Best / Calendar servers
Best open-source Calendar servers
The best self-hosted calendar split in the c17.io catalog is Cal.com for an MIT booking page, Rallly when you want that AGPL-3.0 meeting poll rather than a booking page — already on /best/scheduling-polls, EasyAppointments when you want that GPL-3.0 staff calendar, and Radicale when the job is a GPL-3.0 CalDAV box rather than a booking UI — /compare/radicale-vs-baikal. This is not Reclaim's every habit or defensive-meeting SKU, or Motion's every AI day-planner pack. A public booking page with more logos stays on /best/scheduling-booking. A group poll stays on /best/scheduling-polls.
