Puffin for residents is the mobile app for the people on your schedule. Once you publish a schedule and enable it in the app, each resident sees their own rotations and shifts as a calendar on their phone, without opening the dashboard. It works alongside the platform. You build, publish, and enable the schedule on the web. Residents read theirs in the app.

This is a different thing from Puffin, the scheduling assistant inside the dashboard, and from a published share link, which is a read-only web page. The resident app shows each person their own calendar, signed in.

​
What residents can do

See their schedule as a calendar

Their assignments appear as day, week, and month views, color-coded by rotation. They swipe between dates and tap any shift for details.

Add personal events

Residents can add their own events alongside their shifts, like study time, appointments, or reminders, and edit or delete them.

View in any timezone

Times follow the schedule’s timezone by default. A resident who travels can switch the display timezone and every shift moves with it.

Sign in securely

Each resident signs in with Apple or a one-time email code, then links to their record once with a code you provide.

​
How residents get on the app

There are two halves, one on your side and one on theirs.

You: set up and enable

Put residents on the schedule, publish it, and switch on Enable in app so their calendars fill in.

They: sign in and link

Each resident signs in and enters a single-use link code once to connect the app to their record.
Order doesn’t matter much. A resident who links after you’ve enabled the app sees their calendar right away. If you enable the app later, everyone who’s linked gets their shifts on the next publish.

Good to know

  • Residents only see their own calendar. The app shows the signed-in resident’s assignments, not the whole team’s grid.
  • Republish keeps it current. When the app is on, republishing pushes your latest changes to every linked resident automatically. There’s no separate step.
  • Editing a shift is local. A resident can drag or rename a shift, but the schedule details (title, start, end) are restored from the program the next time you republish. Personal touches like color and notes stick.
  • Leave and swaps still run through you. Submitting leave requests or swaps from inside the app isn’t available yet. Those stay on the dashboard for now.
