ShiftNight is a sleep companion for nurses who work nights. It turns your schedule into a visual plan for sleep, caffeine, and naps.
ShiftNight Premium is $8.99 per month or $68.99 per year, with a 30-day free trial in the iOS app. A $69.99 lifetime option may be available as a limited offer.
Yes. Apple Health data is not uploaded to ShiftNight servers. If you opt in, ShiftNight may sync selected schedule dates, manual sleep or Sleep Mode summaries, onboarding choices, generated recommendation-window context, crashes, and diagnostics to operate and improve the app.
No, but it helps. ShiftNight works fully on iPhone. If you have an Apple Watch, it can use heart rate and sleep stage data locally for in-app insights and smarter sleep zone recommendations. Oura Ring integration is coming soon.
Not yet. For now, shifts are quick to enter and repeating patterns speed it up.
No. ShiftNight is a planning tool, not a diagnosis or treatment app.
ShiftNight supports seven built-in patterns: 7pm-7am (3 on/4 off), 7pm-7am (4 on/3 off), 11pm-7am, 6pm-6am, 8pm-8am, 7pm-7am rotating, and 10pm-6am. You can also create custom patterns for any shift times.
HealthKit samples, sleep stages, heart rate, HRV, respiratory rate, SpO2, wrist temperature, audio, free-text notes, and raw onboarding dumps stay out of ShiftNight servers. Product analytics and consented diagnostics use pseudonymous identifiers and bounded fields.
Yes. While many nurses work 12-hour shifts, ShiftNight fully supports 8-hour overnight patterns like 11pm-7am and 10pm-6am with appropriate sleep windows and caffeine cutoff times.
The caffeine calculator is a free browser tool that calculates your personalized caffeine cutoff time based on your shift end time and caffeine sensitivity. It uses caffeine half-life science to determine when to stop drinking coffee so it does not interfere with your sleep.
Yes. Rotating schedules are one of the hardest patterns for sleep. ShiftNight adapts your sleep recommendations based on which shift you are working each day, including transition days between day and night blocks.
ShiftNight Premium is $8.99 per month or $68.99 per year (save 36%). There is also a $69.99 lifetime option (limited offer). Premium subscriptions include a 30-day free trial in the iOS app.
Generic sleep apps assume you sleep at night. ShiftNight is built around shift schedules: it knows when your shift ends, calculates sleep windows, tracks caffeine cutoffs, plans naps, and handles flip days. It is the only sleep app designed specifically for night shift nurses.
No. ShiftNight is a planning and tracking tool, not a medical device. Its recommendations are based on published sleep science research but are not a substitute for medical advice. Always consult your healthcare provider for medical concerns.
