What’s Included

Built for How Shift Work Actually Works

Real shift work isn’t simple — your rota rotates, your rates change, and on-call time doesn’t count the same as hours worked. Overtime Live handles all of it.

📅

Recurring Shift Patterns

Build your rotation once — 7-day, 14-day, 28-day, or any custom cycle — and the app auto-populates your schedule for months ahead. Override individual dates without breaking the underlying pattern.

2026 Update

🔔

On-Call Days

Log the full on-call window, then sub-log individual call-outs within it. On-call allowance and call-out pay calculated separately — which is how NHS and emergency service contracts actually work.

2026 Update

🎯

Yearly Goals

Name a target — a holiday, a savings amount, an hours milestone — and set a figure. The app tracks your progress in real time throughout the year with push notifications at 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%.

2026 Update

📊

Shift History & Statistics

Every shift logged automatically. View total earnings, total hours, averages, personal bests and monthly breakdowns. Filter to overtime-only shifts. Edit any past shift if something was wrong at the time.

🏆

Achievements

Twenty milestones across five categories — shift count, total hours, earnings, consistency streaks, and specialist achievements like All-Nighter or Weekend Warrior — all earned automatically from your shift history.

🔒

Private by Design

Everything stays on your device. No account, no cloud sync, no server. Export a backup file whenever you want and restore it on a new phone in seconds. Your earnings data belongs to you.

FAQ

Common Questions

How long does it take to set up Overtime Live?

Under 60 seconds. Download the app, enter your hourly rate, and tap start. No account creation, no sign-up, no email verification — you’re tracking earnings immediately.

What makes the Lock Screen earnings feature unique?

Overtime Live is the only free overtime tracker that displays live earnings directly on your iPhone Lock Screen using iOS Live Activities. Your earnings update every second without opening the app — a feature no competitor offers for free. It also supports Dynamic Island on iPhone 14 Pro and later. Read the full feature guide.

Can I use different pay rates during a single shift?

Yes. You can switch rates mid-shift — for example, moving from standard time to time-and-a-half when your overtime threshold kicks in. The app calculates earnings accurately across all rate changes in the same shift. Six built-in rate types are included: Normal (1×), Time and a Third (1.33×), Time and a Half (1.5×), Double Time (2×), Unpaid (0×), and Custom.

Does Overtime Live support NHS Agenda for Change pay rates?

Yes. Time and a Third (1.33×) is the standard AfC overtime rate and is built in. You can also set custom rates for unsocial hours enhancements — nights, Saturdays, Sundays, bank holidays — per shift or per recurring pattern. Current AfC pay scales by band are at overtimelive.app/pay-scales.

Can I track on-call shifts separately from regular shifts?

Yes. On-Call Days is a dedicated log type. You record the full on-call window, then sub-log individual call-outs within it. The app calculates on-call allowance pay separately from call-out pay — which is how NHS and emergency service contracts are structured. This is available in the 2026 update.

Can I set up a recurring shift pattern like a 4-on-4-off rota?

Yes. The Pattern Designer lets you build any rotation — 7-day, 14-day, 28-day, or a custom cycle length. Set it once and the app auto-populates your schedule for weeks or months ahead. Pay rates and unsocial hours enhancements carry over automatically to every generated shift. You can override individual dates without breaking the underlying rotation.

How do Yearly Goals work?

Give a goal a name — a holiday, a savings target, or an hours milestone — and set the figure in pounds or hours. The app tracks your progress in real time across the year and sends push notifications at 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%. Goals also appear on an iOS home screen widget.

Does Overtime Live work on Android?

Yes. All core features — real-time earnings, shift history, recurring patterns, on-call days, statistics, goals, and achievements — work on both iOS and Android. The Lock Screen Live Activities feature is iOS-exclusive (requires iOS 16.1 or later).

Is my data private? Does it go to the cloud?

All shift data is stored locally on your device. Nothing is sent to a server. There is no account, no cloud sync, and no third-party data sharing. You can export a backup file at any time and restore it on a new phone.

Is Overtime Live really free?

Yes. The core app is completely free — no subscription, no trial period, no paywall on any main feature. There is an optional one-time purchase to remove ads. You can also unlock ad-free permanently by referring 10 friends, or get 30 days ad-free by referring 3 friends.
