Slackoff – Organize Slack notifications during and after leave

Summary: Slackoff prioritizes Slack messages while you’re on leave by letting teammates mark them as High or Low priority, showing backup contacts for urgent items and delivering a clean summary upon return. It is self-hosted, ensuring data privacy and eliminating notification chaos after vacations.

What it does

Slackoff auto-responds when you’re tagged during leave and requires teammates to prioritize messages as High or Low. It displays backup contacts for urgent messages and provides a summary sorted by urgency, with noise grouped separately. It also offers a calendar view to track team leave.

Who it's for

Designed for mid-size remote or hybrid teams (100-800 people) in high-dependency roles like Product Managers, Engineering Leads, Design Leads, and Finance/Ops who need effective leave communication management.

Why it matters

Slackoff addresses the problem of post-vacation Slack notification overload by organizing messages based on priority, reducing time spent sorting urgent from non-urgent communications.
