The simplest way to track team time off

Most teams still manage PTO in a spreadsheet nobody trusts and an email chain nobody can find. Day Off replaces all of it with a free, cloud-based leave tracker: employees request time off, managers approve in a tap, and everyone sees who's out on a shared calendar. Set leave policies, accruals, carryover rules, and blackout dates, then sync it all to Google Calendar, Outlook, Slack, and Teams. Trusted by over 5,000 teams to keep time off organized.

What is it:

A free cloud-based leave tracker for managing PTO, sick days, and vacations with approvals, policies, and calendar sync.

Who is it for:

Managers, HR teams, and growing businesses tired of tracking time off in spreadsheets and email threads.

Alternative to:

Spreadsheets, shared calendars, BambooHR, or chasing approvals across email and chat.

Why we like it:

We like Day Off because it does one job completely, and the core tracker is free.
