🌴 A Slack vacation & PTO tracker without the spreadsheet.
A vacation tracker for Slack that lives in a shared #team-ooo channel. Vacation, PTO, out of office — who's off, when, and for how long, with no spreadsheet to update.
The workflow
Before & after Scalendar.
Without Scalendar
You ask "is Riya in tomorrow?" in #engineering. Five minutes pass. Eventually somebody DMs you a Notion link to a shared time-off doc that hasn't been updated since February.
- ✕Three different ways to log OOO (none of them official)
- ✕The "is anyone covering Friday?" panic thread
- ✕Time-off invisible until somebody's status is set to 🌴

On a vacation tracker
What goes on a Slack vacation & PTO tracker.
Vacation, PTO, annual leave, parental leave, public holidays, half-days — the out-of-office events your team needs to see at a glance. Multi-day time off renders across the full date range, so a week off actually takes up a week on the calendar. Open permissions mean people add their own time off without filling in a request form.
Vacation & annual leave
Multi-day events that span the full vacation. Visible to the whole team in one place.
Conferences & WFA
Working-from-away days, conference travel, half-days at the dentist.
Public holidays
Calendar your region's holidays in #general. New starters know exactly what's coming.
Parental leave
Long-form OOO with a clear return date. Pinned in the team channel.
Half-days & flex
Quick "AM only" or "PM out" notes for the days that aren't a full-day OOO.
Other ways teams use it.
