What we
built.
An iOS app that books shifts automatically: workers connect their credentials, set preferences with adjustable filters, and matching shifts are booked for them as they appear. Invoices and earnings tracking keep the working week in one place, with a companion marketing site alongside.
02 In practice
Inside the product.
Follow the experience from first step to outcome. These interactive illustrations use example data.
Your search.

Connect and set preferences
Connect credentials and configure search settings. The app searches for blocks that match the worker's preferences, instead of relying on manual refreshing.
03 Design & engineering
Behind the build.
The decisions, the working parts and what connects them.
Shift work has a speed problem: open shifts go to whoever happens to be looking at the listings at the right moment. FlexFindr removes that race — a worker connects their work credentials once, sets their preferences, and the app books matching shifts on their behalf.
Preferences are adjustable filters rather than a one-off setup, so only shifts that genuinely fit a worker's schedule get booked. Around the automation sit the practical parts of shift work: qualifications uploaded once for verification, and bookings, invoices and earnings tracked in one place.
The app is built with React Native and Expo on Firebase, with Firestore handling data, and is live on the App Store — with a Next.js marketing site alongside. Because it acts on a worker's behalf, the unglamorous parts got extra care — including in-app account deletion with data removed within 30 days.

The decisions
that matter.
Put preferences before automation. Workers choose the filters that define a suitable shift, and bookings, invoices and earnings provide context after the match. The companion website explains the app, while the mobile product handles the working experience.
FlexFindr has an iOS App Store release. Because the product acts on a worker’s behalf, the scope includes adjustable preferences and account deletion. Buyers commissioning automation should decide what a user can change, inspect and stop, as well as the action the software performs.
