Reads your own calendar
Schedule check
Paste the calendar link from your scheduling app, or add the calendar file, to see your hours a week, your night shifts, the quick returns between shifts and which shifts carry the most fatigue risk.
The schedule check reads a calendar link once and keeps it only if you choose to save it to a free account. A calendar file you add stays on your device.
