Rallly
Open-source group scheduling and meeting-time polling.
84
sovereigntyRallly solves a different but related problem: instead of one person publishing a booking link, it lets a group vote on the best time for a meeting across several proposed slots — the open-source answer to Doodle that also covers a chunk of Calendly's group-scheduling use case. It's actively developed and offers a hosted version (rallly.co) alongside a documented self-hosted Docker deployment.

What it does well
- +Simple, focused tool that's genuinely good at the group-availability-poll problem
- +Active project (5,100+ stars, commits within the last day) with a documented Docker Compose deployment
- +AGPL-3.0 keeps improvements to a hosted fork open
Where it falls short
- −Not a 1:1 booking-page replacement — no per-provider service catalog, payments, or staff management like Calendly/Easy!Appointments
- −Primary distribution is the hosted rallly.co app; self-hosting is supported but secondary in the project's own messaging
- −AGPL-3.0 requires you to publish modifications if you offer a modified version as a network service
