OpenSchedule – A New Scheduling Platform for Organizations
Over the past few months, we have been working on a solution that we will be introducing soon:
OpenSchedule, a modern, self-hosted scheduling platform for organizations and teams.
Why a New Scheduling Solution?
In many projects, we have found that existing scheduling tools often do not reflect the reality of organizations. They are typically designed for simple one-on-one bookings, while real-world requirements are significantly more complex.
Teams operate with different roles, responsibilities, and processes. Appointments are rarely isolated—they are part of workflows that need to be structured and traceable.
This is exactly where OpenSchedule comes in.
More Than Traditional Scheduling
OpenSchedule was built with the goal of treating scheduling not just as a collection of available time slots, but as an integral part of organizational processes.
The platform combines multiple capabilities within a single system:
- Public booking pages and centralized administration work seamlessly together
- Appointments can be planned based on teams and roles, not just individual users
- Multilingual booking flows and consistent branding ensure a unified user experience
At the same time, OpenSchedule integrates into existing infrastructures. Calendars are connected via CalDAV, and the entire email lifecycle, from request to confirmation, is fully covered.
Practical Use
OpenSchedule is already being used in production. In combination with grommunio, we currently use the platform to synchronize and create appointments within existing systems.
One key advantage becomes clear: scheduling is not treated as an isolated tool, but as part of an integrated IT environment.
Focus on Control and Operations
A central aspect of OpenSchedule is its focus on self-hosting. The platform is designed to run in production environments and to integrate seamlessly into existing architectures.
At the same time, we are working on a hosted version for organizations that prefer not to manage operations themselves.
Outlook
As a next step, we will release OpenSchedule as an open-source project.
This creates the foundation for a scheduling solution that is transparent, adaptable, and can be operated independently over the long term.
OpenSchedule is our approach to bringing scheduling closer to the realities of organizations—with clear structures, defined roles, and traceable processes.
