“FDNY” for the iPhone

 
 
Tired
of fumbling with your chart to figure out when you’ll be working two months from now?  Sick of coloring the boxes and adding reminders about your mutuals?


FDNY to the rescue!


Custom-designed with the help of New York City firefighters, FDNY is smart about your chart.  It knows about the 25 groups and their schedules, pairing of mutual partners, vacations, RSOT, and so on.  The calendar screen always shows your day and night tours and your partner’s tours (using colors of your own choosing) for the next 24 months from “today.”  It takes only a few taps to enter a mutual with your partner.  A few more taps and you’ve got a mutual recorded with somebody else.  Separate balances are maintained for each person.  And, there’s no need for a new chart every year.


FDNY also contains a list of NYC firehouses, complete with locations (one touch to see maps) and phone numbers (one touch to make calls).


FDNY is unique for the New York City FD.  If you’re not a member of that department, then you do not want this app.  Instead, check out Scheduler, which can handle repeatable shift schedules and on which FDNY is based.
