How it works
Simple. Secure. Stress-free.
1
Set your schedule
Firefighter sets their 2-2-4 watch pattern.
2
Share a link
Send a single invite link to the people you trust.
3
They stay in the loop
Family sees a clear calendar — on shift or at home.
28 day rotation
Four weeks, one rotation.
Week 1 sits on the outside, week 4 at the core. Each segment is a day (1–28), coloured by the 2-2-4 pattern, with its day number rotated to the segment. A coral highlight marks the current week and steps inward — outer → inner — as the rotation progresses, so family see where you are in the cycle, not just today.
Day shift Night shift Off
The four watches — Blue, Green, Red, White — each run the same 2-2-4 cycle, staggered so the brigade keeps 24/7 cover.

Mutual Exchange
Find eligible cover without the group-chat scramble.
ShiftSignal turns Mutual Exchange into a guided workflow: choose the shifts you need covered, review eligible firefighters, and keep the status visible alongside your rota.
- Pick one shift or build a multi-shift request from your watch-aware calendar.
- See station, watch, STARs and skills context before you send the request.
- Track each exchange through response, external authorisation and final outcome.
- Keep authorised exchanges visible in your calendar history.
Overtime Tracker
Know what you worked, what converts, and what expires.
Track OT, PAO and Leave in Lieu around LFB salary months and claim cut-offs, so extra work does not disappear into notes, messages or forgotten spreadsheets.
- Group overtime entries by LFB salary month with expected pay-date context.
- Convert eligible overtime to LILO when you choose to take time back.
- Spot LILO that is expired or close to expiring before it catches you out.
- Keep records portable and exportable for your own audit trail.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
Yes. Your schedule is only ever visible to people you explicitly invite via a single-use link. There is no public viewer signup and no directory. You can revoke any viewer's access instantly.
You generate an invite link from inside the app and send it to whoever you trust — partner, parents, friends. They open it and can see your calendar. No account needed for viewers; it's free for them.
No. ShiftSignal is an independent tool built for firefighter families. It's tailored to LFB's 4-watch rotation but is not affiliated with or endorsed by the London Fire Brigade.
Firefighters create an account to manage their schedule; invited viewers are always free. (Final pricing is the author's call — this is a placeholder.)
