# ShiftPlugins

> Free, open source (MIT) plugins for self-hosted Mattermost that add tools for teams working in shifts: a shift planning calendar with swaps, leave (time-off) requests with approval, and a time clock with CSV export. Source code on GitHub (https://github.com/mike-risky/shiftplugins). Downloads are free; the site is pay what you want, with $5 per plugin or $12 for all three suggested. Developed in Switzerland by Smafe.

Works on Mattermost 10.0 or newer (tested on 11.7), all editions including the free Team and Entry editions, on web, desktop and the iOS and Android apps. The plugins speak English, French, German and Italian, following each user's Mattermost language. Data stays in the customer's own Mattermost database. Mattermost Cloud workspaces can't install custom plugins, so it's for self-hosted servers. ShiftPlugins is not affiliated with Mattermost, Inc.
