New maXXplan: shift schedules and a time clock for your team
Time off for teams.
Time off for teams.
bye Excel.
maXXteam replaces the vacation spreadsheet: your team submits time-off requests in the app, you approve with one click — and the calendar shows with a traffic light exactly where it gets tight.

Why maXXteam
The vacation spreadsheet
had a good run.
A locked file, broken formulas, “V?” in three colors, and someone still asks by email in the end. With maXXteam, team time-off planning, remaining days and absence planning live in one place.
Beforev7_NEW(2)
- One place for all requests — in the app, not in your inbox
- Approve with one click, the team knows right away
- The traffic light shows bottlenecks before they happen
- Remaining days calculate themselves — no #VALUE!
- Public holidays and school holidays are already in
- Nobody locks the file, because there is no file

Green means: it fits.
Every box is a day, and the number tells you how many people are away. Measured against your rules: green means plenty of room, yellow means room for one more person, red is full. Drag the slider to 2 and see what “max. 2 away at once” means for your team in summer.

Requests & approval
Decided in
seconds.
All open requests sit in one list — sorted by urgency, with conflict warnings and a look at how busy exactly those days are. One click approves, and if you like the keyboard: J/K to move, A approves, D declines.
- Approve several conflict-free requests at once
- Conflicts with blackout periods and capacity limits show up beforehand
- Live: the dashboard updates by itself

Rules
Blackouts and
capacity limits.
“In summer, two people away at most”, “Nobody at year-end close”, “Between the years one is enough” — set up once as a rule, maXXteam checks every request against it, day by day. The preview shows right away which days would be affected.
- Blackout periods for stocktaking, trade fairs, quarter-end
- Capacity per period: max. N people away at once
- Approving despite a conflict stays possible — on purpose
max. 2 away at once · summer1 July – 31 August

Decline with a plan B
Here, no means:
how about …
When a request doesn't fit, maXXteam finds the next free periods of the same length itself — no blackout, no capacity problem. One tap adds them to your reply. “Declined” turns into a suggestion.

New · maXXplan
Shift schedules and a time clock.
No paper, no spreadsheets.
maXXplan turns maXXteam into complete workforce planning: shifts in a monthly plan, clocking in at a tablet or in the app, every balance live. With grace periods, overtime approval and breaks that follow the law in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

Monthly plan
Type instead of click.
The whole month as boxes, like in the old spreadsheet days, except maXXplan does the math. Click a box, type X, done. Select several and fill them all at once.
- X = present per weekly template, 6-14 = custom times, codes like K, K!, S, U or BS4 for 4 hours of vocational school
- Time off from maXXteam requests shows up automatically
- Public holidays, bridge days and school holidays as in the calendar, each person's days off hatched
- Grouped by department, a red 0 warns you when nobody is in on a working day
- Weekly templates, copy week, undo with Ctrl/Cmd+Z

Give it a try: click a box (drag with the mouse to select several), then type K, U or X and press Enter. On a phone: tap a box, then pick the code below.
Time clock terminal
The time clock is a tablet.
Put a tablet at the entrance, scan the QR code from maXXteam, done. Everyone clocks in with a short code or employee ID and a PIN. No account of their own, no app.
- Break button: the next clock-in ends the break, even if it runs long
- Set up in seconds and lockable at any time if a tablet gets lost
- After five wrong PINs, it's locked for ten minutes
- Big clock, big keypad, light or dark to match the tablet
Mobile clock-in
Working from home? One tap.
Anyone who's allowed to clocks in with the app: clock in, break, clock out, with a running clock. When clocking in, you can optionally pick the work location, such as home office, field work or business trip.
- You enable mobile clock-in per person; everyone else clocks in at the terminal
- No GPS, no location tracking
- Today, week, balance and monthly statement live in your pocket
- Forgot to clock in? Request a correction, your lead confirms
Grace periods, your way
Open (every minute counts), a grace period of X minutes per side (earlier and later), or none at all. Adjustable for the team, each department and each person. Anyone who simply shifts their start and end has nothing to approve. Real extra hours beyond that reach the lead as extra time (with an explanation of how they came about): approve in full, in part or not at all. If the lead enters times themselves, the extra time counts as approved right away.
Overtime with rules
8 h
paid out per month, the rest is carried over or expires. Plus carry-over with a cap, negative hours yes or no, daily target hours and a daily maximum. The month-end close calculates it all automatically.
Breaks by law
| DE | from 6 h: 30 min · from 9 h: 45 min |
|---|---|
| AT | from 6 h: 30 min |
| CH | from 5.5 h: 15 min · from 7 h: 30 min · from 9 h: 1 h |
Custom rules like “one hour of break from 6 hours” work too. maXXplan never goes below the law.
Absence types with codes
UKK!BSSHOZA+
16 types are ready to go, and you add your own. Each one calculates correctly: credit target hours, fixed hours (vocational school 6 h), neutral (parental leave), time off in lieu or work location. With a pay type for payroll.
Everyone sees their account
The balance runs live while you work. The monthly statement shows carry-over, balance, paid out, expired and the new total, with your company logo and a print view if you like. Employees only see their own hours.
Permissions and audit log
Department leads plan and approve only for their own people. Time entries are never deleted, only voided, and every change goes into the log. Late entries come with a note.
maXXplan is included in Corporate and can be added to every other plan as an add-on.

