Frequently Asked Questions

How does iCloud sync work?
NeatShift automatically syncs your data across all devices signed into the same Apple Account via iCloud. Make sure iCloud is enabled for NeatShift in Settings > [your name] > iCloud > Apps Using iCloud.
Can I share my household with someone?
Yes! Go to Settings > Household and tap the Share button. The other person will receive an iCloud sharing invitation. Once accepted, you'll both see and manage the same tasks in real time.
How does load balancing work?
NeatShift looks at your weekly capacity (minutes per day) and automatically spreads tasks so no single day is overloaded. Tasks with flexible recurrence get shifted to lighter days. You'll see a "smoothed" badge on tasks that have been moved.
What happens when I complete a task early or late?
NeatShift uses smart recurrence: the next occurrence is calculated from when you actually completed the task, not when it was originally due. This keeps your schedule realistic.
How do I add custom tasks?
Go to the Manage tab and tap the + button. You can set the task name, zone, effort level, estimated time, and recurrence frequency.
Can I adjust my availability per day?
Yes. Go to Settings > Availability. You can set your time budget (in minutes) for each day of the week. The load balancer respects these limits when distributing tasks.
Is my data private?
Absolutely. NeatShift stores everything on your device and your personal iCloud account. There are no user accounts, no analytics, no ads, and no data shared with anyone. See our Privacy Policy for details.
What iOS version is required?
NeatShift requires iOS 17.0 or later.
