DayFront

The open-source CalDAV frontend.

Own your day. Own your data.

DayFront is a modern, self-hosted web interface for calendars and tasks stored on an existing CalDAV server.

DayFront uses standard CalDAV and WebDAV discovery and connects to standards-compliant CalDAV servers through the caldav configuration.

Status: DayFront 1.0 is stable and ready for self-hosted deployment. Compatibility reports for different CalDAV servers are welcome.

Features

• Month, week, day, and agenda calendar views
• Multiple CalDAV calendars with visibility controls and colors
• Create, edit, and safely delete CalDAV calendars
• Toggleable, read-only external iCalendar (.ics) subscriptions
• Timed, all-day, multi-day, and recurring events
• Series and single-occurrence recurrence editing
• Dated and undated CalDAV tasks
• Recurring tasks, subtasks, priorities, and completion workflows
• Light and dark themes
• Docker, Compose, and Unraid deployment support

CalDAV implementations vary in optional features and edge-case behavior. Compatibility reports and fixes for different servers are welcome.

Security boundary

DayFront stores CalDAV credentials only on its backend. It does not currently provide its own user authentication. Keep it on a trusted network or place it behind an authenticating HTTPS reverse proxy before exposing it externally. See the security guide.

Local development

Requirements:

• Node.js 24 or newer
• pnpm 10.14.0
• An accessible CalDAV server

pnpm install --frozen-lockfile
cp config.example.yaml config.yaml
pnpm dev

Edit config.yaml with the CalDAV URL and credentials. The web application is available at http://localhost:5173 during development.

Run the complete local verification suite with:

pnpm verify

Container deployment

The stable image is available for AMD64 and ARM64 hosts:

docker pull ghcr.io/erik-a-smith/dayfront:latest

Alternatively, copy config.example.yaml to config.yaml, configure the CalDAV connection, and build locally:

docker compose up -d --build dayfront

See the deployment guide for Docker, Compose, Unraid, timezone, health-check, and reverse-proxy configuration.
