AGPL-3.0InfCloud is a self-hosted web client for CalDAV calendars and CardDAV contacts, offering browser scheduling directly on your personal server.
Open-source alternative to — compare it against:
Overview
InfCloud delivers a dedicated web interface for CalDAV calendars and CardDAV address books. Built entirely in JavaScript, it runs inside the browser and connects directly to personal DAV servers without an intermediary application database. This design provides browser access to appointments, task lists, and contacts while keeping all data on self-hosted infrastructure.
Why InfCloud instead of Fastmail Calendar
Fastmail Calendar anchors its scheduling workflow inside a unified hosted email service, automatically parsing incoming invitations and returning RSVP responses. In contrast, InfCloud treats scheduling as an independent activity separated from an inbox. Users log into the browser to view monthly schedules, drag appointments across time slots, and track to-do lists stored on their own CalDAV server. For non-technical users who keep their daily agenda isolated from incoming mail, InfCloud offers an uncluttered environment focused strictly on appointments and contacts.
That independence involves operational tradeoffs. Fastmail Calendar manages server infrastructure, backups, and device syncing behind a monthly fee. InfCloud eliminates subscription costs, but relies on a separate backend such as Radicale and lacks modern conveniences like automated meeting links or natural language parsing. Fastmail suits people needing a managed, email-integrated schedule; InfCloud fits users wanting a browser portal to edit self-hosted calendars without commercial subscriptions.

- Address book tools support contact searching, custom card groups, phone numbers, postal addresses, and contact photos.
- Multilingual interface support includes built-in translations for over a dozen languages, helping international teams and families navigate easily.
- Client-side execution runs directly in any modern desktop browser without requiring local sync software on the machine.
