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.
Your week is a pattern, not a template. If your planner can’t hold that shape, you end up rebuilding your week by hand, every single block.
Shift worker planner
Why weekday planners break on a roster
Open any 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. Recovery days that land on a Tuesday one block and a Saturday the next. 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.
What Dune Seven does differently
My roster comes first
Set a routine to repeat every second day, every fourth, every eighth — any interval, from the day your block begins. Your training, your meal prep, your sleep wind-down after nights: set the pattern once and it travels with your roster, block after block. Built for FIFO swings, hospital rotations, station rosters and factory shifts, because that’s what we work ourselves.
Weekdays come second, one tap away
Working Monday to Friday, or planning around a partner who does? Weekday mode holds the same routines to a weekday rhythm instead.
See it before you commit
Every routine previews on a calendar, so you can see exactly which days it lands on before you save it. No guessing whether “every 4 days” means what you think it means.
Energy that moves like yours does
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. Coming off four nights? Pick Low, and the whole app quiets down around you. No wearable, no algorithm deciding for you.
Who this is for
- FIFO and DIDO crews planning around swings
- Nurses and doctors on rotating rosters
- Paramedics, police and firefighters working blocks of days and nights
- Factory, warehouse and mining crews on rotation
- Anyone holding a household together around a partner’s roster
And every combination of the above — because shift work collides with mental load, with postpartum, with ADHD, and a planner should hold all of it at once.
Built by a firefighter, on a roster like yours
Dune Seven’s founder, Angela Kocek, has been a serving firefighter for more than ten years, with naval service before that. Repeating routines wasn’t designed from a feature checklist — it was built from station rosters, 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.

Questions
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 indefinitely. Change rosters, change the pattern — your routines follow.
What about rotating day/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. Energy in Dune Seven is chosen by you, not read off a sensor. Nothing to charge, nothing tracking you through a night shift.
Is this a rostering app for managers?
No — Dune Seven is a personal planner for the worker, not workforce software for the employer. It plans your life around the roster you’re given.
What does it cost?
The core planner is free forever. Repeating routines is part of Pro at A$69.99 a year or A$12.99 a month, alongside the Energy Mirror, unlimited I’m Stuck and your complete history — or Lifetime, once. See pricing.
