Spacepad

Spacepad is a privacy-focused room display and booking solution designed for tablets outside meeting spaces and home offices. It synchronizes with calendars to show real-time availability and offers on-device booking and check-in functionality.

Key Features

• Real-time display of room events and current availability
• Integrations with Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, and CalDAV-compatible servers
• On-display ad-hoc booking and room check-in / release workflows
• Full-day schedule view on each display and simple theme/logo customization
• Modern cross-platform client for tablets and a server backend suitable for small to large deployments
• Deployable via Docker with self-hosted or cloud-hosted options; dual licensing with Community and Pro tiers

Use Cases

• Provide tablet-based meeting room displays synced to corporate calendars
• Allow quick on-site bookings and check-ins for hot desks or shared spaces
• Replace proprietary room display hardware with cost-effective tablets and a centralized management backend

Limitations and Considerations

• Commercial deployments with multiple displays require a paid Pro license; the Community license is limited for commercial use to a single display
• Some enterprise features (multi-room overview, organization management, Amazon Fire support) are listed as roadmap items and may be incomplete or pending

Spacepad is suited for IT teams and small-to-medium organizations seeking a lightweight, privacy-conscious room display solution. It balances simple deployment and useful integrations with a paid tier for larger commercial use.
