Scheduling that just works
Zero is the rota, tasks, time-tracking and payroll app for teams that work shifts. Put the daily checks on repeat, build the week in minutes, clock in on site - and pay less than the big names charge.

Your entire operation, one app
Keep scrolling - the phone keeps up.
The daily checks run themselves
Fridge temperatures, opening routines, cleaning rotas - set once, re-issued daily, and chased when they run late.
Side by side
Who is on, and where you are short
See gaps before they bite
Tell Zero how many of each role every branch needs, per day. It watches the next fortnight and flags every short-staffed day - “two short on Saturday” - before it becomes a crisis.
- Role-by-role minimums for every branch
- A 14-day early-warning queue
- Tap a gap to jump straight to the fix
One grid the whole team trusts
Day, week and month views of who is in, who is off and who is off sick - colour-coded by person and role, with open shifts anyone can claim sitting right at the top.
- Filter by branch, role or just yourself
- Sickness and leave shown inline
- Open shifts staff can claim from their phone
Sunday night, before and after
We’re not competing with software. We’re competing with a spreadsheet, a printer and a very busy WhatsApp group.
- The fridge-check sheet went unsigned again - nobody noticed until Friday
- The rota is photographed off the wall and posted into the group chat
- “Did anyone see my message about Tuesday?” - nobody did
- Swaps agreed verbally, remembered differently by everyone
- Hours retyped from paper into a spreadsheet every Friday
- The daily checks assign themselves - and chase whoever misses them
- Publish once - every phone gets the week instantly
- Swaps are requested, approved and logged - not remembered
- Hours are captured at clock-in, not retyped on Friday
- You find out about gaps a fortnight early, not at 8:59am
One login. Every business you run.
Run the pharmacy, the café and the care home from one account - each with its own team, rota and rules. Pick a brand colour and the whole app re-skins to match each business.
Beautiful at 6am, too
A full dark theme across every screen - or follow the system and let it switch itself. Early starts and late handovers are easier on the eyes.

Live by lunchtime
Three steps between you and never building a rota in a spreadsheet again.
Sign up free
Create your organisation, add branches and invite the team with a six-digit join code. No card required.
Build your rota
Set roles and coverage, drop shifts on the grid - or let a repeating pattern roll the rota forward automatically.
Your team goes live
Everyone sees their shifts, clocks in on site, books leave and swaps shifts - from the phone in their pocket.
Industries
Built for how your industry actually works
Coverage rules, shift shapes and the records you have to keep are different in every trade. Pick yours and see the version of Zero that already knows them.
One fair price. Time tracking included.
The big names charge per employee and then sell time tracking back to you as an add-on. Zero starts at £10 a month with everything in - from just £1 per extra employee.

£10/mo
5 employees included, then £1 each. 1 location.
Zero Pro
£15/mo
Advanced payroll, up to 20 locations, priority support.
The maths for a 12-person team: typical per-user pricing runs £24–55 a month. Zero is £17. And if the rota eats 5 hours of your week, that’s roughly £300 of management time a month - Zero pays for itself in the first Monday.
In beta with pilot businesses
No case studies yet. A direct line instead.
We are early, and we would rather say so than dress the site in quotes nobody gave us. What you get in exchange is something the big names cannot offer: message us and the person who replies is the person who builds the product.
- Ben, builds Zero
The builder answers
Message us and the reply comes from the person who wrote the code. Same day, not a support tier reading a script.
Setup done with you
We will sit on a call and build your first rota with you - branches, roles, coverage rules and the team invited.

Questions, answered
A rota app replaces the spreadsheet or paper rota: managers build shifts on a grid, staff see them instantly on their phones, and clock-ins, leave and swaps all happen in the same place.
Your first 5 staff are included in the £10/month base. After that it's £1 per extra staff member on Zero, £1.50 on Zero Pro.
No. Geofenced clock-in, breaks and timesheets are included in every plan - not sold back to you as an add-on.
You choose a plan - or you don’t, and your account goes read-only. Your data stays exportable either way; nothing is deleted.
Yes. Clock-ins and requests queue on the phone when there’s no signal and sync automatically when you’re back online.
EU-hosted, encrypted in transit and at rest, with each organisation isolated at the database layer. See the Security page for the full picture.
