Decide who opens which door, and see who did.
Connect the locks you have, give each person the doors and hours they need, and see every door that opens, is refused or is forced, from a desk or a phone.
Every door, who may open it and who did
Offices, hotels, clubs, coworking spaces and venues, in one account and on your own clock.
Doors and Zones
Every lock, locker, barrier and lift.
Keys and Codes
Cards, mobile keys, PINs and grants.
Visitors
Invited, checked in, watched for.
Live
Alarms and who is inside.
Alerts
Lockdowns and the roll call.
Activity
Every door event, on record.
On a Phone
The building, with or without signal.
Connect your doors and arrange them into zones
A lock connects once, through the app its maker already gives you, and keeps its place on your list. Zones sit inside zones, so a grant to a floor opens every door on it. Lockers, car park barriers and lift floors are doors too. Unlock or Lock shows what the door itself answered.
Every lock, where it is, and what it answered.
Doors and Their State
Every lock, card reader, keypad and biometric reader on one list, with its place, state, battery and last activity.
Connect a Lock
Connect the app account your locks already use, and they join your door list with nothing to install.
Unlock and Lock
Open or lock a door from its page, and see what the door itself answered.
Door Sync
Where each door’s codes stand; what did not land is sent again.
Cameras at the Door
Your own cameras’ live picture on the door and on each alarm, from the camera’s own cloud. Calisto records nothing.
Every Location
Every place you work from in one account, each with its own doors and zones.
Issue the key, the code or the grant that opens
Cards, badges, mobile keys, wallet passes and PINs on one list, each with its holder, door, window and use. Zone Access and Staff Access grant whole zones. Every change reaches its doors through one sync.
Keys
Mobile keys, cards, badges, biometric and temporary links on one list, with each holder, door, status and uses.
Wallet Passes
Apple Wallet and Google Wallet, in your brand, decided at each tap.
PIN Codes
Each code with its door, holder and window, and whether it is on the door yet.
Zone Access
Give a person whole zones, with their own dates and daily hours, and a door PIN if you want one.
Staff Access
Reusable access levels covering zones, extra doors and a schedule, given to your staff in one place.
Stay and Room Codes, With Stays
A stay’s code at check-in; a cleaner’s for the turnover, ended when it is done.
Record a Key
A key made in your own door system, typed back so both name it.
Cards That Can Be Copied
Each card’s technology is recorded, and you allow the kinds that can be copied, mark them, or refuse them.
Confirmed With Fingerprint or Face
A zone can ask that a phone key be confirmed with the person’s own fingerprint or face.
People from Your Directory
Your Entra ID, Okta or JumpCloud invites new people, and someone it switches off loses their keys and door access.
Check visitors in, and know who is still inside
Here Now checks a walk-in in at once; Expected Later sends an invitation with its QR code and guest WiFi. One scanner reads an invitation or a pass. A visitor past their visit is Overstayed, kept on the list, and their host told.
Here Now or Expected Later
Here Now checks a walk-in in at once. Expected Later sends a link to pre-register before the visit.
Answer an alarm, and see who is inside
Live shows active alarms and doors forced, held open or offline. Occupancy shows each zone’s count, maximum and room left, and how it was counted; a room with no counter says Not measured.
Arm a lockdown or an evacuation, then count everyone
A swipe arms a protocol, sends its door commands and records each door’s outcome. The roll call opens on every phone; I’m Safe and each mark work with no signal. On Site Now prints everyone inside.
Swipe to Activate
Tap a lockdown, an evacuation or a shelter in place, see what it will do, and swipe to arm it.
Keep a record of every door event
Every passage, phone tap, refusal and door fact, with the person, the door and how they presented. An incident is reported from an alarm or a door, and is sent once even with no signal.
Activity Log
Every passage, phone tap and refusal, with the person, the door, how they presented and why a door said no.
Incidents
Report a lockout, a dead battery or a lost key from an alarm or a door, and resolve it with notes.
Guard Tours, With Dispatch
Rounds of doors and QR or NFC checkpoints, each one reached, late, skipped or missed.
Reports
Access frequency, denied access, after-hours entries and the audit trail.
