Our verdict on DayFront

DayFront is an open-source, self-hosted web interface for calendars and tasks stored on an existing CalDAV server. It is aimed at individuals and teams who already manage data through CalDAV, WebDAV, or iCalendar and want a browser-based interface they can run themselves. Calendar views cover month, week, day, and agenda layouts, while the task system supports dated and undated tasks, recurring tasks, and subtasks. Authentication can use one configured account or individual CalDAV logins.

Its strongest fit is the combination of calendar depth and standard protocol support. DayFront can work with multiple CalDAV calendars, apply visibility controls and colors, and create, edit, or delete calendars. Events can be timed, all-day, multi-day, or recurring, with recurrence editing for full series or individual occurrences. Search includes optional fuzzy matching and keyboard navigation. Read-only external iCalendar subscriptions add a way to display outside schedules without making them part of the editable calendar workflow.

Deployment is suited to self-hosters rather than users seeking a managed calendar service. Docker, Docker Compose, and Unraid options provide several containerized paths, while the existing CalDAV server remains central to storage and synchronization. DayFront should appeal to users who value ownership, protocol compatibility, and detailed event handling. Those who need mobile apps, scheduling links, video features, or a broader people-oriented sharing workflow should choose a calendar product built around those capabilities instead.
