Request & approve in Slack
No forms, no email threads, no separate login. Managers approve in a tap and everyone sees their own running balance.
Balances, accruals & half-days
Allowances, running balances, carry-over, accruals, TOIL, notice periods, half-days and custom leave types — the full workflow.
Public holidays, built in
Per-country public holidays are included and factored into allowances automatically — no spreadsheet to maintain.
Shared team calendar
A who's-off view and daily digest, an iCal subscription, and approved leave synced to Google and Outlook so nobody double-books.
Per-person approver routing
Route requests to a specific approver instead of every admin, so the right manager signs off.
Birthdays & anniversaries
The same bot quietly celebrates birthdays and work anniversaries in the channel you choose.
Why a Slack-native time off bot
Most leave tools sit in a separate app nobody opens, so balances drift and people double-book. Because truelo is a Slack time off bot, requests and approvals happen in seconds without a context switch, balances stay accurate on their own, and everyone shares one who's-off calendar. Approved leave syncs to Google, Outlook and iCal, and per-country public holidays are built in — and the same bot can also run your daily engineering updates, so one subscription covers both.
