Shift Schedule is a simple desktop gadget designed to help you keep track of a schedule that implies shifts, as the name suggests.

It comes packed with a simple configuration set that can be tweaked by anyone, including users with minimum background in computer software.

The interface is represented by a small frame that you can move to any spot on the screen by using the mouse cursor. It shows a calendar of the current month, along with an example of assigned shifts (color-coded).

As far as customization preferences are concerned, you can choose the shift schedule, team, shift names (early/late, morning/evening, or morning/afternoon) and color scheme.

You can set the schedule pattern, point out the reference date, as well as personalize the colors which will be marked in the calendar.

Thanks to the Windows built-in options (which applies to most desktop gadgets), you can also make the frame stay on top of other windows, as well as set its opacity level to a preset value that ranges from 20% to 100%.

As expected, the small widget does not put a strain on computer performance. It has a good response time and works smoothly, without causing the operating system to hang, crash or pop up error messages.

We have not come across any kind of issues throughout our evaluation. However, Shift Schedule are not highly intuitive. We must also take into account that the app has not been updated for a while.
