About Cal.com
Cal.com is a scheduling tool that lets other people book time with you through a shared link. Its code is open source and published on GitHub under the MIT license.
What it does
You set your available hours, connect your calendars and share a booking link. The person booking picks a time that is free for you, and the event is added to both calendars. Confirmation and reminder emails are sent automatically. Teams can route bookings between members, and an option for video calls is built in.
Key features
- Shared booking links
- Calendar connections to avoid clashes
- Event types with set durations
- Built-in video call option
- Open source code on GitHub
Who it's for
Cal.com suits freelancers, consultants, sales teams and anyone who schedules many calls each week. Developers who want to host the tool on their own infrastructure are another likely group, since the code is public.
Pricing and good to know
The code is free under the MIT license, so it can be used and self-hosted. Cal.com also offers a hosted version, and you can sign up with Google, Microsoft or email. Paid plans are listed on its pricing page. The booking pages work in a web browser. Self-hosting means you handle updates, backups and server setup yourself.
