# Overtime Live — Shift Tracker

> Free iOS and Android app for shift workers to track overtime earnings in real time. Built by Andy Enrique. Primary market: UK shift workers in NHS, police, security, retail, logistics, and hospitality. Also available in Germany, India, and the Philippines.

Overtime Live solves a specific problem: shift workers cannot easily see what they have earned mid-shift, and they often discover payslip errors only after the fact. The app provides a real-time earnings counter, a Lock Screen Live Activity (iOS), and a complete shift history — all stored on-device with no account required.

## Core Product

- **Name:** Overtime Live — Shift Tracker
- **Developer:** Andy Enrique
- **Version:** 3.1.1 (July 2026)
- **Platforms:** iOS (16.1+), Android
- **Price:** Free (optional one-time No Ads purchase)
- **App Store:** https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/overtime-live-shift-tracker/id6755075589
- **Google Play:** https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=uk.andyhq.overtimelive
- **Download page:** https://overtimelive.app/download/
- **Support:** support@overtimelive.app
- **X (Twitter):** https://x.com/OvertimeLiveApp

## Key Differentiators

1. **Lock Screen Live Activities (iOS exclusive, free)** — real-time earnings visible on iPhone Lock Screen and Dynamic Island without opening the app. No other free overtime tracker offers this. Extended to Apple Watch in v3.1.
2. **Zero friction** — no account, no sign-up, tracking starts in under 60 seconds from download
3. **Shift data stays on-device** — all shift/earnings data is stored locally, never uploaded to a server. The only third-party data sharing is Google AdMob (standard ad SDK: device info, usage data, location if enabled), and only for users on the free ad-supported tier — the one-time No Ads purchase removes it entirely. Full detail: https://overtimelive.app/privacy/
4. **On-Call Days** — dedicated log type that separates on-call allowance from call-out pay (NHS and emergency services specific)
5. **Recurring Shift Patterns** — build any rotation once, app auto-populates schedule for months ahead
