Panador Ambulance shift timer & logging
Built by ambulance staff, for ambulance staff

Take the chaos out of your shift.

Panador helps you track shift timings, breaks and key events in one rainbow-bright web app – so you can focus on what matters and sort the admin later.

Works in your browser. Add to your home screen for the full app-like feel.

No downloads. No logins (yet).
Just open panador.co.uk, start the shift timer, and let Panador remember the details for you.

What is Panador?

Panador is a browser-based tool designed around real ambulance shifts. It helps you keep track of when you started, when you stopped, when you actually got a break, and anything you want to remember later – all time-stamped and stored on your device.

Shift timing, simplified

Tap once, log the moment.

Start your shift, mark breaks, log significant events and end of shift with simple buttons. Panador keeps the running tally so you don’t have to mentally juggle times.

Built for busy crews

Designed for “I’ll do it later”.

Use it live during your shift or as a quick memory-jogger afterwards. Everything is laid out in a way that actually makes sense when you’re tired at 03:00.

CPD & wellbeing

Remember the important bits.

Create short notes and reflections that you can copy into your CPD portfolio, supervision forms or wellbeing log without trying to reconstruct the whole shift from scratch.

Key features

Panador will keep growing, but here’s what it focuses on right now.

Shift timer & overrun

Log your planned and actual shift length, see how long you’ve been on the go, and keep an eye on overrun in real time.

Break tracking

Mark when you actually get a break (and when you don’t). Useful for your own records, and for spotting patterns over time.

Event markers

Drop quick markers at key points in the shift – a tough job, a long wait, a near-miss – and add a short note when you get a moment.

Works anywhere

Panador is NOT on the app store or play store as it runs as a web app. If your device has a modern browser, you’re in. Just go to panador.co.uk.

Privacy-friendly

Panador is being built with privacy and security in mind. Data is kept minimal and on your device, the web app can not write back to Panador so you can stay focused on your own shift.

Time Sheets

Keeping scraps of paper or notebooks? Panador logs its all so time sheets are easer. keep it all in once place. and if you need to export it to excel and then copy and paste into time sheets.  

Made by ambulance staff

Panador comes from lived experience of long shifts, overruns, and “I’ll fill that log in later”. It’s here to make that a little bit easier.

Getting started

Panador is still in active development and testing. Here’s how to use it today and help shape where it goes next.

Open Panador in your browser

Head to panador.co.uk on your phone, tablet or desktop. If you’re already here, you’re halfway there.

Add it to your home screen (required for app to run properly)

On most devices you can use “Add to Home Screen” from your browser menu. This gives you an icon for quick access and a more app-like feel.

Start your next shift timer

When your shift starts, tap to begin the timer. Mark breaks and key events as you go, or use it afterwards to reconstruct the timeline.

Help shape Panador

Panador is very much a work in progress. Your ideas, bug reports and rainbow-tinted wish-lists will help decide what gets built next.
