How do you handle employee availability for rotating shifts?

I’m building a small app called UnbindShift for teams that work rotating shifts.

The problem I’m trying to solve is pretty simple: employees need an easy way to say when they’re available, and managers need to turn that into a schedule without endless messages, spreadsheets, or last-minute changes.

It’s still early, so I’m mostly trying to understand how different teams handle this today.

If you work shifts or manage a team, I’d be interested to know:

  • How do you currently collect availability?
  • What’s the most annoying part of creating the schedule?
  • Are you using spreadsheets, WhatsApp, dedicated software, or something else?

I’ve also put up a small waitlist for anyone who wants to try it when it’s ready:

Any feedback is useful, especially if you think I’m solving the wrong problem.
