About this app
What Nightshift does
Nightshift is a hospital-shift companion for Certified Nursing Assistants, Patient Care Technicians, and aides — the people who hold a 7p–7a shift up. It's not an exam prep app and it's not a charting tool. It's the things you'd write on a clipboard if you had time: rounds reminders, a patient tally, a vitals quick-card, a handoff template, a break timer that actually works, and a 30-second end-of-shift wind-down ritual. What's in v1: — Tonight's roster: enter the room numbers + 1-line notes (DNR, fall risk, fluid restriction, contact precautions, behavioral, hard-of-hearing) for the patients on your assignment. Stays on your phone, not the hospital network. — Rounds reminders: set an interval (1 hr default), get a calm tap-to-confirm prompt for each room. No alarm, no overhead. — Vitals quick-card: normal-range cheat-sheet (HR / BP / RR / SpO2 / temp by age), with one-line decision-support copy ("call RN if SpO2 < 92 sustained"). Sourced from public AACN + NIH materials. — Handoff template: SBAR-formatted note builder, one screen, voice-dictation supported. Generates a single message you can text yourself or read aloud to the day-shift CNA. — Break timer: a 30-min break window with a gentle reminder at 25 to wrap whatever you're eating. The break you don't take is the one you regret at 0500. — Wind-down: a 30-second four-question end-of-shift reflection. Saved on your device. Free. There is no paid tier.

Why it exists
The problem
US faces 1.8M unfilled nursing aide positions by 2030 (BLS). The work is hard, the shifts are long, and existing tools are either (a) exam-prep apps for the credential (saturated market), or (b) employer-installed charting systems (rigid, slow). The personal pocket companion for the actual shift — round timer, handoff helper, break reminder — is not on the App Store.
What's different
How Nightshift stands out
Nightshift is the only iOS app whose primary surface is a 12-hour live shift, not exam preparation. Compared to dozens of CNA exam-prep apps (Mometrix, Pocket Prep), Nightshift sits beside the work itself.
