Daypart is a shift scheduling app for owner-run teams. It helps managers build weekly schedules, collect availability, handle shift changes, and notify staff. The builder supports drag-and-drop shifts, half-hour cells, role colors, day-level events, and copying the prior week. Managers can post open shifts for qualified teammates to claim, while availability conflicts are flagged before publishing. The Team plan adds shift swaps, two-way trades, time-off approvals, and an audit log. It also includes hours reporting, overtime alerts, weekly email reports, and CSV payroll exports with Gusto and QuickBooks presets. Daypart is available on the web and as a native iOS app for iPhone and iPad; the app includes shift alerts, Apple Calendar updates, and open-shift claims. A 30-day trial includes Team features without a credit card. The Team plan is $20.00 USD per month. Daypart does not provide payroll, tax filings, HR onboarding, or multi-state compliance features.
