What is Dashy?
Dashy shipped ten releases in five days; one fixes how auth headers trust origins
Dashy ships one release per merged PR. From October 26 to 31 that meant ten releases: six were Dependabot bumps, and the rest were fixes, including accepting IPv6 connections by default, a workspace header and search fix, an icon color fix, and a security fix for auth headers used with lookalike origins.
What is SavvyCal?
SavvyCal lets Claude or ChatGPT book and move meetings through an MCP server on every plan.
SavvyCal ships about once a month, and its latest release is the largest in a year: an MCP server on every plan that lets AI assistants find times, book or move meetings, block time and run polls. Earlier releases were contained refinements such as duplicating workflows, locking links before an event, per-event buffers and multi-language booking pages.

Dashy shipped ten releases in five days; one fixes how auth headers trust origins
◆ Current state
Dashy ships one release per merged PR. From October 26 to 31 that meant ten releases: six were Dependabot bumps, and the rest were fixes, including accepting IPv6 connections by default, a workspace header and search fix, an icon color fix, and a security fix for auth headers used with lookalike origins.
◆ Where it's heading
The cadence stays automated and small-grained, with the maintainer's own fixes interleaved with dependency updates.
◆ Prediction
More single-PR releases will follow; the entries give no sign of a larger feature release.
SavvyCal
2.5INFRA · APIS
SavvyCal lets Claude or ChatGPT book and move meetings through an MCP server on every plan.
◆ Current state
SavvyCal ships about once a month, and its latest release is the largest in a year: an MCP server on every plan that lets AI assistants find times, book or move meetings, block time and run polls. Earlier releases were contained refinements such as duplicating workflows, locking links before an event, per-event buffers and multi-language booking pages.
◆ Where it's heading
For most of the year SavvyCal has added control for hosts and assistants who schedule for others. The MCP server extends that to software assistants: the same booking and rescheduling actions now work from a chat. That puts SavvyCal's scheduling logic inside other tools instead of only on its booking pages.
◆ Prediction
Expect follow-ups that widen what the MCP server can do, such as more scheduling actions. The single release gives little else to predict from.
