A prompt to build your own version of Homebase

Written by the checker for a first version. Paste it into Vibecode as is, or change it to make the app yours.

Your Homebase-style app, first version

Build an iPhone app for managers and hourly workers at one workplace. The main screen should show this week's shifts, with each worker's name, role and start and end times. Let a manager tap a shift to edit it or add a new shift. Add a Time Clock tab with clear Clock In and Clock Out buttons, the current work status and today's total hours. Add a Team Chat tab with one shared room where workers can read and send text messages. Use a clean navy and white design with green action buttons and large, readable text. Start with realistic sample workers, shifts and messages. Keep data on the device for this first version and clearly label it as a demo.
