Rotation schedule generator

Type the people in order, pick how often the duty changes hands, and get the whole rotation: a table of who is on duty when, a message to paste into Slack, a calendar file (.ics) for Google Calendar, Outlook or Apple Calendar, and a CSV for a spreadsheet. It works for on call, support triage, standup host, code review, kitchen or any duty that takes turns.

Free, no sign-up. Everything runs in your browser; the names are not sent anywhere or stored.

Examples: On call, weekly Standup host, every weekday Code review duty, weekly Release captain, every 2 weeks Kitchen duty, monthly

Opened from a share link: this is the set-up someone sent you. Change anything and the link below changes with it.

Your rotation

The calendar file holds one all-day event per hand-over (no repeating rule), so every calendar app imports it the same way. Weekday duty is a one-day event; the other cadences last until the next hand-over. Monthly hand-overs on the 29th-31st move to the last day of shorter months.

How the order works

• The first hand-over names the first person, each later one the next person, and after the last person it starts again at the top.
• Weekday rotations skip Saturday and Sunday: Friday's person hands over to the next person on Monday.
• Someone away? Add their dates above: a hand-over on an away day goes to the next person who is not away, and the row names who was skipped. A pasted schedule cannot follow later changes; Dutyroll does the same skip at each hand-over from Mark away or /dutyroll away.

Let Slack post it for you

A pasted schedule goes stale the first time someone is ill or two people trade weeks. Dutyroll posts this in Slack automatically, with Skip and Swap: every week, every weekday, every 2 weeks or every month, at your time, in your channel, naming who is on duty and who is next. Skip moves the turn to the next person and Swap with next trades two turns. Like this generator, a monthly hand-over on the 29th-31st falls on the last day of shorter months.