Rules, With Automations
Every notice is a rule; every door event can start one of yours.
Export
The selected events, as a file.
Run the building from a phone, signal or not
Live, Visitors, Alerts and Doors are the phone’s tabs, and the Home puts Activate a Protocol one tap away. The alerts, doors, visitors and Live View open with no signal, from what you chose to keep on the device.
Where Access touches everything else.
3 of these 8 connections are in your plan today; the others are their own apps.
Signal
Locks connect at Signal’s one connection point, and Signal watches their batteries, firmware and health.
Automations
Every notice Access sends is a rule you can change or pause, and every door event can start one of your own.
WiFi
Each visitor’s invitation carries one guest WiFi code for the visit.
Display
An alert and an official warning go over the TVs where they are raised and come off at the all-clear.

A stay’s door code goes on the room’s locks at check-in, and Door Keys runs inside the front desk.
Coworking
Coworking’s Visitors and Day Passes are Access’s own screens, and members invite their guests from their portal.

- Smart locks, card readers, keypads and biometric readers on one door list, with each door’s state, battery, last activity and where its codes stand.
- A door has its Location and its Placement (“Second floor, north stairwell”), and the Location’s time zone is the one its code windows run on.
- Locks reach Calisto through their manufacturer’s cloud or over MQTT, connected once at Signal’s connection point, opened in place from Access (with Signal).
- Door Sync: waiting, sent, in sync, partly, failed, not connected or not supported, for every door; what did not land is tried again every minute.
- Unlock and Lock from a door’s page or Commands, followed by what the door itself answered: dispatched, partial, failed or not connected.
- A ball dispenser is a door too: its unlock gives a bucket, decided by the same rules (with Golf).
- Each door has a kind: a door, a locker, a car park barrier or a lift reader, each a lock in the per-lock price.
- Lockers in banks: a locker held for someone opens for their key and only theirs, or a bank lets anyone take a free one until its release time; Assign and Release on the desk and the phone.
- Car parks: a license plate is a key, a visitor’s plate opens for their visit, and a plate camera’s read opens the barrier when Access allows it.
- Lift floors: a key at a lift reader switches on the floors it may reach, each floor on its own hours and rules.
- Shared buildings: a landlord shares chosen zones and hours with its tenant businesses, their admins give their own people phone access, the landlord sees everyone by tenant, and ending the agreement revokes it all.
- Site Plan: a place’s floor plan with every door in its live state, locked or unlocked with a tap; Map: every location with its worst state.
- Reader and panel health, firmware and diagnostics stay in Signal, which watches the same devices (with Signal).
- Zones inside zones at any depth: a floor, a restaurant on it, a table in that. A grant to a zone opens every door inside it.
- Each zone records its Location, the zone it sits inside, its doors, its access class and level, and its maximum.
- Schedules and Holidays: when a grant or a code works, on the business’s own clock.
- Rules name their doors: the doors that open only inside the rule’s window, and the doors refused outright.
- What a zone’s hours do: open for a key, hold the doors unlocked, or unlock them after the first person in, and lock them again at the end.
- A second entry with no exit: not watched, raised as an alarm, or refused, with re-entry minutes for a zone with no exit reader.
- Two-person doors: a door into the zone opens only for the second of two different people.
- Intrusion watch, always or outside the zone’s hours: a door opening with no key used first raises an alarm.
- Zone Map and the spatial design library: a floor plan, a seating chart or a lot drawn once and read by Bookings, Tickets, Dine and Station.
- Every zone’s live availability for the spatial picker, the same projection a website reads (with Sites).
- Credentials: mobile keys, physical cards, badge cards, biometric, temporary links and mixed keys, on one list with a Medium filter.
- PIN Codes and the Code Schedule: digits 1 to 9, never starting with 12, each live from its start to its end.
- Wallet passes for Apple Wallet and Google Wallet, with one branding page, opening what the holder’s grants reach at the scan.
- Mobile keys and wallet passes are online credentials: every tap is decided at the moment, never stored on the door.
- Zone Access and Staff Access: whole zones granted to a person, and reusable access levels covering zones, doors and a schedule.
- Every key, PIN, grant and revoke reaches its doors through one sync, and the form shows one outcome for it.
