In their own words
ephios
ephios is a web-based platform for aid organizations to plan duties and personnel. Listed uses include training, concert security, medical services, fire watches, beach lifeguarding, testing services, and continuing education. Organizers can publish events to relevant groups, require confirmation for volunteer signups, and set qualifications such as group leader or paramedic as participation requirements. Role permissions and group visibility help structure access. The platform also lists work-hour tracking, guest participation, change logging, document storage, and PDF and calendar export. Volunteers can use an installable mobile web app with push notifications. Personalized read-only calendar feeds work with Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, Nextcloud Calendar, and Thunderbird. An open-source plugin system can support organization-specific signup processes and workflows such as equipment management. ephios provides a REST API, supports OAuth2 integrations, and can use external OIDC identity providers. Organizations can self-host the open-source software or choose hosted Starter service for €9.99 per month, including up to 100 users, installation, maintenance, and personal email support.