Privacy
Only what's needed. No diagnoses.
For time-off planning, maXXteam stores when someone is off, never why. For regular time off, maXXteam never asks for a reason. For special leave, only the person themselves and their lead (team lead or the responsible department lead) see the occasion; the rest of the team only sees that someone is away. With maXXplan, working hours and absence types such as “Sick” come along, as time tracking requires. Only the person themselves and their lead see those, never the rest of the team. There is deliberately no field for diagnoses or sick notes, and mobile clock-in records no location. A note on a request is optional and visible only to the person and their lead. Like all data, it is transmitted over HTTPS and stored AES-256-encrypted in a data center in Europe. The server can read it. No ads, no trackers, no selling of data.

HR wants paper?
They get it.
Your team plans digitally, your company gets its familiar form — filled in, no retyping. Plus: school-holiday priority for parents, cancellations only with approval, and your own company logo.
Your form. Filled in. Signed on the phone.
The team lead uploads the company's time-off form once (a PDF with form fields) and maps the fields — maXXteam suggests a mapping. After approval, the person gets their request fully filled in, in the app, signs with a finger, and shares, saves or prints it.
- It's filled in with the real numbers: name, employee ID, period, days, annual allowance, remaining days, already taken, balance, approved by and on
- Signature with a finger — remembered if you like, on this device only
- The lead can download any request as a PDF from the dashboard (without a signature)
School holidays first for those who need them.
With one click on “Import school holidays”, you create your state's holidays as priority periods and reserve them for selected people first — for example parents of school-age children. Everyone else sees the days as reserved and can only plan once you release the period. Per period, entirely in your hands.
- Special leave always remains possible — school-holiday priority doesn't apply to it
- Only the lead sees who has priority — it stays invisible to the team
- Reserved days are marked purple in the calendar and timeline
Approved time off doesn't vanish quietly.
Anyone who no longer needs approved time off doesn't just withdraw it, but requests the cancellation. The lead agrees or declines — until then, the time off stays in the calendar and the capacity stays booked. So there are no surprises shortly before the vacation.
- The cancellation request appears under “To decide” — in the dashboard and in the app
- Agreeing frees up the days, declining leaves everything as it was
Not “just any app”. Yours.
With the Corporate license, your team gets an interface in your company's look: logo, company name and color in the app and dashboard. For teams rolling out maXXteam across the whole company.
- Company name and logo appear in the dashboard sidebar
- Your own color as an accent
Deputies at a glance
You set a deputy per person. If someone requests time off while their deputy is away too, maXXteam shows that as a conflict, in the app and the dashboard. Included from Team 10, available as an add-on on smaller plans.
Employee ID & special leave
One employee ID per person — it ends up on the request form. Special leave (moving, wedding, birth, time off in lieu …) doesn't count against the allowance.
Pro-rata time off & waiting period
From the start date, maXXteam calculates time off pro rata in the year of joining: by the statutory rule for Germany, Austria and Switzerland, or “always pro rata”. In Germany: full vacation if you join by 1 July, otherwise 1/12 per full month. If someone requests time off before the waiting period ends, maXXteam shows that as a conflict.
Team table: employee ID, start date with pro-rata time off and waiting period, school-holiday priority and vacation balance — editable right there, per person.
Also new
The calendar thinks along.
And reminds.
Bridge days you spot early. Working days that are right for each person. Reminders so time-off planning gets finished in time. Built for everyone who is responsible for a team.
Bridge days at a glance
The calendar marks bridge days automatically. If a public holiday falls on a Thursday, the Friday after it is such a day: 1 vacation day, 4 days off in a row. It's calculated from your team's working days and your region's public holidays in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, including state or canton.
- You see early where bottlenecks loom and can set a capacity rule
- In the app and on the web, can be switched off at any time
Public holiday Bridge day off
Working days per team and per person
Your company decides whether Saturday, for example, is a working day. You set part-time per person, such as Mon–Thu. Time off only counts on real working days: if someone enters Mon–Sun, it only uses up their working days. The server checks that too.
- Weekends and days off are hatched in the calendar
- Optionally, only leads may change working days
Working day (part-time Mon–Thu) off
Push reminders
Set a planning deadline, for example “Plan 2027 time off by 31 January”. Until then, everyone who still has open days gets a daily reminder. You can also remind individual people about their remaining days and expiring carry-over.
- Everyone can unsubscribe from reminders themselves
- Part of Corporate, available as an add-on on other plans
- Push currently on iPhone
- The conflict check ignores a person's days off: no false capacity warnings on weekends.
- In the time-off form, “already taken” now shows the total of approved days for the whole year.
- Light or dark theme in the app, dashboard and time clock terminal, automatically matching your device if you like.
- Department filter works the same everywhere: what you pick in the calendar also applies in the schedule.
Pricing

