Accessing Shiftlab on Your Mobile Device

Overview

The Shiftlab Mobile App is now available for download on the App Store (iOS) and Google Play Store (Android)! You need to reach out to Shiftlab Support for enablement to see it within the iOS and Android store. Email us here: [email protected]

The app gives you quick, convenient access to your schedule, open shifts, and day-to-day details — right from your phone.

Not ready to download yet? You can still access Shiftlab through your mobile browser and add it to your home screen as a shortcut. This is not the same as the app, but it works great as a quick-access option.

Instructions for both options are included below.


Option 1: Download the Shiftlab Mobile App (Recommended)

The Shiftlab Mobile App is the best way to access Shiftlab on your phone. Download it directly from your device's app store.

Option 2: Add Shiftlab to Your Home Screen (Web App Shortcut)

If you prefer not to download the app, you can still access Shiftlab quickly by adding it as a shortcut on your home screen through your mobile browser.

⚠️ This is not the Shiftlab app.

It is a browser-based shortcut that creates an app-like icon on your device. It will not appear in your App Store or Google Play library.

When To Use This

Use these steps when:

  • You want fast browser-based access without downloading the app

  • You're logging into Shiftlab on your phone's browser for the first time

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Open your mobile browser and navigate to your company's Shiftlab URL.

    • The URL uses your Company Name in this format: [CompanyName].myshiftlab.app

    • If you don't know your company's URL, reach out to your Company Administrator.

  2. Log in to Shiftlab.

  3. You may see a prompt: "Add Shiftlab to your home screen." Tap the option to add it instantly.

  4. If no prompt appears, add it manually:

    • Navigate to your browser's menu or share icon.

    • Select "Add to Home Screen" and follow the on-screen prompts to complete setup.

  5. Tap the Shiftlab icon on your home screen to open it anytime — no browser navigation needed.

Note: Your login information will be saved, and you'll remain logged in for 7 days.
