Paid time off, without the guesswork.

Most people find out too late that they were sitting on hours they could have used, or that a balance was about to hit a use-it-or-lose-it cap. PTO Minder keeps the real number in front of you, so you can plan time off with confidence.

See what is safe to use

Balances update as you book time off and as new time accrues, so the number you see is the number you can actually take.

Forecast every accrual

Project your balance forward to any date. With Plus, caps and use-it-or-lose-it limits are flagged before you reach them.

Every bank in one place

PTO, sick time, and floating holidays each keep their own accrual rules. Free tracks one balance; Plus adds as many as you need.

Yours and private

Your data lives on your device. With Plus, iCloud sync keeps it current on your iPhone and iPad under your Apple ID — never a Brown’s Tech Co. account.

Beyond your HR app

Your HR app shows a number. PTO Minder does the math.

Most HR portals hand you a single balance and leave the rest to you — mentally adding up what you will accrue before your trip, subtracting what a cap or year-end rollover will take, and guessing what is actually safe to book. PTO Minder does that math for you.

  • Accruals, projected: your accrual schedule run forward, including tenure step-ups on your work anniversary, so you know what you will have on the day you want off — not just today.
  • Rollovers and caps, handled: with Plus, carryover limits, use-it-or-lose-it caps, and expirations are all in the math and flagged before they cost you hours.
  • Safe to Use, computed: one honest number that already subtracts what you have committed and anything a cap or expiration would claim first — no spreadsheet, no guesswork.

PTO Minder is a planning tool, not an HR system: it doesn’t sign in to payroll or HR, and you still request time off through your employer’s usual process.

Safe to Use, in practice

Say yes to a long weekend without risking the big trip.

The long weekend

You already have a week booked in December. Can you take a long weekend in October too? Safe to Use already accounts for the December trip, so it tells you at a glance — without putting the big one at risk.

Before it expires

Hours that reset at year-end are counted out of Safe to Use and flagged weeks ahead, so you can book something instead of forfeiting them.

Still on track?

Book a trip and PTO Minder marks it On Track once you are projected to have enough — or warns you early if a cap or a slow accrual stretch would put it at risk.

At a glance

Your next trip, counting down on your Home Screen.

With Plus, Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets — and the Apple Watch app and complications — keep the numbers in front of you without opening the app.

Countdown widgets

Pick a trip or time off and watch the days count down, right on your Home Screen, Lock Screen, or Apple Watch.

Balances where you glance

Put one bank’s balance on your Home Screen, or use Balance Breakdown to see every bank beside Safe to Use and your next time off. Time Off Summary shows the totals and what’s coming up.

Deadlines you will not miss

Use-it-or-lose-it caps and expirations surface right on the widget, so a forfeiture never sneaks up on you.

Built for VoiceOver and Larger Text

VoiceOver works across the app, the widgets, and the Apple Watch app, and the calendar and pay-period grids grow with your text size.
