Your shifts in Google Calendar
Connect Google Calendar in Settings › App & data and Hustle keeps a “Hustle shifts” calendar up to date with your shift times, marked busy, so booking tools like Cal.com know when you’re working. Your device sends the times straight to Google. Never any pay.
Google Calendar in Settings, with sample data 20 October
Plan your day with Hustle in ChatGPT or Claude
Turn on sharing in Settings › App & data › Connected apps, then connect Hustle in Claude or ChatGPT. The app can read your shift days and times, job names, the days you’re not working, your protected days (with their notes only if you choose) and your payday dates, and nothing else: never your pay or money. Ask “plan my day around my shift” or “when am I free this week?”. Hustle sends a fresh locked copy from your device when something changes, and you can stop it any time.
Connected apps in Settings, with sample data 19 October
Devices: see where you’re signed in
Settings › App & data › Devices lists every phone and computer signed in to Hustle, with an approximate location and when it was last used. Sign out one you don’t use, or every other device at once if you lose a phone. You’ll get an email, and a card on Home on your other devices, when a new device signs in, and Hustle now asks you to sign in again every 30 days. You can also change your password in Settings.
Devices in Settings, on an iPhone (location hidden) 19 October
Data lock: only you can read your data
Your shifts, jobs, pay settings and money can now be locked on your device before they’re saved, with a key only you hold, so Hustle stores them locked and can’t open them. Unlock with Face ID or fingerprint, an unlock password or a code from your Recovery Kit, and choose how often Hustle asks. Turn it on from To do on Home or in Settings › App & data › Data lock; new accounts set it up as they get started. What you send to Chat or rota import is the one exception.
Setting up Data lock, step by step 14 October
A new opening animation, and sharper app icons
When you open the installed app on your phone, the Hustle logo draws itself in about three seconds, with a short sound on Android (iPhones keep web apps quiet until you tap). It plays only when the app starts fresh, never when you come back to it, a tap skips it, and Reduce motion turns it off. The app icons and iPhone launch screens are sharper too.
The opening animation, as it plays in the installed app 12 October
Hide amounts
Tap the eye and every amount in the app turns to shimmering ink, so you can open Hustle in front of anyone. Hold one to peek, or choose Tap to show in Settings. Your choice is remembered on this device.
