PTO Minder

Stop guessing how much PTO is actually safe to use.

PTO Minder helps you forecast your future paid time off balance based on your accrual schedule, booked time off, holidays, and upcoming pay periods. Instead of only showing what you have today, it helps answer two practical questions:

“Will I have enough PTO for this trip?” and “How much can I safely use now without jeopardizing plans I already booked?”

Use PTO Minder to plan vacations, long weekends, sick days, personal days, and holidays with a clearer view of what your future balance will look like.

Plan trips with clear readiness labels: • On Track: your projected balance covers the time off • At Risk: the plan is tight and worth watching • Short: you are projected to come up short

Know your Safe to Use amount: • See how much PTO is available after protecting upcoming planned time off • Decide whether a random 3-day weekend fits your plan • Avoid accidentally spending PTO you were counting on later • Model new time off before requesting it through work

PTO Minder is built for real-world time off planning: • Add, move, and model trips before making an official request • Track PTO balances by employer and bank • Forecast balances across future pay periods • Add vacations, sick days, personal days, holidays, and unpaid leave • View trips and holidays together on a calendar • Review a pay-period ledger with accrual, usage, and running balances • Reconcile against the numbers from your employer or HR portal • Export and import your data with JSON backup

PTO Minder is a planning tool, not an HR system. It does not log in to payroll, HR, calendar, or employer systems. You enter your own PTO rules and plans, then officially request time off through your employer’s normal process.

The free version is fully useful for simple PTO planning, including one employer, one balance-bearing PTO bank, forecasting, calendar planning, holidays, reconciliation, and backup.

PTO Minder Plus adds more power when you need it: • Unlimited additional PTO banks • Multiple active employers • iCloud sync across iPhone and iPad • Accrual caps and proactive alerts • Carryover and use-by expiration tracking • Scheduled future accrual changes • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets • Apple Watch app and complication

No account required. No ads. No third-party tracking.

PTO Minder is for anyone who wants to use time off confidently without accidentally undermining future plans.
