A planner for a week that doesn’t start on Monday.
Rotating rosters, FIFO swings, night duty, four on four off. Every planner assumes you work weekdays. Dune Seven was built by shift workers, so it doesn’t.
My roster comes first.
Set a routine to repeat every second day, every fourth, every eighth, from the day your block begins. Set the pattern once and it travels with your roster, block after block.

Open any other planner and try to set a routine. Your options are “daily” or “every Monday”. Neither is your life. Two day shifts, two nights, four off. Two weeks on site, one week home. When the tool can’t hold that shape, the rebuilding falls to you, one more thing to carry into a job that already asks enough.
Every routine previews on a calendar, so you see exactly which days it lands on before you save it. Weekdays are one tap away for the household around you. Built for FIFO swings, hospital rotations, station rosters and factory shifts, because that’s what we work ourselves.
Every routine carries its pattern.
Manage it, stop it, or tap I’m Stuck, from the task itself. Useful on hour thirteen.

A routine task shows its pattern in plain words. Stop it from today and past days stay as they were. When a task has become a wall, I’m Stuck breaks it into three to five steps you can start.
Energy that moves like yours does.
Coming off four nights? Pick Low, and the whole app quiets down around you. No wearable, no algorithm deciding for you.

Shift work makes a mess of the flat eight-productive-hours day every other app assumes. Dune Seven plans around the energy you actually have: Flow, Low or Focus, chosen by you. You know your energy. We just plan around it.
Who this is for.
- FIFO and DIDO crewsPlanning around swings.
- Nurses and doctorsOn rotating rosters.
- Paramedics, police and firefightersWorking blocks of days and nights.
- Factory, warehouse and mining crewsOn rotation.
- The household around a rosterHolding it together around a partner’s pattern.
And every combination of the above. Shift work collides with mental load, with postpartum, with ADHD, and a planner should hold all of it at once.
Built on a roster like yours.
Dune Seven’s founder, Angela Kocek, is an emergency services worker and a Navy veteran who has lived on a roster her whole working life.

Repeating routines wasn’t designed from a feature checklist. It was built from roster blocks, night shifts and years of watching every planner on the market assume a week she’d never worked. When we say built shift-worker-first, we mean the interval repeat came before the weekday picker.
Repeating routines is part of Dune Seven Pro. The core planner is free, forever.
Shift work questions.
Is there actually a planner app for shift workers?
Shift calendar apps exist, but they only show your roster. They don’t plan your life around it. Dune Seven is a full daily planner (priorities, routines, habits, journal, energy modes) where roster-pattern repeating is the primary mode, not an afterthought.
Does it handle FIFO swings like two weeks on, one off?
Yes. My roster repeats on any interval from a start date, so a fourteen-on, seven-off swing is set once and carries forward. Change rosters, change the pattern. Your routines follow.
What about rotating day and night blocks?
Set separate routines against the same roster interval: a wind-down that lands after your night block, training that lands on days off. Each previews on the calendar so you can see where it falls before you save.
Do I need a wearable or any equipment?
No. You choose your energy each day. Dune Seven works with what you already own: your phone and your self-knowledge.
