Effective Office
Effective Office is an open-source app for managing meeting rooms. It is described as a way to book a meeting room in seconds and to manage rooms simply and transparently, with an emphasis on helping teams avoid conflicts, save time, and support collaboration.
Its main features are real-time room status, two-way sync with Google Calendar, and cross-platform support. Room availability updates appear without launching the app or refreshing it, so status is shown at a glance. Bookings made on a tablet are reflected in Google Calendar and back again. The product is built with Kotlin Multiplatform and is described as providing native performance on Android and iPadOS.
The site also mentions additional tools for a smarter office: a TV App that shows news, events, leaderboards, and metrics on any office TV, and an SMS Router App that automatically routes incoming messages to the right systems using SIM or eSIM. The page repeatedly points to GitHub for access, and it identifies the project as open source. It is built by effective.dev.
