what it is. Nothing more ceremonial than that.

The check-in is also corroborated by the house itself: the door motion sensor confirms that someone actually arrived. Not a location trace, not a camera on the caregiver — just the house agreeing with the timesheet.

The family sees shift start and end as it happens. No watching the clock, no “did she make it?” text at 9:15.

The hours add themselves up.

Every check-in and check-out accumulates into a weekly timesheet view. At the end of the week, the hours are simply there — per caregiver, as they were actually worked — instead of being reassembled from texts, memory, and a paper calendar on the refrigerator.

It’s a truthful record you can pay from, whether you pay an agency, a private hire, or both. When the record is shared and nobody has to argue about hours, one of the quiet frictions between families and caregivers simply goes away.

The schedule doesn’t live alone.

Caregivers get their own logins with caregiver-level access — they see what they need to work a shift, and not the family’s private conversation. Alongside the schedule live the caregiver roster, the appointments, the household supply list, and the care-notes feed that carries from one shift to the next. The handoff between caregivers stops living in text messages.

This matters more than a schedule usually does. Families in this situation often spend $8,500 to $25,000 a month on in-home caregivers, and caregiver turnover is the most expensive recurring failure in that budget. A calm, organized household — where the schedule is clear, the hours are never disputed, and every shift starts with what you need to know — is a household good caregivers stay in. The scheduling layer is where that calm starts.

What it’s not.

It’s not an agency or a caregiver marketplace. You bring your own caregivers — agency staff, private hires, family filling gaps. We coordinate the people you already have; we don’t supply them.

It’s not payroll software. The timesheet is a truthful record you can pay from, not a payments product. Money moves however your family already moves it.

It’s not employee surveillance. Check-in is the same courtesy a timesheet asks of anyone who works by the hour. There’s no location tracking, no productivity score — a shift started, a shift ended, and the record says so.

Common questions.

How do caregivers check in and out?

By scanning a QR code at the door, or from a card at the top of their app home screen. It’s deliberately framed as a timesheet, because that’s what it is — and the door motion sensor corroborates that someone actually arrived.

Do I have to build the schedule every week?

No. You set a recurring pattern once — Maria, weekdays 9 to 5 — and the system generates the actual shifts about two weeks ahead, continuously. The schedule always shows who’s on today, who’s on tomorrow, and which shifts are still open.

Can I pay caregivers from it?

It isn’t payroll software. Hours accumulate into a weekly timesheet view — a truthful record you can pay from, however you pay. The paying itself happens outside the system.

What do caregivers see in the app?

Caregivers get their own logins with caregiver-level access — they see what they need to work a shift. The roster, appointments, supply list, and care-notes feed live alongside the schedule, so shift handoffs stop living in text messages.
