Slack-native on-call rotation
On-call rotation, automated inside Slack
Sched runs your weekly, daily, or custom on-call rotations and keeps a Slack user group like @oncall in sync with whoever is currently up — no spreadsheets, no per-seat PagerDuty bill, no separate UI for your team to learn.
One-click install · Free for up to 3 rotations · Ready in 60 seconds
Auto-rotating user groups
Sched updates your Slack user group membership automatically so @oncall always pings the right person.
Handoff notifications
Outgoing and incoming responders both get a clear DM at handoff time. No more "wait, am I on-call this week?"
Swaps and overrides in Slack
Trade a shift or set a one-off override without leaving Slack. Holidays and vacations stop being a chore.
