ShyftForce isn't on the App Store or Google Play (yet) — but you can add it to your phone in 10 seconds and use it just like any other app. It even gets push notifications. Here's how, by phone type.
On iPhone (Safari)
- 1
- Open Safari on your iPhone (not Chrome — has to be Safari) and go to app.shyftforce.com.
- 2
- Sign in to your account.
- 3
- Tap the Share button at the bottom of the screen (the square with an arrow pointing up).
- 4
- Scroll down and tap Add to Home Screen.
- 5
- Tap Add. You'll see a ShyftForce icon on your home screen — tap it like any app.
On Android (Chrome)
- 1
- Open Chrome on your Android phone and go to app.shyftforce.com.
- 2
- Sign in.
- 3
- Tap the three dots in the top-right corner.
- 4
- Tap Add to Home screen (sometimes shown as "Install app").
- 5
- Tap Install. The icon appears on your home screen.
💡 Why bother?
Once installed, ShyftForce opens full-screen (no browser bar), works offline for viewing your schedule, and can send you push notifications when shifts change or coverage is needed. It's the same as a regular app from the store — the only difference is you got it in 10 seconds without an App Store review.
Turning on notifications
After you install, open the app and go to Settings → Security & privacy → Get alerts on this device. Tap the Allow alerts button. Your phone may ask you again to confirm — say yes. You'll now get alerts for shift offers, schedule changes, and time-off decisions.
Doesn't work on iOS 16.3 or older
Push notifications need iPhone iOS 16.4 or newer. If you're on an older iPhone, you can still install the app and see your schedule — you just won't get push alerts. Email and SMS still work.
