Solo dev launches DayOtter, open-source scheduling tool with a scoped AI assistant
DayOtter is scheduling and booking software, similar to a mix of Calendly and Motion, with a built-in called Otter. The creator deliberately avoided building a general that tries to handle notes, to-dos, groceries, and calendars all at once and does each poorly; instead Otter is scoped narrowly to scheduling tasks.
It automatically sends a heads-up message when you're running late to a meeting, proactively suggests meeting times and next steps, and protects blocks of focus time. Users can interact with it in plain language, by voice, or through WhatsApp/SMS.
The core platform includes booking pages, calendar sync, team round-robin assignment, routing, reminders, , and analytics. The project is under AGPLv3 with free , priced free for individuals and $9 per seat for teams.
