What it does
Vacay is the simplest way to manage employee time off, vacation, and PTO for small businesses. Approve requests in one tap. Never get caught understaffed again. Free plan available.
Vacay is the simplest way to manage employee time off for small businesses with multiple departments or shifts. Approve requests in one tap, catch coverage conflicts before they happen, and never get caught understaffed. Tracks vacation, sick days, and PTO. Free plan available.
See who's off before you approve, protect your coverage across departments, roles, or shifts, and always know who's available before you build the schedule. No spreadsheets, no group chats, no surprises. An employee texts at 7 AM. You're already short-staffed and scrambling to cover. Again. You updated it last Tuesday. Now three people have added time off and nobody told you. The schedule you built is already wrong. Different conversations, different texts, no one tracking it in one place. Now your busiest Saturday is suddenly a skeleton crew. They ask you. You have to dig through emails and texts to figure it out. There has to be a better way. Vacay gives you and your team a simple shared…from vacay.work

The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Happy to discuss any questions here!

Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!