- A stay’s door code on the room’s locks at check-in, from Door Keys or by a rule; a room task’s code held by its assignee and ended when the task is done (with Stays and Bookings).
- Record a Key From Your Door System: a key made in the business’s own door system, typed back so both name it, never sent to a door.
- Keys revoked when a stay ends or a pass is cancelled, a setting that is on unless turned off.
- Bulk select, export and revoke on the key list; each key has its own page and revoke page.
- A use limit on a key: so many times a day, a week, a month or in its life.
- A zone can require a phone key to be confirmed with the person’s own fingerprint or face; nothing biometric is stored.
- Door cameras from the business’s own camera cloud: live on the door and the alarm, the camera’s picture on each alarm, no footage kept, and who may watch is the owner’s setting.
- Each card’s technology, and whether the business allows, warns about or refuses cards that can be copied.
- Directory sync: the business’s Entra ID, Okta or JumpCloud invites new people, offboards those switched off and opens doors by group.
- Removing a person from the business revokes their keys, codes, passes and zone grants.
- A holder sees their own keys and door events in their portal (with Navigator).
- One visitor form: Here Now records a walk-in and checks them in, Expected Later sends an invitation with its link and QR code.
- Visitors, guests, vendors and contractors, each with their company, purpose, host, window and the doors or zones they may enter.
- A visit gets one PIN for its doors while it is open.
- Visitors get guest WiFi: one code for the visit on the invitation, unless the person inviting leaves it out (with WiFi).
- Watchlist checked at the door, with each entry’s page; Verify Identity against the business’s verification policy.
- A visitor past the end of their visit is Overstayed and kept on every list; their host is told.
- The host is told on arrival and answers On My Way; a host known only by email is emailed.
- Members invite their own guests from their portal (with Navigator and Coworking).
- One reception scanner for an invitation’s QR or a pass’s code.
- The same visitor screens run in Coworking’s Visitors (with Coworking).
- Door intercom: a printed sticker opens a page where a visitor with no invitation calls the people the business chose, who answer by video or audio on their phone and open the door; every call is a visit.
- Issued passes and Check-In: a day pass, a member’s guest pass or a visit, checked in at the door.
- A day pass carries its hours; check-in refuses a pass before them and after them, and says when it starts.
- Member Guest Passes, shared with Registry (with Registry).
- Day passes are set up and sold where the buyer is: Fit, a kiosk, the portal or a Station till (with those apps); Access issues the door credential and takes no payment.
- Live: active alarms, doors forced, held open or offline, and the people inside, with each alarm’s page.
- Acknowledge, Escalate and Clear on an alarm; Escalate opens the incident in one step.
- Occupancy: each zone’s count, maximum and room left, and how it is counted: by a people counter, by entries and exits, estimated from entries, or unknown (shown as a dash, never 0).
- When a zone reaches its maximum: do nothing, warn, or deny, chosen in Settings; Settings lists every zone that cannot enforce a denial and why.
- Which sources count as inside (badges, checked-in guests, sensors) and the alert level, set by the business.
- A people counter bound to a zone, and whether the zone has an exit reader.
- A zone near its maximum is told once per crossing, by a rule you can switch off.
- Tailgating: more people counted into a zone than keys used at its doors raises an alarm with both counts.
- My Dashboard: each person builds their own dashboard from Access’s figures.
- Protocols: a lockdown, an evacuation or a shelter in place, each with its zones and doors.
- Arm with a swipe; another protocol already live is asked about first; each door’s real outcome is recorded.
- Roll Call: who is safe, missing or safe in place, with I’m Safe and Mark Visitors Safe, held with no signal and sent once.
- On Site Now: everyone inside at that moment, laid out for paper, printed or as CSV.
- Assembly Points: where each zone reports in an evacuation.
- Override Codes for staff during an alert.
- A lockdown refuses every key but an override code; an evacuation holds its doors open until the all-clear, which locks them again.
- A smoke detector or a fire panel connected to Signal can start the evacuation at that place, by a rule that is off until you turn it on (with Signal and Automations).
- An alert goes over the TVs where it is raised and comes off at the all-clear (with Display).
