About
Timeshifter is a circadian rhythm management platform designed for frequent travelers, shift workers, and high-performance professionals. Grounded in the latest sleep science and chronobiology research, it generates personalized plans that tell users exactly when to seek or avoid light, when to take melatonin, and how to time caffeine intake—dramatically reducing jet lag symptoms and shift work disruption. The Jet Lag app creates trip-specific schedules tailored to departure and arrival time zones, helping users adapt faster and arrive at their destination performing at their best. The Shift Work app helps night-shift employees optimize alertness, health, and quality of life by synchronizing their routines with their work schedules. For organizations, Timeshifter offers a corporate solution and a Jet Lag Cost Calculator® to quantify the productivity impact of employee travel fatigue. A white-glove Concierge service is available for elite athletes, executives, and astronauts who need hands-on guidance. The platform has been trusted by professional sports teams, airlines, and space agencies. With a free-trial entry point and tiered subscription plans, Timeshifter is accessible to individual travelers and scalable to enterprise teams. It is ideal for business travelers, flight crews, remote employees crossing time zones, and anyone whose work schedule conflicts with natural sleep cycles.
