Delegyn Fill a whole week at once
Open shifts get matched against who is actually available, who is near their hours, and who worked the last overnight — then you review it before anything is published. It suggests; you decide.
Built for IDD providers
Next week's schedule, filled in ten minutes.
Delegyn Shift schedules direct support staff, med aides and nursing across residential homes, day programs and supported living — with overnights, strict hour limits and 5am call-offs treated as the normal case, because they are.
No card, no call, no setup fee. Your schedule stays readable even if you walk away.
- Overnight shifts that don't break the maths
- Refuses double-bookings, warns about overtime
- Staff see their own shifts on their phone
- Prints clean for the wall
This week
The week you actually have
You are not short of software. You are short of Tuesday.
A whiteboard that only one person can read. A spreadsheet that forgets who cannot work Sundays. A group text at 5:40am asking whether anyone can take Willow House, and four people replying "who else is on?"
Shift is the smallest thing that fixes those four problems and nothing else. It is not an HR suite, not a case management system, and not a timeclock.
What it does
Made for the parts other schedulers get wrong.
Most scheduling tools were built for shops and restaurants and then pointed at care. The differences are small and they are exactly where the mistakes happen.
Overnights that add up
A 10pm–6am shift is eight hours, on the right day, in the right week. Sounds obvious. It is the single most common place a scheduling tool quietly miscounts, and payroll is where you find out.
Hard limits stay hard
A nurse contracted to 20 hours is a rule the system refuses to break. Someone who would rather not work weekends is a preference it warns you about. Both readings exist because you need both.
Availability by day, not by week
6am–2pm Monday to Wednesday, evenings Thursday, never Sundays. Real availability differs by day, and forcing it into one window is how people get asked to work shifts they already said they couldn't.
Ask for changes in plain English
"Who can cover Saturday overnight at Oak?" or "put Maria on Tuesday days at Willow." It shows you what it understood and what it would change, and waits for you to confirm.
Prints for the wall
A clean 8.5×11 sheet per house or per person. Open shifts say OPEN in words, not just in colour, because these come out of black-and-white office printers.
For your staff
They stop ringing you to ask what they're working.
Every staff member gets their own sign-in. They see their shifts, pick up open ones, and request time off — from their phone, without an app store.
It installs to a home screen in three taps and opens like any other app. There is nothing to download and nothing to approve on a work device.
See their own schedule
This week and next, with hours totalled. Published schedules only — nobody plans their week around a draft that then changes.
Pick up open shifts
They ask, you approve. If you've attached a bonus to a hard-to-fill shift, they see it on the card before they decide.
They don't see each other
A staff member sees how many people are on with them, never who. Staff can be picky about who they cover for, and an open shift should get filled on whether it's workable — not on who else is rostered.
Pricing
Cheap on purpose, and the price is on the page.
One rate, no tiers, no minimum, no annual contract. You can see exactly what you'd pay before you talk to anybody.
Everything above
$20
a month, plus $1 per staff member
Charged on the most staff active at any point in the month, so archiving someone mid-month doesn't cause a surprise either way.
- Unlimited locations, positions and schedulers
- A sign-in for every staff member, included
- Weekly patterns, printing, plain-English editing
- No per-seat charge for office staff who don't work shifts
| A 46-person agency | |
| Base | $20.00 |
| 46 staff × $1.00 | $46.00 |
| Per month | $66.00 |
Optional add-ons
Add them if you want them.
Off by default. Nothing here is needed to run a schedule, and turning one on is your call, not a default we set for you.
Reliability scoring — $20/month
A rating out of 100 per staff member, built only from what a supervisor actually records: a late arrival, a call-off, a no-show. Attach a bonus to holding a standard for three, six or twelve months.
You choose whether schedulers see it, and separately whether staff see their own. Plenty of agencies keep it at management level, and that's a supported way to use it rather than a workaround.
Text messaging Coming
Text staff when a shift opens up at short notice, instead of a group message that half of them mute. Planned at $1 per staff member per month. Not available yet — we would rather say so than take money for it.
The trial
14 days, everything on, no card.
Full product, your real roster, reliability scoring included. If you decide against it, your schedule becomes read-only rather than disappearing — you can still see and print the next few days, because a house needs to know who is working tonight whether or not we got paid.
Scope
We hold nothing about the people you support.
No residents, no support plans, no service notes, no medication records. Staff, locations, positions and shifts — that is the whole database.
This is a deliberate line, not an unfinished feature. The moment a scheduling tool stores resident information it becomes a healthcare records system with everything that carries. Keeping it to workforce data keeps it simple to approve, simple to audit, and far less interesting to anyone who breaks in.
We also don't track certifications. You mark someone as a med aide; whether their certification is current is yours to know. All we do is make sure a med-aide slot is filled by someone you've marked as one.
Questions
The things people actually ask.
How long does it take to set up?
An afternoon. Add your locations and positions, add your staff, then build the first week — or save it as a weekly pattern and have the following weeks fill from it. You don't need to import anything to try it.
What happens at the end of the trial?
Everything becomes read-only and the schedule shows the next three days. Nothing is deleted, nobody is locked out, and the moment you activate it picks up exactly where it was. We don't think a group home should lose sight of tonight's roster over an invoice.
Can staff see each other's shifts?
No. A staff member sees their own schedule and how many colleagues are on with them — never who. That's enforced on the server, not just hidden on the screen. Schedulers and administrators see everything, as you'd expect.
Is there an app to install?
Not from an app store — it installs straight to a phone's home screen from the browser and then opens full screen like any other app. Three taps on iPhone, one on Android. Nothing to approve on a managed device.
Does it do payroll or a timeclock?
No. It schedules who should be where, and records when a supervisor marks someone late, called off, or absent. It does not clock people in and it does not pay anyone. If that's what you need, this isn't it.
What if we're audited?
You can print any week for any location or any individual, and every call-off and late arrival is recorded with the date it happened and who entered it. It's a staffing record, not a compliance product — but it is a real record rather than a whiteboard somebody wiped.
Who is behind it?
A small team that has worked in this field. That's also why the scope is narrow: we would rather do the schedule properly than do nine things adequately.
Try it on next week.
Fourteen days, your real roster, no card. The worst case is you print one clean schedule and walk away.
