Museums & historic houses
Docent, greeter and gift-shop shifts, filled every week.
A small museum's front desk depends on the same few dozen volunteers, a binder or a spreadsheet, and someone calling around when a docent is sick.
Post the days you're open and the schedule rolls forward on its own. Docents and greeters pick their shifts from a phone, get a reminder the day before, and can cancel from their confirmation email, which reopens the spot. You see the gaps for the whole month on one screen.
The example shows a historical society's month of shifts, with made-up names. Click through a sign-up; nothing you enter is saved.

Questions
- Is it free for a small museum?
- Yes. One page with up to 30 volunteers is free, with no ads. Pro is $79 a year for the whole museum, and Pro + Texting is $290 a year with text reminders and group texts.
- Do volunteers need an account?
- No. A name and email is all they enter. The confirmation email has a link to change or cancel.
- Can volunteers choose a room or station?
- Yes. Each room or station is its own spot with its own count, so volunteers pick the parlor or the gift shop, not just a time.
- Can we put the schedule on our website?
- Yes. Pro includes an embed code, so the schedule sits on your own volunteer page.
- Will you set it up for us?
- Yes. Send your weekly schedule and we'll build the page for free.
