Hybrid Tool to track Work From Home

Posted by Acceptable_Creme8094@reddit | sysadmin | View on Reddit | 6 comments

Hey everyone 👋

With hybrid work becoming normal, I kept struggling to track how many days I worked from home vs went to the office and also how many leaves I had taken.

I was literally using random Excel sheets but I want something which is handy.

So I built a simple app that helps track WFH days, Office days, Leaves etc and shows percentage breakdown over time.

Still early, so I’d really appreciate honest feedback:

How to use: Just tap and hold any date to update the status of that day, you can add note as well.

Also I am open to suggestions and ideas on how to improve or what features i should be adding next so that it would become more useful to you?

Google Workspace licensed users: You can do this natively in your Calendar, and set what your standard working location for a typical week is.

If you subscribe to colleague calendars you can also see theirs.

I have to update my personal calendar that I'm working from home anyway, so I just look for the purple "all day" appointments that signify I'm working from outside the office.

If I had more than one place to put it, I'd probably forget to put it down one of the places.

But if that wasn't needed, then this would surely be a nice to have.

Since i have to announce and request leaves and home-working days beforehand, I wouldn’t find this too useful, I just extract our time tracking tool infos, if I need to

We ended up just using a shared Outlook calendar with specific categories for Office and WFH because everyone already had it open. If you want something more automated, check out specialized desk booking apps like Envoy or Robin. They handle the who is where part really well and give you actual data on office utilization without making people feel like they're being micromanaged.
