    Every feature you need tomaximise your time off

    Strategically align your PTO with public holidays and weekends. Turn 25 days into 50+ days off.

    Smart PTO Optimization

    Our algorithm finds the best combination of PTO days to maximize your total consecutive days off, factoring in weekends and public holidays.

    Multi-Country Holidays

    UK bank holidays from gov.uk, plus US federal holidays and German national holidays via Nager.Date API.

    Interactive Calendar View

    Full-year colour-coded calendar showing PTO days, public holidays, weekends, on-call periods, and block days at a glance.

    On-Call Blackout Periods

    Define your on-call date ranges and the optimizer automatically avoids scheduling PTO within a 2-day buffer around them.

    Export to Calendar

    Download your optimized schedule as a polished PDF with calendar view and leave request form, or as an ICS file to import directly into Google Calendar, Outlook, or Apple Calendar.

    Slack & Discord Alerts

    Set up encrypted webhook notifications to get PTO reminders sent directly to your Slack or Discord channels.

    Custom Date Ranges

    Focus the optimizer on a specific part of the year instead of the full calendar — perfect for planning around a particular season.

    Save & Load Schedules

    Save multiple optimized schedules to your account, compare options, and load them instantly from your dashboard.