- Official Warnings: weather and civil protection warnings over each Location, read every five minutes and shown on the TVs there until they end (with Display).
- Your Alert System: private addresses a business gives its own mass-alert platform, whose alerts reach the same TVs.
- An armed alert stands over every Access screen as a red strip with I’m Safe and the roll call.
- Activity: every passage, phone tap, refusal and door fact, with the person, the door, how they presented and why a door said no.
- Filter by door, key, person, event type, method, result and dates; export the selection.
- Incidents: one form from an alarm or a door, with notes, written once even with no signal.
- Guard tours: doors and QR or NFC checkpoints, in order or any order, on their own schedule; each round is a Dispatch task, a key at the door or a scan proves each checkpoint, and a missed or late one tells your admins (with Dispatch).
- Reports: access frequency, denied access, after-hours access and the audit trail, generated or scheduled from the business’s own mailbox (with Automations).
- Analytics: entries, exits and denials over time, capacity and incident figures.
- Integrations: each upcoming stay’s key (a code on the door, a recorded key or none) and its channel, with channel connections opened from Sync (with Sync).
- Ten shipped rules: invitations, new door codes, arrivals, alarms, watchlist matches, keys and visitor passes ending, zones near their maximum and overstays (with Automations).
- Triggers for your own rules: an alarm, a battery running low, a door unlocked or locked, and a passage at a reader by card, phone, code, biometric, QR or plate.
- Gallery recipes, off until switched on: a guest’s code at confirmation, at check-in or when the room is ready, a cleaner’s code for a turnover, a client’s visitor code for a meeting.
- Log an incident from any rule, and arm an Alert from any rule.
- Phone tabs: Live, Visitors, Alerts and Doors, with More for the whole menu; the Home puts Activate a Protocol one tap away.
- With no signal: the Home, Alerts and each activation, the doors, the visitors, Live View and each alarm, from what “Keep Access on this device” kept.
- Never kept on a device: door PINs, invitation links, WiFi codes, identity documents and photos, watchlist reasons, and visitors’ and hosts’ contact details.
- Notification buttons: Lock and Acknowledge on a door held open, Acknowledge and Escalate on an alarm, I’m Safe and Roll Call on an alert, On My Way on an arrival. No button ever unlocks a door.
- Shortcuts: Alerts, Doors & Locks, Visitors, Live View, Keys and Activity Log.
- Security Status widget on the Windows Widgets Board: counts only, no names.
- Calls from the roll call and a visitor’s page use the phone’s own dialer.
- Calisto’s search finds doors, visitors, keys, zones and incidents, never the watchlist or a PIN.
- One settings page: Your Notifications, This Device, Door Keys, Visitors, Capacity, Check-In and Zones, Verification Policy, Alarms and Assembly Points.
- Locations: the places the business works from, with one headquarters.
- Every create is once-only: a second press or a retry is the same record.
Questions about Calisto Access
A lock that connects through its manufacturer’s cloud or over MQTT is connected once, at Signal’s connection point, and Access decides who may open it. A business that keeps its own door system makes the key there and types its number into Calisto, so both systems name the same key.
A stay’s code goes on the room’s locks at check-in, by the desk or by a rule you switch on, and ends with the stay. A membership’s doors come from its zone grants and are worked out again every day after billing, so a membership that ends closes its doors.
A walk-in is added as Here Now and checked in at once; an expected visitor gets an invitation with a QR code and guest WiFi. One scanner reads an invitation or a pass, the watchlist is checked at the door, and the host is told on arrival.
Every passage, phone tap, refusal and door fact is in the Activity log with the person, the door and how they presented, and an unlock shows what the door itself answered. Reports on access frequency, denials, after-hours entries and the audit trail can be sent on a schedule.
The protocol sends its door commands and records each door’s outcome, the alert goes over your TVs with Display, and the roll call opens on every phone. Marks made with no signal are held and sent once, and On Site Now prints the list of everyone inside.
Per ten locks, as the price box on this page shows, and it is included with Calisto Ops. Visitors, keys and alerts carry no charge of their own. Display, Stays, Coworking, Kiosks and Navigator are priced in their own apps.
