Built by a CTO who was sick of HR portals

"I've spent 20 years building software and leading engineering teams. Every company I've joined had the same problem: booking a day off meant finding a portal URL, remembering a password, navigating to the right page, and filling out a form.

I built OrOut because that's ridiculous. If your team lives in Slack or Teams, your leave system should too. No portals. No passwords. Just message."
