'Stretch My Time Off' suggests ways to use paid leave to take as many consecutive days off as possible

' Stretch My Time Off ' is a website that uses AI to suggest how long a holiday you can get by combining paid leave and holidays. I actually tried using it to see how long a holiday you could get.

Stretch My Time Off - Optimize Your Vacation Days

To calculate the maximum number of holidays, first click 'Country' to select a country.

Select 'Japan' from the pull-down menu. You can select from the list or enter text.

Use the up and down arrows to change the number of paid holidays you can take, and the left and right arrows to select the year. Then, it shows that you can convert 12 days of vacation into 57 days of consecutive holidays.

By scrolling down the page, you can see where on the calendar you should take consecutive days off to maximize the number of consecutive days off. The calendar shows public holidays in purple, and 'days when you should take paid leave' in green.

This site defines consecutive holidays of three or more days as 'consecutive holidays,' and automatically calculates and maximizes how many consecutive days or more you can create by combining holidays. For example, in February 2025, National Foundation Day will be on Tuesday the 11th, so if you take paid leave on Monday the 10th, you will have a four-day holiday. In order to maximize the total number of consecutive holidays of four or more days, the site tells you where you should take the '12 days' you specified as the number of paid holidays.

I changed the number of holidays to '5'. In this case, the 5-day holiday from New Year's Day has been shortened to 3 days. In this way, it is possible to calculate the maximum number of consecutive holidays based on national holidays, but it may not be possible to calculate sufficiently in cases where the first three days of the month are holidays in the first place.

You can also see world holidays by changing the country. For example, set 'Country' to 'United States of America' and select the city name 'New York' since some states in the United States have their own holidays. Then, it was proposed to create a 10-day holiday by taking advantage of the holidays, since 'Abraham Lincoln's Birthday' is a national holiday on Wednesday, February 12, 2025, and 'George Washington's Birthday' is a national holiday on Monday, February 17. In some states, the third Monday of February is a national holiday, combining the birthdays of Washington and Lincoln, and the 22nd is a national holiday because Washington's birthday is February 22, 1732.

According to the creator of Stretch My Time Off, posted on Hacker News, Stretch My Time Off was built to see 'how far AI can go in creating a simple and functional site. For this reason, Stretch My Time Off is created by combining Cursor, which uses AI to automatically generate code and detect errors, with OpenAI's GPT-4o .
