ShiftScout

ShiftScout is a mobile + web app that helps hourly workers increase income by surfacing higher-paying open shifts and short-term gigs nearby, then guiding them through fast applications. It focuses on practical earning lifts: better shift differentials, overtime-friendly schedules, and employers with consistently higher effective hourly pay (after commute time and typical hours). Users build a simple profile (skills, certifications, availability), and ShiftScout matches them to opportunities from integrated job feeds and partner employers. It also includes a “true pay” calculator that estimates take-home pay using local taxes, expected tips (where relevant), and commute costs. This is not a fantasy “make money fast” app—it's a pragmatic tool for people who can realistically earn more by switching shifts, stacking part-time roles, or moving to better-paying employers in the same field.
