I work shifts which rotate on a five week plan (I dont know why) It would be great if I could find software that could track the five week cycle and tell me what week Im on and what my shifts for that week are. Does anyone know of anything like that?

The only thing I could find on a quick search, is this app on F-Droid: https://www.f-droid.org/packages/de.nulide.shiftcal/

Very basic, and only on Android. I couldn't find anything for desktop platforms.

Maybe try Thunderbird which have it's own calendar feature built in?

Just use some sort of calendar. Probably the easiest solution.

Can you tell us more about your work shifts? Maybe you can give an example of a 5 week schedule.

What stops you from using repeating calendar events? Set up your shift, repeat every five weeks, done. Or does this follow a more complex pattern?
