Plan your week, protect your time off, and stay ahead of the dates that matter — all in one place. PLAN YOUR WORK WEEK See your full week at a glance and tap to assign each day — in office, remote, or PTO. The app tracks your minimum in-office requirement and lets you know when you're on track.

TRACK ALL YOUR TIME OFF See every holiday, vacation, and scheduled day off for the year in one clean list. Filter by type, jump between years, and add vacations right from the view. BUILT AROUND YOUR SCHEDULE Configure your Regular Day Off (RDO) cycle for — weekly or biweekly, Monday or Friday. Set your payday schedule. Customize the holiday calendar.
