Muster is actively developed. Here's what's live today, what's coming next, and what's planned for the future.
Everything in this section is built and available to all accounts today.
Visual week grid with instant drag-and-drop. Weekly, pay period, and monthly views. Schedule publishing with draft/live states.
Save common shift times as presets. Build full-week templates and apply them to any future week or pay period with one click.
Post unassigned shifts that employees can claim. Race condition protection ensures no two employees grab the same shift.
Invite-only employee access. Role-based permissions (owner, manager, team lead, employee). Multi-location support with scoped schedules.
Employees request time off or initiate shift swaps. Two-stage swap approval. Conflict detection warns managers before approving.
Employees set weekly recurring availability and one-off exceptions. Managers see it before building the schedule.
Daily and weekly labor costs on the schedule grid. Overtime calculated automatically using daily or weekly thresholds.
Employee clock in/out, manager-marked attendance, or both. Last-minute call-out flow with reason tracking and supervisor alerts.
Employee hours, attendance rates, labor costs, and time off summaries. Per-employee timesheet approval with clock-time editing.
Broadcast messages to your org, location, or team. In-app and email notifications for shift publishes, request updates, and more.
Export any week or pay period schedule to CSV for payroll or print to PDF for the back office board.
Max hours per week, minimum rest between shifts, blackout dates, and minimum staffing rules per role — all enforced with warnings.
These features are actively in development and coming to all plans.
Native iOS and Android apps for employees and managers. View shifts, submit requests, and manage your team from anywhere.
Employees receive an email (and optionally a text) before their upcoming shift. Configurable lead time per org.
Set a shift pattern once and Muster automatically generates future occurrences on a rolling window — no more manual weekly rebuilds.
Accrual runs automatically at each pay period boundary for every employee. No manual trigger needed.
Text alerts for shift changes, approvals, and call-outs. Same events as email notifications — delivered to any phone.
Push shifts directly to Google Calendar, Outlook, or Apple Calendar so employees always have their schedule in the app they already use.
Planned features for future releases. Not yet in active development, but on the roadmap.
Generate a draft schedule automatically from your team's availability, roles, and staffing minimums. AI-assisted version to follow.
Export approved timesheets directly to QuickBooks, Gusto, or ADP — no more manual re-entry.
Pull sales data from your POS to forecast labor cost as a percentage of revenue directly on the schedule grid. Starting with Square, with Toast and Clover to follow.
Require employees to be on-site before they can clock in. Location verified via the mobile app.
Automated checks for predictive scheduling laws — advance notice requirements, predictability pay triggers, and local law violations.
See all your locations on a single combined schedule. Assign employees to shifts outside their home location.
The free plan includes everything you need to get your team scheduled. No credit card required.