FAQ
Good to know.
How much does maXXteam cost?
maXXteam is free during the beta. After that, there's Free for small teams of up to 3 people, plans for 5, 10, 25 people (€7 per month, €14 per month, €29 per month, two months free when billed yearly) and Corporate for larger organizations with several teams (€39 per month plus €0.90 per person and €3 per team). All prices are net prices.
Does everyone on the team need an account?
No. Employees join with just a code and their name, with no email and no password. Whoever creates and leads a team needs a free bygue account, the same one for all bygue apps.
How do people join the team?
Through the team code (also as a QR code and link), through personal one-time codes by email, or by pasting a list from Excel. If you like, you confirm every join request first.
Does maXXteam account for public holidays and part-time work?
Yes. Public holidays come per state or canton from the same engine as urlaubmaXXing, and school holidays are stored for Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Vacation days only count on each person's working days.
How does maXXteam count part-time work and weekends?
Your company decides which weekdays are working days, for example whether Saturday counts. For part-time, you set individual working days per person, such as Mon–Thu. Time off only counts on a person's working days: if someone enters a period from Monday to Sunday, it only uses up their working days, and the server checks that too. If you like, only leads can change working days. The conflict check ignores a person's days off, so there are no false capacity warnings on weekends.
Can maXXteam also track working time?
Yes, with maXXplan: shift schedules as a monthly plan, clocking in at a tablet terminal or in the app, time accounts and monthly statements. In Germany, Austria and Switzerland, employers generally have to record working time. maXXplan deducts breaks at least as the respective law requires and calculates grace periods, overtime approval and monthly rules the way you set them. maXXplan is included in Corporate and can be added to every other plan as an add-on.
Does everyone need a phone to clock in?
No. A tablet at the entrance is enough as a time clock: short code or employee ID plus PIN, no account and no app. Mobile clock-in, for example for working from home, is enabled by the lead per person. No location is recorded.
Who sees when someone is sick?
Only the person themselves and their lead, meaning the team lead or the responsible department lead. The rest of the team doesn't see absence reasons from maXXplan. There is deliberately no field for diagnoses or sick notes.
Can I approve despite a rule?
Yes — on purpose. maXXteam shows you the conflict and suggests alternatives, but the decision stays with you.
Our HR department needs the request on paper — can we do that?
Yes. The team lead uploads the company's time-off form once as a PDF with form fields and maps the fields. After approval, the person gets the request fully filled in, in the app, signs with a finger, and shares, saves or prints it. The lead can also download any request as a PDF from the dashboard, then without a signature.
What is school-holiday priority?
With school-holiday priority, you reserve school holidays for selected people first, for example parents of school-age children. Everyone else sees the days as reserved and can only plan once you release the period. Special leave always remains possible. Only the lead sees who has priority.
When do the apps arrive?
The apps for iPhone and Android are in the works and coming soon. The dashboard for team leads already runs in the browser today.
