What WARP is

WARP is a self-hosted system for coordinating hybrid office space, including assigned desks, hot desks, and reservable spaces such as parking stalls. Users can book, change, or cancel reservations and check who else will be in the office. Administrators manage maps, zones, groups, and users; zone roles and seat assignments control who can view or book spaces.

Subscribable iCal feeds carry bookings and reminders to Google Calendar, Outlook, Apple Calendar, and other calendar apps. Users can receive automatic notifications about upcoming bookings and export past booking reports to Excel. WARP works on mobile and can be installed as a progressive web app; no native mobile app is specified. Authentication options include SAML 2.0, LDAP or Active Directory, Azure AD, and generic OIDC. Production deployment uses a container image with PostgreSQL, and published images support linux/amd64 and linux/arm64. The project is open source under an MIT license, and its self-hosted plan is listed as free. The maker says approval workflows are not planned because the system is intended to run without management approvals.
