For most shift workers, the 90 minutes after the shift — getting home, winding down, actually sleeping — is the hardest part of the day. AfterShift is built for exactly that.
Get notified when we hit the App Store & Google Play:
Free. No card. Built for the way you actually work.
Present tense. Because you're probably living it.
You sign out. The sun hits you in the face after 13 hours. You grab your bag and walk to the car park.
Driving home. The radio is on. Someone is talking about the stock market. Traffic heading in the direction you just came from. There's a list running in the background — did you document that? Was she okay when you left?
Home. You pull the blackout blind. It's not quite dark enough. A magpie outside starts going. You lie down. You're exhausted. You close your eyes. Your brain doesn't close.
Staring at the ceiling. 45 minutes. Phone. Scroll. Put it down. Pick it up again.
You fall asleep. Finally.
Same car park. Same sun. One difference.
Before you start the engine, Tonight's Plan is there. Your sleep window is 7:45am – 3:30pm, calculated from your actual roster and 21-day rhythm. It knows you had a 10-hour shift. It knows the turnaround is short.
Home. Blackout blind down. You open the wind-down. 18 minutes. Breathing — longer exhales, your shoulders actually release. Body scan. Soundscape: rain on a roof, no voice. Then three questions about the shift. The app builds a reset session from your answers — calibrated to how tonight actually went, not how last week went.
Asleep.
Slow-fade alarm. Not a jolt. You have work again at 6pm and you feel like you can do it.
No credit card. No commitment. Just a better plan for what comes after the shift.
If you've nodded at any of these, this app was built for you.
We'd rather earn your trust with honesty than lose it with hype.
Six features. All of them built around the 90 minutes after your shift.
Your specific sleep window each shift, built on a 21-day adaptive rhythm that learns your roster and gradually stabilises your body clock. Not "aim for 8 hours." An actual time.
A structured 15–25 minute decompression. Breathing, body scan, soundscape. Designed for someone genuinely wired — not someone mildly stressed about emails.
Voiceless breathing tool. Just the pattern. No narrator. No ambient music you didn't ask for. When your brain is finally starting to quiet, this is what you need.
Answer 3 quick questions about your shift — how heavy it was, what's still running in your head, how your body feels. Then Nicole, AfterShift's AI reset guide, builds you a personalised guided reset from your answers. Not a generic meditation with your name on it. Over 21 days she learns your patterns, so each reset gets closer to what actually works for you.
Shows you what's actually hurting your sleep: caffeine timing, light exposure, short turnarounds. Your data, in plain English. Not guesses — your patterns.
Tell it your role; the language, defaults, and content shift to match how your job actually works. No generic "good morning" when it's your 3pm.
Sometimes you need to offload before you can sleep — not a phone call, just somewhere to put it. AfterShift's companion understands shift work: rosters, handover stress, the particular weight of a bad night. It's not a therapist, and it won't pretend to be. It's a conversation that helps you process the shift so your brain can actually let it go.
"I've used every sleep app going. None of them understood I don't go to bed at night. AfterShift is the first one that actually fit my life."
"I downloaded it expecting to delete it after a week. The Tonight's Plan knew I'd just done a run of nights transitioning back to days. The window it gave me was right. Slept better on the first transition than I had in months."
"My 4-night slump was directly linked to caffeine timing on day 2. That one change made nights 3 and 4 tolerable. I sent the app to three other guys on my crew."
"The wind-down got me from wired to asleep in 20 minutes. Every single shift."
Choose your role when you set up. The app adapts to how your job actually works — not a generic version with your name on it.

Yes. That's what it's built for. Set your pattern; it updates your sleep window each cycle. Change it anytime if you swap shifts.
