In simple English
Analog is a calendar program that you can host on your own computer or server. It lets you see and manage your schedule in one place. You can connect it to your existing Google or Microsoft accounts to sync your events. It is free to download and use under an MIT licence. Setting it up requires some technical knowledge of the command line and Docker.
What it is
Analog is a self-hosted calendar application built with TypeScript and Next.js (a framework for building web applications with JavaScript). It uses PostgreSQL (a system for storing data in tables) for its database and connects to external calendar services.
What it is good for
This is good for solo builders who want a modern calendar app they can control entirely on their own server instead of relying on a commercial service.
- Brings multiple calendar accounts into one clean interface.
- Open-source code you can inspect, modify, and host yourself.
- Built with modern web technologies including Next.js and Tailwind CSS.
- Requires technical setup with Docker and environment variables.
- Needs external API keys from Google or Microsoft to sync calendar data.
- Relies on Docker (a way to run a program inside its own sealed box, so it cannot break anything else on your server) to run the database.
