Coyoteshift™Get the schedule off the whiteboard and onto their phones.
Coyoteshift™ is the app we built to run our own stores: the schedule, a GPS time clock, time off, swaps, chat and announcements, in one place every staff member already carries. Now with approvals, timesheets, tips, labour rules you set yourself and a Simple mode for the pen-and-paper crowd. From $29 a month, flat.
Web app live now · iPhone + Android beta coming soon.

Built for a busy shift change
people using the app at the same moment, tested with zero errors on our current hosting (four workers live).
people clocking in in the same second: every punch recorded, 95% within 0.3 seconds.
headroom over last release’s load, safe by design — automatic guards stop a test before the server itself is stretched.
“People using the app at the same moment” = active users each making a request about every 10 seconds. Measured on our hosting; your experience also depends on your phone and connection.

Stuff people ask
- Who built it?
- Owners who run their own stores on it every day, with real staff on real shifts. You reach us, not a queue. We aim to reply within one business day.
- Where’s my staff’s data?
- Our own server. No ad trackers, no data resale. Export on request, and an automatic export is emailed if you ever cancel. Deleted 30 days after a subscription ends.
- Contract?
- No. Monthly or annual, cancel by email. Full refund within 14 days of the first payment. Card details go to Stripe, never to us.
- After I pay?
- Business, first location and owner login are created within a couple of minutes. Welcome email, set a password, a setup wizard for hours, shifts and inviting staff.
