17 days The problem
Spreadsheets work until they don't.
A spreadsheet is fine when there are three people. But once the team grows, time-off tracking becomes scattered across tabs, messages, calendars, and memory. areuworking gives your team one simple source of truth.
Balances drift
Allowance formulas break, edits get missed, and people stop trusting the numbers.
Approvals happen in DMs
Leave gets approved in Slack, email, or a hallway chat — and nobody can find the decision later.
Public holidays differ by country
Remote and distributed teams juggle different bank holidays, and the spreadsheet only covers one.
Coverage is invisible
Two people book the same week off and nobody notices until the work is due.
Calendars only show dates
A shared calendar shows who is away, but not balances, approval status, or what overlaps.
Replace the spreadsheet with a simple time-off tracker your team can actually trust.
The product
Everything your team needs to track time off properly
Request and approve time off
Team members request leave. Managers approve it. Everyone knows what changed.

Manage bank holidays
Import public holidays by country so distributed teams stay in sync.
Understand coverage
Spot gaps before too many people are away at the same time.
Calendar feeds
Subscribe to auto-updating calendar feeds so approved time off stays visible where your team already checks dates.
Who it is for
Built for small teams that need clarity, not a full HR suite
Founder-led teams
Stop being the person everyone asks when they want to know who is off.
Agencies
Plan client work with a clear view of upcoming holidays and coverage gaps.
Remote teams

Ideal for teams of 5–100 that have outgrown spreadsheets but do not need a heavy HR platform.
Compared with what you use today
Better than a spreadsheet. Lighter than a full HR system.
| Alternative | Where it breaks | Why areuworking is better |
|---|---|---|
| Spreadsheets | Easy to forget updates, balances drift, no approvals | One shared source of truth for requests, allowances, and availability |
| Shared calendars | Show dates, but not policies, balances, or approval status | Time off is tracked properly and can still appear in calendars via feeds |
| Slack / email | Requests get buried and decisions are hard to audit | Requests and approvals stay organized in one place |
| Full HR suites | Too heavy if you only need time-off tracking | Focused, simple, affordable, and built for small teams |

Customer stories
What teams using areuworking say
"We were tracking time off in a spreadsheet shared in Slack. areuworking gave us one place everyone actually uses — and the allowances just stay correct without anyone touching a formula."
Rafael
Co-founder & CEO, Volograms
"Finally stopped chasing people to update the leave calendar. The team books their own time off, approvals happen in seconds, and I can see coverage at a glance before planning the week."
Tomas
Head of Tech, Chimnie
"The thing that sold it for us was the coverage view. Knowing who is off before a sprint starts saves a conversation every single time."
Jose Luis
Co-founder & CTO, Record OS
