We’ve just rolled out a brand new calendar view to make it easier to manage and visualize your team’s time off, all in one place

Here’s what’s new:

• Monthly overview of everyone’s upcoming leaves
• Powerful filters by team and country to help you focus on what matters
• Weekends are greyed out for easy scanning
• Public holidays are now highlighted with subtle stripes and a country flag — currently tailored per location

This is just the beginning - we’ve got more improvements on the way!

As always, we’d love your feedback. Try it out in the Calendar section and let us know what you think

Managing time off just got even smoother! Our Slack integration now includes automated notifications, keeping your team informed about upcoming leave - right where you work.

🔔 What’s New?

• ✅ Customizable Notifications – Choose between daily, weekly, or monthly updates.
• 📅 Schedule Flexibility – Pick the exact day and time that works best..

We’re working closely with our first beta users to fine-tune the product, gather feedback, and ensure it’s solving the right problems. This is an exciting moment, and we’re grateful to have you with us.

Becoming an Early Adopter

We’re preparing to roll out our Early Adopter Plan soon, and we’d love for you to be among the first to hear about it. While the plan details are still in the works, here’s what we can share:

• The plan will offer access to all features and special benefits.
• It will remain free during Beta, and we’ll make it worthwhile for early supporters in the long run.
