Every workday of the payroll period gets one sticker, and cutoff is its last workday.

What do I get?

One board for the whole payroll period, 1–15 or 16 to the end of the month. Every workday wears one sticker, and the red one is what to fix before cutoff.

The NBSBuddy board for Oct 1–15, 2026 with sample data: a red headline reads 1 day needs action, a row of day tiles ends in a CUTOFF tag, and the table lists each day with its sticker, OB time, hours, shift, note and reasons.
  • DoneOB and CS are both approved.
  • WaitingFiled, waiting for approval.
  • Needs actionMissing, disapproved, or the times don't match the shift.
  • Due todayToday isn't fully filed yet.

Sample data. Your board shows your own NBS filings.

How fast is filing?

The File CS/OB dialog with sample data: date 10/14/2026, the shift CW 9.5H 730AM-530PM SP 30MIN BRK, OB time 07:30 AM to 05:30 PM, 10 hours.

Two clicks. The OB times and hours come from your shift, and I file OB and CS together, skipping whatever NBS already has.

  1. Pick your shift
  2. Press File CS/OB

Filed the wrong shift?Delete it while it's still For Approval, then file the day again.

Set it up once.

Your usual OB reason, CS reason and NBS customer live in Settings, saved on this PC. You can still change the reasons for a single filing.

The Settings dialog: OB reason Work from home, CS reason WFH, and the customer 315 CORPORATE OFFICE picked from NBS's list.
  • File today with Ctrl + N, or double-click any day.
  • Reload the period from NBS with F5.
  • Open Settings with Ctrl + ,.

Is my login safe?

Fair question. Here's what happens to your password, and where to check every word in the code.

The NBSBuddy sign-in screen: username, password, a ticked Remember me on this PC box, the Sign in button, and the line: Your password is only sent to NBS and kept in Windows Credential Manager.

  • Your password goes to NBS and nowhere else.

    Every request goes to NBS's own address on the company network. There is no other server.

    Read it in nbs.rs

  • Remember me uses Windows Credential Manager.

    Your password is kept there, encrypted for your Windows account, and NBSBuddy never writes it anywhere else. Log out forgets it. Your username and filing defaults are saved on this PC.

    Read it in creds.rs

  • The window you click can't reach the internet.

    The screen only talks to the app's own core, and only the core talks to NBS.

    Read it in tauri.conf.json

  • It's unofficial, and all of it is public.

    A colleague made it, not IT or the NBS vendor. The installer isn't code-signed yet, and every line it's built from is on GitHub.
