About TimeMappr
A shift coverage planner and timezone overlap tool for any workforce.
Our Mission
TimeMappr exists to remove the guesswork from workforce coverage. Whether you're running a restaurant floor, a hospital ward, a retail sales team, or an engineering squad spread across four continents, the same question keeps coming up: who is actually available right now, and where are the gaps? Spreadsheets and shared calendars answer that question poorly — they show what was scheduled, not whether coverage is actually continuous. Our mission is to make working-hour coverage something you can see in seconds, not something you have to reconstruct by cross- referencing five tabs and a timezone converter.
How TimeMappr Started
TimeMappr began as an internal tool built to solve a problem that kept resurfacing in conversations with operations managers and remote team leads: coverage gaps were almost always discovered after they caused a problem — a shift left unstaffed, a support queue with no one watching it overnight, a sprint planning meeting scheduled at 2 a.m. for half the team. The pattern was always the same. Someone had built the schedule correctly on paper, but no one could see the whole picture across timezones and shift patterns at once.
What started as a simple horizontal timeline — one row per person, one bar per shift — turned into a small, focused product once it became clear the same visual problem showed up everywhere: restaurant rotas, nursing schedules, retail floor coverage, and distributed software teams all needed the same thing. Not a full HR platform, not a payroll system — just a fast, visual way to answer "are we covered?" for any hour of any day.
What We Build
TimeMappr is a visual workforce scheduling and timezone overlap tool. Every team member's working hours are plotted on a shared 24-hour timeline, converted automatically into whichever timezone you're viewing from. Instead of mentally converting hours across timezones or counting rows in a spreadsheet, you see coverage and gaps directly: a continuous colored bar means someone is on, a blank space means no one is. We built multiple ways to look at the same data — a linear timeline, a radial 24-hour dial, a compressed overlap histogram, and a pairwise availability matrix — because a restaurant manager checking floor coverage and an engineering lead checking standup overlap are looking for different things in the same underlying schedule.
Who We Build For
TimeMappr is built for anyone who has to answer "who's covering this?" on a recurring basis:
- Restaurant and hospitality managers coordinating front-of-house and back-of-house shift overlaps across multiple sites.
- Healthcare schedulers and charge nurses tracking on-call rotations and continuous ward coverage.
- Retail operations leads managing fluctuating coverage needs across peak shopping seasons.
- Distributed engineering and product teams trying to find a shared working window across timezones.
- Anyone running a 24/7 operation — support desks, on-call rotations, dispatch and monitoring teams.
See our resource library for in-depth guides on how each of these teams uses TimeMappr in practice.
How We Operate
We keep TimeMappr deliberately narrow in scope. We are not trying to replace your payroll system, your HR platform, or your full calendar suite — we sync with the calendars you already use (Google Calendar and Outlook) rather than asking you to migrate away from them. We believe a scheduling tool should be something you open, understand instantly, and close — not a platform that demands a rollout project. That principle shapes every feature decision we make: if a feature makes the coverage picture harder to read at a glance, it doesn't ship.
