Calino review
A searchable, open-source calendar client for CalDAV users who value local control.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Nov 2026
Calino is a local-first, browser-based calendar client for people who use CalDAV services. It connects to configured CalDAV and CardDAV servers, stores working data locally, and is available as a hosted web app, self-hosted static application, and Android APK. The calendar supports month, week, 3-day, day, agenda, and year views, while VTODO tasks, VJOURNAL entries, contacts, reminders, and categories extend it beyond basic event management. Natural-language event creation and a command palette add faster ways to work with the calendar.
Its strongest fit is an open-source and standards-based ecosystem. Calino supports CalDAV, CardDAV, and Webcal, with two-way calendar synchronization and CardDAV contact detection and display. Optional settings sync is available, and the product does not require a Calino account. That combination suits people who already operate or subscribe to compatible calendar services and want a web client that can also be self-hosted. Full-text search with calendar and date filters, keyword-based category application, desktop notifications, and customizable reminders make the local calendar data easier to manage.
Calino is narrower for collaboration-oriented scheduling. It does not provide shared calendars, server-side sharing, scheduling links, invitation scheduling, or video support, so teams coordinating availability may need a different calendar product. Its feature set is better aligned with personal organization: searchable events, recurring tasks with due dates and priorities, journals, contacts, and multiple calendar views. Choose Calino if open-source deployment, local data handling, and CalDAV compatibility matter most. Choose an alternative when shared planning, booking workflows, or built-in video meetings are central requirements.
