  5. Tap Add in the top-right corner.

What You Get With the App

  • 📅 Your schedule — viewable even when offline
  • 🔔 Push notifications — get notified of new bookings, responsibilities, and referral rewards
  • ⚡ Faster load times — app caches your data for instant access
  • 📱 Full-screen experience — no browser bars, feels like a real app

Enabling Push Notifications

After installing the app, you may be asked to Allow Notifications. Tap Allow to receive alerts for new assignments, overdue responsibilities, and referral bonuses. You can turn these off in your phone's notification settings at any time.

📲 Most employees find it easier to check their schedule and responsibilities through the app rather than the browser. We recommend installing it on your first day.
