Baïkal

The iCloud, Google Contacts and Fruux alternative

From $10 / month · billed monthly · cancel anytime

2 GB storage

Baïkal is a CalDAV and CardDAV server: one private address that syncs your calendars and contacts to the phone, laptop, and tablet apps you already use. It is an alternative to iCloud and Google Contacts built on the same open standards, so Apple Calendar, Thunderbird, and DAVx5 connect natively with no bridge or plugin. Your address book is a map of everyone you know, and running it on your own infrastructure keeps that map private.

Frequently asked

How much does it cost to host Baïkal?
Hosting Baïkal on Zenith is $10 / month, billed monthly until you cancel.
How long does Baïkal take to deploy?
Most apps are live on your own subdomain in about two minutes after you deploy.
Do I need to manage a server to run Baïkal?
No. Zenith runs Baïkal for you, with no servers to provision or maintain.
Can I use my own domain with Baïkal?
Yes. Each deployment gets a Zenith subdomain, and you can map your own custom domain to it afterwards.
Can I manage Baïkal with Claude or another AI agent?
Yes. Zenith has a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server at https://zenith.hosting/mcp. Add the endpoint from Claude, Cursor or another MCP client, connect your account, and ask the agent to deploy, configure, inspect or delete your Baïkal deployment. The agent can read and set environment variables. Write-only secrets stay hidden; generated credentials may be returned. Deployment inspection reports live status, HTTPS reachability and summarized resource usage without exposing credentials. A paid deployment requires price approval. Deletion permanently removes the deployment and its data after separate confirmation. Setup is at https://zenith.hosting/connect.
