Company

Your whole workplace, in one tap.

A Company is your whole workplace in one place — everyone's live schedule, pulled in one action. Ask a colleague for the Company Code, or start one yourself. It's still your personal app: your employer isn't involved, and nobody pays to be in it.

One place for everyone's schedule

Stop adding colleagues one at a time.

Until now you built your pool by hand — one calendar link per coworker, or a team invite at a time. A Company replaces that with a single pull: the whole workplace roster, everyone's live schedule, in one action.

The whole roster at once

Join with the code and ShiftHawk downloads every schedule in the Company — a department of forty arrives as easily as a crew of four. Big roster on cellular? It asks before using your data.

Your copy stays yours

You can change any member's name, abbreviation, colour, and schedule link on your own device — nothing you change affects anyone else's ShiftHawk.

Built for swaps

Pulled colleagues land straight in your pool — the same pool the swap engine searches. One code in, and the engine can hunt the whole workplace for your day off.

Already added some coworkers by hand? A one-time merge review reconciles them — exact matches merge on their own, and anything uncertain waits for your call. Nobody gets doubled.
The Company Code

One code. Treat it like a password.

Every Company has a short code — six to eight characters, no confusable letters, shown in a typeface where nothing can be misread.

Starting one

  1. Name your Company — the ward, the station, the restaurant, the crew.
  2. Save the code. It's shown exactly once, and the app won't continue until you confirm you've saved it. It cannot be recovered later — not even by ShiftHawk.
  3. Verify your phone with a quick text message, and you're the admin.

Joining one

  1. Type the code a colleague gave you and preview what you're joining.
  2. Verify your phone — a six-digit code by text, or a voice call if you prefer.
  3. Pull the roster. Everyone's schedule lands in your pool, ready to search.
Codes can't be fished for: every wrong guess gets the same answer — "That code didn't match." — and the code itself is never stored as-is, only as a scrambled fingerprint no database dump can reverse.
Real colleagues, verified

A roster of real people — not a contact list.

Everyone in a Company verified a phone number to get there, and everyone claims their own schedule exactly once. That's what makes the roster trustworthy enough to swap against.

A quick text, once

Verification is a six-digit code by text message — resend after thirty seconds, or ask for a voice call instead. No passwords to invent, nothing new to remember.

"This is me"

Find your own schedule on the roster and claim it. The first claim is free, and you get 24 hours to correct a mis-tap at no cost.

Changing it later

Switching which schedule is "you" after that takes a fresh phone verification and costs $9.99. If someone claims that schedule first while you're paying, the charge becomes a credit — never money lost.

Adding schedules, calmly

Nothing lands in your calendar without a yes.

A Company grows as members add schedules to it — but growth never steamrolls anyone's app.

An inbox, not an ambush

Schedules other members contribute arrive in a badged inbox where you accept or decline each one — and declining is reversible. Nothing auto-enters your calendar.

The admin sets the rules

By default members can contribute only their own schedule. The admin can open it up to group members' schedules too — the cautious setting is the starting one.

Honesty when links break

If a calendar link you contributed stops working, it's paused and you're told — plainly, and only about your own links, never anyone else's.

Shared on purpose, private by design

What a Company shares — and what it never does.

A Company is a shared workspace, and the app says so up front, before you create or join one. Here is the same honesty:

Anyone holding the code can see

  • The names and shift schedules of everyone in the Company.
  • Your ShiftHawk name and verified phone number, once you claim a schedule.
  • Who added each schedule.

What never gets shown or kept in the open

  • Your scheduling link itself is encrypted and is never shown to other members.
  • Phone numbers and calendar links are stored scrambled, sealed and unsealed only inside the server — never readable from the database.
  • The Company Code is never stored as-is — only a fingerprint that can't be reversed.
Leaving is unconditional: "Leave Company" wipes the Company's data from your phone first — it even works offline. And any member can ask for a schedule to come off the Company; approval drops it from everyone's calendar on the next sync.

Treat the Company Code like a password — only share it with people you work with. And as everywhere in ShiftHawk: your employer isn't involved, there's nothing for your workplace to install, and ShiftHawk stores no patient or health information.

FAQ

Company, answered

Does my employer run this?

No. Any member of a workplace can start a Company — it belongs to the people in it, not to the organisation. There's nothing for your workplace to install, approve, or pay for. ShiftHawk stays what it's always been: your personal app.

What does it cost?

Creating a Company is free. Joining is free. Pulling the whole roster is free. The only paid action in Company is changing which schedule is "you" after your one free claim — $9.99, with a 24-hour window to fix a mistake at no cost.

What if the code gets lost?

It can't be recovered — from anyone, including ShiftHawk, because it's never stored in a readable form. Whoever created the Company confirmed they saved it before the app would continue; ask them. That's the price of a code nobody can steal from a server.

Can I leave?

Any time, no questions. Leaving wipes the Company's data from your phone first, unconditionally — it even works with no signal. Your own schedule and everything you set up outside the Company stay untouched.

Bring your workplace in.

Ask a colleague for the Company Code — or be the one who starts it. Either way it's free, and the swap you've been chasing gets a whole roster to hide in.
