Workers with rotating shifts struggle to keep their personal calendars updated when work schedules change, currently relying on manual entry from various schedule formats.
Existing calendar apps do not automatically ingest work schedules from employer-provided formats like PDFs, screenshots, or spreadsheets; manual entry is time-consuming and error-prone when shifts change.
