Night shift alarm

Wake up for nights like your job depends on it. Because it does.

Daytime sleep is light, broken and easy to overshoot. ShiftFlowr's night shift alarm follows your rotation, fires at full volume even when the phone is silenced for daytime sleep, and reminds you when to leave for the evening commute.

The night worker's problem

Sleeping through a 22:00 start is easier than anyone admits.

You finally drop off at nine in the morning, the phone is on silent so the world does not wake you, and the alarm that was supposed to lift you at six in the evening flashes quietly instead of ringing. ShiftFlowr's alarm is built for exactly this: it overrides silent and Do Not Disturb on Android, and shows the shift name and start time full-screen.

How it works for nights

An alarm that knows when your nights are

Follows the rotation

The alarm is attached to your shift pattern. When the roster moves from nights back to earlies or days, the wake-up time moves with it - nothing to re-set after a night run.

Breaks daytime silence

Full volume through silent mode and Do Not Disturb, so muting the phone for daytime sleep never blocks the wake-up. More on the alarm on silent page.

Evening leave reminder

The leave-for-work alert fires your commute time before each start - a 21:15 departure for a 22:00 shift is handled like a 05:30 departure for an early. See the leave-for-work alarm.

Every shift type covered

The same system handles earlies, lates, back shifts and on call - not only nights.

More than an alarm

The roster underneath keeps the whole week honest

Night workers live on borrowed time: borrowed mornings, borrowed weekends, borrowed sleep. The alarm matters because the schedule underneath it is right - ShiftFlowr fills your calendar from your rotation months ahead, so the wake-up logic is never working from a shift you typed in wrong at 3 am. Read more about night shifts themselves, or the whole system on the work alarm app page.

Frequently asked questions

Night shift alarm - questions answered

What time should I wake up for a night shift?
Most night workers wake 2-4 hours before the start, leaving time to eat, get ready and commute. ShiftFlowr applies your preferred wake-up offset to every night in the roster automatically.
How do I stop sleeping through night shift alarms?
Daytime sleep is lighter, so the fix is a stronger alarm, not more of them. On Android, ShiftFlowr's alarm fires at full volume even on silent or Do Not Disturb and takes over the screen.
Does the alarm adjust when my rotation changes?
Yes. It is tied to your shift pattern, so the wake-up time moves when the roster moves - nothing to re-set after a night run.
Can it remind me when to leave for a night shift?
Yes. The leave-for-work reminder fires your commute time before each start, so evening departures are covered the same way as dawn ones.
Is it free?
Yes - completely free on Android during early access, every feature unlocked.

Nights are hard enough. The alarm should be easy.

Set the rotation once. Every night start gets its own wake-up and leave-home reminder.
