About Calamari

Calamari is cloud-based HR software that replaces spreadsheets and email requests with tools for leave management, time and attendance tracking, and employee document storage. The vendor says it is designed for startups, remote-first companies and small to medium-sized businesses.

The product is modular, so teams can start with time off or attendance and add other areas such as core HR, performance surveys and scheduling. The vendor states that onboarding usually takes 3-5 days and that plans run on a monthly subscription with no long-term commitment.

It connects with tools such as Slack, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Jira, Asana and Basecamp, and offers an API for custom integrations. Security features listed include encryption in transit and at rest, and SAML and SSO with Google, Microsoft and Slack. Mobile and web apps are available for employees, and the product supports multilingual and multi-country policies.

  • Timesheets and time clock
  • Employee records and document storage

A 14-day free trial is offered with no card required.
