What it actually fixes
Not a feature list. These are the sentences people say before they go looking for something like this.
“I don’t want to text my schedule every week.”
Photograph the posted schedule once. Everyone who follows you sees it, and sees every change after that without another message.
“My family never knows when I’m working.”
They stop asking, because they can look. No account gymnastics, no group chat to scroll back through.
“My partner and I work opposite schedules.”
Freeish works out the days you are both actually free, instead of the two of you comparing rotas every Sunday.
“I’m tired of sending screenshots.”
A screenshot is out of date the moment a shift moves. This is always the current version.
“My parents want to know when they can babysit.”
They see the days that need covering and offer, rather than waiting to be asked.
How it worksOne nurse, one month, one photograph
- 1
The schedule goes up on the unit noticeboard
A month at a time, in a grid built for the ward rather than for anyone at home.
- 2
She photographs it on the way out
Freeish reads the shifts off the picture. She checks what it found, fixes anything it misread, and saves the month in about a minute.
- 3
Her husband sees the three 12s that week
He takes the school run on all three, without a conversation about it.
- 4
Her mum sees the night block
And knows not to ring before two in the afternoon.
- 5
She picks up an extra Saturday
Nobody has to be told. It is already on their view, and the dentist appointment on Tuesday stays private.
Private by designYou decide what your people see.
Every event is public or private, and the choice is yours. Private events never reach your circle, and nobody can see anything from people they were not invited by. It is enforced in the database, not just tucked out of sight.
- One-directional. No feeds, no follower counts, no strangers.
- Invite links expire on their own — single-use, seven days.
- No directory. Nobody can look you up.
- No connection to any employer system, ever.
Visible to your people
SMaPSam, Mum & Priya will see this.
Turn it off and it’s private — only you will ever see it.
Questions people actually ask
Can Freeish really read a photo of my schedule?
Yes — that is the main way people get a week in. Photograph the printed schedule on the wall, or screenshot the app your employer uses, and it pulls out the shifts. It shows you what it found so you can fix anything it misread before saving; it does not save a guess silently.
Can my spouse see all my shifts?
Only the ones you mark public. Every event is public or private, and private means nobody else sees it — not the event, not that anything is there at all. That is enforced in the database, not hidden in the interface.
Can I keep appointments private?
Yes. Mark them private and they stay yours. A lot of people share their work shifts and keep everything else to themselves.
Does everyone need an account?
To follow you day to day, yes — it is free. If somebody would rather not install anything, you can send a calendar link instead and your shifts appear in whatever calendar they already use.
Does it work with rotating schedules?
Yes, including the ones that do not fit a weekly pattern — 4-on-4-off, DuPont, Kelly, 24/48. Set the rotation once and it keeps generating rather than being re-entered every month.
Can my employer see this?
No. Freeish has no connection to any employer system and no directory. Nobody can look you up, and only people you personally invite see anything.
Can students use it?
Yes — classes, shifts and deadlines in one place is a common way to use it. There is a
guide for students.
Can I import a printed schedule?
That is the case it was built for. Printed rotas, whiteboards, screenshots of scheduling apps and spreadsheet grids all import the same way.
Free… ish.
Ready when you are.
Now on iPhone — Android coming soon. Free to start. Free to share. It just wants your week to be a little less of a mystery.
