Appointment scheduling software

Appointment scheduling software, itemized

Calendar sync, payments, webhooks, whitelabel embedding, and native MCP support. All behind a single REST API.

Scheduling that just works

Connect your calendar

One-click OAuth for Google, Outlook, or CalDAV. Free/busy checks run on every slot request. If your calendar is blocked, that slot disappears automatically.

Configure your rules

Weekly hours, buffer times, minimum notice, rolling booking windows, and time zone handling. All via API or dashboard.

Never double-book again

A PostgreSQL EXCLUDE constraint prevents overlapping bookings at the database level. Cancellations and reschedules update everything automatically.

Built for developers

Full REST API

OpenAPI 3.1 spec covering event types, bookings, availability, and webhooks. Snake_case JSON, cursor pagination, predictable errors.

API reference →

Webhooks on every event

Booking created, cancelled, rescheduled: your stack gets notified instantly. HMAC-signed payloads with automatic retry on failure.

Webhook docs →

Sandbox mode

Test API keys with isolated data. Run your CI pipeline against real endpoints without touching production bookings.

MCP-Native

Let AI agents book meetings.

Astrocal ships an MCP server out of the box. Any AI agent that speaks MCP can check availability, create bookings, and manage schedules. No custom integration code required.

Embed anywhere, brand completely

Fully themeable via CSS variables

--astrocal-primary: #2563eb;
--astrocal-heading: #2563eb;
--astrocal-radius: 8px;
--astrocal-font: 'Inter', sans-serif;

...and background, text, borders, shadows, and more

Drop in the widget

Script tag, npm package, or React component. Renders in a Shadow DOM container, not an iframe, so your CSS never breaks it and theming flows through CSS custom properties.

Make it yours

CSS custom properties give you full control over colours, fonts, and layout. On paid plans, all Astrocal branding is removed.

Share booking links

Hosted pages that work on any device with automatic time zone detection. Or skip the widget entirely and build your own UI on the API.

Payments and notifications

Stripe payments at booking

Collect deposits or full payment when someone books. Stripe Connect with 135+ currency support built in.

Transactional email

Confirmation, reminder, and cancellation emails with ICS calendar attachments. Sent automatically, no integration needed.

Automatic refunds

Cancellations 24+ hours before the start time are refunded automatically. No manual Stripe dashboard work.

Team scheduling

Round-robin assignment across team members with per-member calendar connections (coming soon). No per-seat pricing, add your whole team.

Platform and security

Row-level security

PostgreSQL-enforced tenant isolation. Every query runs scoped to your organisation, not filtered in application code. Enforced at the database.

Usage dashboard

Monitor API calls, booking volume, and rate limit consumption from the dashboard. Know exactly where you stand on your plan.

Rate limiting

Per-minute and daily quotas protect your account and the platform. Fail-open design means a rate limiter hiccup never blocks your bookings.

Activity log

Every API call, dashboard action, and system event logged with actor, timestamp, and context. Full audit trail out of the box.

Pricing that scales with bookings, not seats

Start free with 10 bookings a month, no credit card. Paid plans from $12, and team members never cost extra.
