Synchro creates on-call schedules for hospital departments, family medicine groups, and medical clinics arranging physician coverage. Its automatic scheduler assigns shifts according to team rules, weighting, and physician constraints. Teams can weight nights, evenings, and weekends differently and review weighted totals. Physicians can enter unavailabilities and preferences in plain language for conversion into structured scheduling constraints. When a person releases a shift, an eligible colleague can claim it from an internal board, updating the schedule and fairness counters. Synchro supports one-way Google Calendar sync, Apple Calendar or iCloud through an iCal URL, and CSV exports. It works on the web and through a mobile-optimized interface for iPhone and Android; there is no native app to install. Hospital departments can use every feature free during the beta, with no user cap. Other listed plans are 10 CAD per user per month billed annually, or 15 CAD per user per month with monthly billing; both include the first month free. Pricing includes onboarding, training, and support.
