Finding the one evening you are both free, without the negotiation
When one of you works a changing schedule the planning is annoying. When both of you do, it is arithmetic — two rotas, two sets of changes, and one question that takes ten minutes to answer every time somebody asks it.
The schedules this actually has to cope with
Freeish is built around these, not around a nine-to-five with the occasional exception.
Opposite shifts
One on days, one on nights, passing in the hallway. Common, and corrosive if nobody plans around it.
Different cycles
A four-on four-off against a Pitman rotation. The overlap exists; finding it by hand does not scale.
Weekend inversion
One of you works weekends. The other has them off. Neither week resembles the other.
Short-notice changes
One picks up a shift and the evening you had both protected disappears.
What it sounds like at home
- “We compare schedules every week and still get it wrong.”
- “By the time we find an evening we are both free, it is booked.”
- “One of us picks up a shift and the other finds out too late.”
- “We are both off on the same day about twice a month and we waste it.”
- “Planning anything with other people takes days.”
Where Freeish fits
The app finds the times you are both free rather than making you compare two calendars.
A change on either side updates the shared picture immediately.
Days you are both off are visible far enough ahead to actually use.
You each keep your own schedule, and private stays private.
One week, start to finish
Rae and Marco
- Rae works three 12s; Marco closes a restaurant four nights a week.
- They follow each other and both weeks land in one view.
- Two evenings next month are free for both, and they can see them now.
- Marco picks up a Saturday and Rae sees it without being told.
- They stop having the Sunday conversation.
