A rota in, distraction-free shifts out.
Work Mode sits between the schedule you already keep and the phones in your team's pockets. Set the rules once; every shift applies them.
Work Policies and Break Rules
A Work Policy says what pauses during shifts; Break Rules say how breaks behave. Both are reusable and versioned, so a change rolls out to every phone it applies to.
- Restrict categories such as social media, games, entertainment, streaming, video, shopping and dating.
- Optionally let employees add specific apps from their own phone; you only ever see how many.
- Break length, breaks per shift, minimum gap, and whether everything, some categories or nothing relaxes.
- Precedence that is easy to reason about: employee, then team, then location, then organisation default.
Scheduling that fits the rota you have
Create shifts by local time in each location's zone, repeat them, or import a CSV and fix problems before anything is saved.
- Overnight shifts, daylight-saving changes and multiple time zones handled correctly.
- CSV import with column mapping, employee matching and a downloadable errors file.
- Rota integrations coming soon for Planday, Deputy, 7shifts, When I Work, Rotaready and Homebase.
Live status, honestly scoped
The overview shows who should be in Work Mode and whether their phone agrees. Each badge is derived from a short list of operational signals, and nothing else.
- Ready, Working, On break, Permissions missing, Sync delayed, Offline, Needs attention.
- An activity feed of operational events with timestamps and no free text.
- Manager overrides and every change you make are recorded in the audit log.
Every badge a manager can see
- Ready: Setup is complete and the device is connected. No shift is active yet (a shift may be about to start).
- Off shift: Connected and working normally; no shift is active, so no restrictions are applied.
- Working: A shift is active but the device has not confirmed Work Mode yet, or a manager override has lifted restrictions.
- Work Mode active: A shift is active and the device has confirmed that Work Mode is running.
- On break: The employee is on a break the device has confirmed; restrictions are relaxed as the Break Rules allow.
- Permissions missing: Screen Time authorisation is not approved or no apps have been selected. Ask the employee to finish setup in the app.
- Sync delayed: The device has not checked in recently: over 2 hours during a shift, or over 24 hours otherwise.
- Offline: The device has not checked in for more than 72 hours.
- Needs attention: The device reported an error, its clock is more than 5 minutes out, or during a shift its state has disagreed with the schedule for over 10 minutes.
Employees, locations and teams
Add people once, group them by site and team, and invite them with a company code. Deactivate anyone in one click when they leave.
- Company join code plus personal invite codes when names clash.
- Locations with their own time zones; teams that can sit within a location.
- Owner, admin and manager roles for the dashboard, each with the right permissions.
