What is SnagTime? SnagTime is a self-hosted scheduling application built with Next.js and Prisma. It handles account registration, workspaces, event types with durations and test pricing, availability management, public booking links with timezone support, booking confirmation and rescheduling, Google Calendar synchronization, Stripe test payments with webhooks, SMTP email notifications, and custom branding. The local demo runs on SQLite with a local calendar adapter, an internal email inbox, and stub payments requiring no external credentials. Production uses PostgreSQL 18 with row-level security, separate web and worker containers, TLS, and authenticated proxy ingress. MIT licensed.
Should you self-host SnagTime? SnagTime scores 44/100 on selfhost.directory (how scoring works ) and ranks #23 of 30 in Calendar & Contacts . It has 400 GitHub stars.
There was no stable release in the past 12 months, so check the repository's recent activity before you rely on it.
Setup is advanced: plan for several services and some ongoing maintenance. It is MIT-licensed and written mostly in Typescript.
Its closest alternative on selfhost.directory is Radicale (69/100, 5 154 stars). It scores higher overall, so compare the two before you pick. See SnagTime vs Radicale side by side.
