LayoffKit
Every layoff deadline on one calm screen — in your browser, offline
Enter your termination date and the dates on your packet, and LayoffKit builds the whole clock wall: severance sign-by, 7-day revocation, COBRA, 401k rollover, options, unemployment. Plus the OWBPA rules engine, a runway meter and the layoff binder. Free, no install, nothing uploaded.
Stored in your browser only. Nothing you do in the web version is sent to our servers. Clear your browser data and it's gone — so export a backup from the in-app menu if you want to keep it.

What you can do in LayoffKit on the web
The clock wall
Every post-layoff deadline stacked as a live day-count — sign-by, revocation, COBRA election, 401k rollover, option exercise, non-compete expiry, unemployment file-by — sorted by urgency, tinted teal, amber inside two weeks, red inside three days, with the rule behind each date in plain language.
The OWBPA rules engine
Answers three questions — individual or group layoff, packet date, any material changes — and computes the 21-or-45-day review window, restarts it from the date the offer materially changed, and chains a 7-day revocation countdown off the day you record as signed.
Runway meter
Turns cash on hand, severance, and a weekly unemployment estimate against your monthly burn into one months-of-runway dial, the date your money runs out, a source breakdown and a month-by-month coverage chart.
The layoff binder
A severance-terms worksheet (payout, health continuation, equity treatment, non-compete, references) and a benefits inventory (dental, HSA, FSA, 401k, PTO payout) that fill inline and export as one dated file for your spouse or advisor.
Clock wall share card
Renders your open clocks as a teal-on-cream card — 'Severance sign-by: 27d · COBRA: 36d · File unemployment: NOW' — with copy and share, so everyone cut in the same RIF gets on the same footing.
Prep Mode
Build the binder before anything happens: a six-step fire-drill checklist of what to save while you still have access, plus runway numbers, that converts to a live clock wall on termination day.

Questions
Is the web version of LayoffKit free?+
Yes. Every screen is free to use: no subscription, no in-app purchases, no account.
Do I need an account?+
No. Open LayoffKit and start using it right away. Sign in with Google only if you want to upvote an app, save it to your list, or leave a comment.
Where is my data stored?+
Only in this browser's local storage. Nothing you enter is sent to our servers, so we can't see it, back it up, or restore it. Clearing site data, a private window, or another device starts empty. Export a backup from the in-app menu to keep it.
Is there a LayoffKit app for iPhone or Android?+
Not yet. LayoffKit is a community proposal: the browser version is complete, and we build the iPhone and Android app once 100 people upvote it. Upvoters get one email when it ships.
