    Rotation changes

    Moving to a different rotation, going on call, or stopping rotation work (an office job, retiring)? Life on Rotation keeps your past as it was and switches from the date you set.

      Crew change travel

      Flights, chopper, hotel. Add them for your next crew change and family can see when you land.

        No signal

        In transit, or somewhere with no internet? Mark the days so family know not to worry.

          Packing

            Plans

            Trips, weddings, school holidays. Add them to your days off and Life on Rotation warns you if one runs into a rotation.

              Crew & family

              See other people's rotations on your calendar. Ask them for their family link and paste it here.

                Connect by handle

                They get a request. When they allow it, you see each other on both calendars. Needs a free account on both phones.

                Tell your crew

                Know someone on rotation? Send them the app. It's free and takes a minute to set up.

                Days away

                Days out of the country, counted from your calendar. Some people need this for tax or residency. It's a count, not tax advice.

                  Tickets & certs

                  Add your tickets (BOSIET, H2S, IWCF, medical) and hunting or fishing licenses, and Life on Rotation tells you when to renew, on your days off. Stays on this phone only.

                    Account

                    Back up Life on Rotation and use it on more than one phone. Your data is encrypted on this phone before it's uploaded, so nobody else can read it, us included.

                    Privacy & sync

                    🔒 Everything you put in Life on Rotation is kept on this phone. If you make an account, your phone encrypts it before it syncs, so we can't see it.

                    Sharing with family and crew is separate. Links and connections you make keep updating on their own, whatever you pick here. What each link shows is set under Share & sync.

                    What sync does, and what it sends

                    Sync keeps a copy of your data in your account, so a new phone or the home-screen app gets it back.

                    How it's locked. Before anything leaves, your phone encrypts it with AES-256. The key is made on your phone from your password, and a second copy of it is locked with your recovery code. Your password and that key never reach us, so we only ever hold a scrambled copy we can't open. Forget both your password and your recovery code, and nobody can open it, not even us.

                    What we can see. Your email, your handle if you set one, when you last synced and how big the copy is. Nothing inside it.

                    What syncs

                    Off unless you tick it. Ticked, it's encrypted the same way as everything else. Move codes never carry money, and your Money PIN stays on each phone.

                    When

                    Money

                    Money has its own PIN, and you choose whether it shows on your home page.

                    📲 Moving to a new phone

                    Four ways, easiest first. On iPhone, Safari and the home-screen app keep separate copies, so moving between them works the same way.

                    1. With an account that syncs. On the new phone, tap Sign in to my account on the first screen. Everything you picked under What syncs comes over. If it syncs only when you tap Sync now, tap Sync now on the old phone first.
                    2. With an account that keeps everything on the phone. Signing in brings your account number and handle, but not your data. On the old phone, tap Export my data under More › Your data. On the new phone, tap Restore a backup file on the first screen, then sign in under More › Account and tap Keep this phone's.
                    3. No account: a move code. On the old phone, tap Move to another phone under More › Your data for a 6-digit code. On the new phone, tap Move my data here (code) on the first screen and type it. It works once, for 15 minutes, and never carries money.
                    4. No account, no internet: a file. Export my data saves a file. Send it to yourself (AirDrop, email or a drive), then tap Restore a backup file on the new phone. The file has your money in it, unless Money is locked: unlock it first.

                    Each phone keeps its own Money PIN, reminders and Microsoft 365 connection, so set those again on the new phone. Your share links move with you: family and crew don't have to do anything.

                    🔒 Privacy

                    Show money on your home page
                    PIN

                    Lock Money with a PIN. You'll need it to open Money, see pay on your home page and calendar, or put money in an exported file.

                    ⚠️ We can't recover a forgotten PIN. It never leaves this phone, so nobody can look it up or reset it. If you forget it, the only way back in is to erase Money on this phone and set up your pay again.

                    The PIN keeps someone who picks up your phone out of Money. It's for this phone only. Your phone's own lock still matters most.

                    Days worked per country

                      Days worked per state

                        For land work across states. Some states tax wages earned there, even if you live in Texas. Filing rules differ by state: this is a count for your tax preparer, not tax advice.
