Shift: Nurse Burnout Tracker

Shift is the burnout tracker built for nurses, paramedics, doctors, and shift workers — the people who notice everyone else's warning signs but never their own.

Most people don't see burnout coming until they crash. Your body shows the signs two to three weeks earlier — in your sleep, your heart rate variability, your activity. Shift reads those patterns from your Health data automatically and turns them into one daily burnout score.

No wearable required. No 30-question check-ins. Open Shift and see where you stand.

WHY SHIFT IS DIFFERENT

Most wellness apps make you do the work — manual logging, long quizzes, daily journaling. That's the last thing a nurse coming off a 12-hour shift wants. Shift flips it: your iPhone already has the data. We turn it into a number you can act on.

- Automatic daily burnout score from Health data (sleep, HRV, resting heart rate, activity)
- Four clear zones: Thriving, Watching, Strained, Overloaded
- 32 micro-actions, each under 3 minutes, matched to your current zone
- Healthcare-specific resets: pre-handover breath, between-patient reset, after a critical event, leave-it-at-the-door
- Patterns view: see whether shifts, sleep, or recovery days drive your burnout

BUILT FOR SHIFT WORK

- Pick your profession: nurse, doctor, paramedic, first responder, pilot, shift worker
- Pre-shift and post-shift check-ins matched to your schedule
- "Coming off nights" recognizes when you've just finished a night shift
- Score patterns broken down by shift type (Pro)

EVIDENCE-BASED

Shift uses the BAT-12 (Burnout Assessment Tool), validated by KU Leuven and used in nursing burnout research across many countries. Heart rate variability as a burnout signal is supported by peer-reviewed studies in ICU nurses and emergency clinicians. The full methodology is disclosed in the app.

Built by a solo Swiss developer who got tired of stress trackers that added more stress.

IMPORTANT

Shift is a self-awareness tool, not a medical device. It does not diagnose, treat, or prevent any condition. For clinical concerns — including persistent burnout, depression, or suicidal thoughts — contact a healthcare professional. In an emergency, call your local emergency number.
