Launch week: every idea card is free.Get Pro

SaaS ideas, mined from what people actually complain about.

Every idea comes from real Reddit posts, was researched against today's competitors, and survived an independent skeptic before it made the list.

Shift Swap and Schedule Chaos

Hourly and shift workers lack a reliable, real-time system for schedules, shift swaps, time-off, and coverage, causing missed shifts, confusion, and lost pay.

In their words

The actual schedule wasn't the hard part, it was all the changes after it got posted.

r/restaurant on Reddit

I myself been waiting 10 minutes hit the button multiple times and no one has shown up.

r/Sparkdriver on Reddit

I have no way to compare what is on the wage slips to my clock in and out times, or to see what times they have amended.

r/UKJobs on Reddit

I can't leave until he shows up. Hes scheduled for 2pm but usually isn't on the floor until 2:15.

r/WalmartEmployees on Reddit

My relief keeps coming in 10-15 minutes late!!

r/Nightshift on Reddit

majority of our crew dident show up so I was running most of the store myself

r/wendys on Reddit

My store stopped allowing us to pick up shifts at other stores ever since Covid, which sucks because I work at a university store and we lose tons of business during summer/winter breaks.

r/tjcrew on Reddit

Like either work me a short shift running air and prelims or text me if I want a day off instead.

r/UPSers on Reddit

Just trying to figure out what systems other people have put in place so every call-out or no-show doesn't turn into a complete fire drill.

r/Entrepreneur on Reddit

nobody ever wants to switch shifts with me if I have an appointment and If I have to use vacation time it often almost gets waitlisted and denied

r/callcentres on Reddit

Emergency calls and texts are replied to days later.

r/securityguards on Reddit

I never know what my shift is until the evening of the day before the shift or the day of the shift.

r/BurlingtonCoatFactory on Reddit

I really wish the phone/app version would show how many hours people are scheduled for the week.

Why those fall short

  • App hides clock-in records and amended times; payslips never accurate.
  • each text comes from a different number, so muting fails
  • swap feature poorly implemented; requests rejected; no visibility or approval
  • notifications don't always come through and offers vanish fast
  • slow, more clicks, missing departments, hours and accruals
