Built for the Patch.
Built for Your Life.
Canada's first app built for oilsands rotation workers and their families.
Shift scheduling, family connection, money management, wellbeing, crew chat, and Fort McMurray local life — all in one place. Free for workers. Enterprise licensing available for employers.
The App
Everything a rotation worker needs
One daily habit. Six powerful modules. Built to work offline in camp when signal drops.
The Problem
Rotation life is hard. No app was built for it.
University of Alberta research and Globe and Mail reporting confirm a documented crisis among oilsands commuter workers. ShiftBuddy was built to address every single gap.
Difficulty maintaining relationships during 14, 21, or 28-day rotations away from home
Loneliness and poor morale during camp stays — up to 6 hours of unstructured downtime nightly
Poor financial habits despite high wages — many earn $100K–$180K but retire with little savings
Sleep disruption from 12-hour rotating shifts leading to chronic fatigue
No single tool designed for their unique lifestyle — existing apps only solve scheduling
Six Modules
Everything in one app
Each module solves a real, documented problem for rotation workers. Together they create a daily habit that workers actually open.
Shift Hub
The daily habit hook. Set your rotation pattern once and the app auto-generates your full year calendar.
Family Sync
Keeps families connected during long rotations. Partners and kids get a free companion app.
Money Manager
Addresses a documented crisis — high earners with poor savings habits and no structure.
Wellbeing
Backed by documented oilsands mental health data. The module that gets employer attention.
Fort Mac Life
Makes ShiftBuddy a true Fort McMurray companion — not just a work tool.
Crew Network
Auto-matches workers by employer, rotation pattern, and site to build real crew connections.

Why Suncor, CNRL, and Syncrude should care
The business case is clear. ShiftBuddy gives HR and HSE managers data and tools they've never had — while workers actually use it daily.
