About this appAI proposal
Offday is a leave and absence tracker for small and medium teams. Employees request vacation, report sick days and log overtime. Managers approve in one tap. Everyone sees who is away and when, on one shared calendar.
It replaces email threads and spreadsheets without bringing in a full HR system. There is nothing to host and no server to maintain. A team can set it up in an afternoon: add people, set allowances, and share the link.
The material shows sustained interest in focused, self-hosted leave tools. Offday offers that same narrow scope as a hosted web app that installs on a phone, so a team does not have to run its own server.

- Why this name
- Offday is a plain two-syllable word for what the product tracks: the days people are away. It is easy to say and spell. Trademark check needed.

What it could be worthEstimate
What a software business making this much sells for today, from real deals. Pick a monthly revenue.
If it makes
Worth about
$194,000
Sale range $132,000 to $263,000
$120,000 a year in revenue
From 87 software businesses listed and sold on Empire Flippers in the last year, revenue vetted by the broker: they sell for about 19× their monthly revenue, most between 13× and 26×.
Measured on profit, the middle deal is 32× monthly net profit: about 2.7 years of profit.
An estimate, not an offer or financial advice. A real price depends on profit, growth, churn, how much of the work is the owner's, and the buyer.
How it would growAI proposal
How the product would reach new customers through its own use, and how the first ones would be found. A plan to test, not a result.
- Built-in loop
- Users invite others. An admin adds the whole team. Each employee and manager is invited by email to request or approve leave. Shared team calendar links draw in people who then use the app.
- Do they become customers?
- Invited employees are users, not buyers. The buyer is the owner or office manager. To test: whether free teams of up to 5 upgrade once they pass the limit or need overtime.
- First customers
- Offices of 10 to 40 people in one region, such as agencies or small engineering firms, where an office manager tracks leave in a spreadsheet.
- Where to reach them
- Open-source community: Offer a hosted option to teams who find self-hosted leave tools and don't want to run a server.
- Founder and office manager groups: Post a spreadsheet-to-Offday import guide in small business communities.
- First milestone
- Ten teams of 10 to 40 people use it for a full month, and five of them pay.

RisksAI inference
- CommercialThe only evidence is one open-source project's GitHub stars. It shows interest, not willingness to pay. Teams may stay with free self-hosting or spreadsheets.
- RegulatoryLeave rules, sick-note handling and health data privacy differ by country. Sick leave data may need strict access limits and legal review before launch.
- TechnicalEdge cases such as part-time rates, half days, carry-over and regional holidays are easy to get wrong. Wrong balances would destroy trust.
- CommercialMany HR suites already include leave modules. Offday has to stay clearly simpler and cheaper to win teams that skip the suite.
