What is Easy!Appointments?
Easy!Appointments makes CalDAV sync failures explain themselves.
Easy!Appointments ships slowly through alpha and beta pre-releases. The 1.6.0 cycle added Jitsi meeting links for appointments booked on the public page, a meeting-link field, and a dedicated Google Calendar integration section. The 1.6.1 pre-releases tighten input validation and make CalDAV sync usable on local networks, with failures explained on the calendar page.
What is Skedda?
Skedda is pushing workplace booking data out of its own UI — into tables, insights and now an API.
Skedda's last quarter has been about making the data it already collects visible and usable. Occupancy Insights, the multi-venue Organization Hub and richer visit exports added reporting; a read-only API beta opened the data to outside tools. The newest release redesigns the Visits page so visitor status and custom check-in answers show up inline instead of only in exports.

Easy!Appointments

Easy!Appointments makes CalDAV sync failures explain themselves.
◆ Current state
Easy!Appointments ships slowly through alpha and beta pre-releases. The 1.6.0 cycle added Jitsi meeting links for appointments booked on the public page, a meeting-link field, and a dedicated Google Calendar integration section. The 1.6.1 pre-releases tighten input validation and make CalDAV sync usable on local networks, with failures explained on the calendar page.
◆ Where it's heading
The scheduler is building out integrations (Google Calendar, CalDAV, Jitsi) and then hardening them so self-hosters can diagnose problems without reading logs. Cadence is slow, with months between pre-releases, and the 1.6.0 notes are repeated across three cuts.
◆ Prediction
A 1.6.1 stable release with the CalDAV and validation work is the likely next step; the entries don't show new integrations queued behind it.
Skedda
6.3COLLAB
Skedda is pushing workplace booking data out of its own UI — into tables, insights and now an API.
◆ Current state
Skedda's last quarter has been about making the data it already collects visible and usable. Occupancy Insights, the multi-venue Organization Hub and richer visit exports added reporting; a read-only API beta opened the data to outside tools. The newest release redesigns the Visits page so visitor status and custom check-in answers show up inline instead of only in exports.
◆ Where it's heading
Skedda is shifting from a booking front-end to a source of workplace attendance and visitor data. Each recent release removes an export step, either by surfacing the data in the app or by exposing it programmatically. Visitor management is getting steady attention alongside desk and room booking.
◆ Prediction
The API is likely to widen beyond read-only bookings, probably to occupancy or visitor data, since Skedda said more capabilities are planned. Expect more visitor-management work to follow the Visits redesign.
