Leave, remote work, training and expenses for Portuguese SMBs, in one place. Employees pick dates on a shared calendar; managers approve with balances, team overlaps and the legal limits of the Código do Trabalho in view, and the annual holiday map comes out as a print-ready PDF.

It also covers what usually lives in spreadsheets: pro-rata accrual and carryover, sick leave with the medical certificate attached, the 40 hours of mandatory training, holiday and Christmas subsidies exported for payroll, and mileage, tolls and meal expenses with the itinerary form for accounting. Approved absences show up in Outlook, Google and Apple Calendar. AI helps managers review requests, and a built-in assistant answers labour-law questions in Portuguese, citing the relevant article. EU-hosted on AWS Ireland (FastAPI, React, Postgres, Terraform). Free for one person; €1 per employee per month plus VAT after that.

An extension of the OSPF routing protocol that lifts the classic two-level area hierarchy and supports arbitrary topologies between Area Border Routers. It introduces new inter-area communication channels so the protocol can compute optimal end-to-end paths across any area layout, while staying backwards-compatible with stock OSPF deployments.
