See it in action

The real board.
Not a mock-up.

Captures of Chrona Scheduler 0.1.0 in a model-driven app, with sample data. What you see here is what installs.

The board

People in lanes. Shifts as bars.

Drag a bar to move it, drag its edges to resize it. Open work waits in the unscheduled panel on the right; drop it on a person to assign it. Coverage per hour runs along the top.

In your app

Right-click stays yours.

Open record, Chrona’s own actions and the commands your app already has, on the same menu. The scheduler is a component on your view, not a second application.

Without lanes

The day calendar.

For a table without a resource lookup, the board becomes a calendar. Day, week, work week and month scales; every edit still saved to your row.

Three bindings that matter.

Title, Start and End are required. Resource, a lookup to the person or asset, gives you lanes. Everything else is optional and explained in the bindings page.

Every binding explained

Optimize

It shows before it asks.

The Optimize dialog runs a sample before and after, and lists exactly what a real run would send. Try a free sample run connects your environment; there is no sign-up form.

The answer

A proposal, on the same board.

Proposed placements carry a dashed ring, a moved shift leaves a ghost at its old place, and the list names every change. Drop the ones you disagree with, then Apply. Nothing is written before that.

Workforce Scheduler

When scheduling turns into rostering.

Roster periods on the horizon, coverage per hour against demand, people with their skills and hours, and the unscheduled panel. The paid solution adds the tables and the app; the board stays the same.
