The open-source Calendly alternative built on Solid Pods. Self-host it, audit it, fork it. EU-hosted managed version available. Works with Nextcloud, iCloud, Google, and any CalDAV calendar.
Every line of code is on GitHub under the MIT licence. Read it, fork it, change it, contribute to it. No vendor lock-in. No black box. No “trust us” — verify it yourself.
Your scheduling data lives in a Solid Pod — the W3C-standard personal data store from Tim Berners-Lee. Use any Solid provider, or run your own Community Solid Server on your infrastructure. The Pod is the source of truth, not us.
Run PodCal entirely on your own infrastructure — app, database, and Solid Pod, all on your servers. No cloud dependency. No subscription. No data leaving your network. Or use our managed EU-hosted version if you'd rather not deal with ops.
Built on the Solid protocol — the decentralized data standard created by Tim Berners-Lee. Your Pod is the permanent copy; our encrypted cloud keeps things fast.
Sign in with Solid-OIDC. Your identity is portable — not locked to our platform. Works with any Solid identity provider.
Bookings and events are stored in your Solid Pod and synced to our encrypted EU database for fast access. Clear the server copy anytime — your Pod is the source of truth.
Get a clean booking page at your subdomain or custom domain. Visitors pick a time, both sides get .ics calendar invites, and your booking is synced back to whatever calendar you use — Nextcloud, iCloud, Google, anything CalDAV.
A complete scheduling platform — without the surveillance business model.
15-minute calls, 1-hour consultations, recurring standups — create any event type with custom durations and buffers.
Day, week, month, and agenda views with drag-and-drop. Open calendar.podcal.eu for a focused, full-screen experience. ICS feed available for any external calendar.
Two-way CalDAV sync with Nextcloud, Radicale, Google Calendar, iCloud, and Fastmail. ICS feed support for Proton Calendar, Outlook, and any read-only calendar. Avoid double-bookings automatically.
Your colors, your logo, your subdomain. Remove the PodCal badge on Pro plans for a fully white-labeled experience.
Trigger workflows when bookings are created, canceled, or rescheduled. Connect to Zapier, n8n, or your own backend.
Round-robin and collective scheduling for teams. Each member keeps their own Solid Pod — privacy preserved for everyone.
Automated confirmations and reminders via email. Attendees and organizers get .ics calendar invites with every booking.
Detects visitor timezones automatically. Shows availability in their local time. No more "wait, is that EST or PST?"
Your scheduling data stored in a W3C-standard Solid Pod with an encrypted server copy for performance. Fully portable, fully yours.
See which event types are popular, peak booking times, and no-show rates. All processed locally — no third-party analytics.
Share time-limited booking links with custom availability. Perfect for campaigns, events, or short-lived office hours. Links auto-expire and show a friendly message.
