## What is Lu Lunar Calendar?

Lu is a traditional Chinese tear-off calendar that lives on your phone.

The first time you open it each day, yesterday's page tears away and today appears: the solar and lunar dates side by side, the sexagenary stems and branches, the year's animal, the moon phase, and the next solar term.

• Today: tear-off page, lunar date, stems and branches, moon phase, the current solar term and its seasonal notes
• Almanac (黃曆 宜忌): each day's traditional "suited" and "avoid" activities, from the 建除 rules, computed on your device. Turn it off in Settings if you don't want it
• Month: solar and lunar dates in every cell, plus solar terms and festivals
• 24 Solar Terms: exact times to the minute, grouped by season
• Converter: solar ↔ lunar in both directions, to find a lunar birthday or festival date
• Me and My Dates (我, 我的日子): save your own birthday and your family's birthdays, memorial days and anniversaries, lunar or Gregorian. Each year the app finds the date and can remind you. My Dates stay on your phone
• Me also shows a reference table of your four birth pillars and the twelve palaces (traditional calendar reference). Our server builds it from your birth date, hour and gender under an anonymous account, so the first time needs a connection; after that it opens offline. Delete it any time in Settings
• iPhone Duo: two panes on the inner screen in landscape; on the outer screen and in landscape, the tabs move to the side column
• Widgets: lunar date with 宜/忌, moon phase and next solar term on your Lock Screen, Home Screen and in StandBy
• Reminders: daily page, new and full moon, the eve of each solar term and festival, and your saved dates
• Dark mode. Traditional and Simplified Chinese. No sign-up. The calendar is computed on your device and works offline. Anonymous usage statistics contain no personal data and can be turned off in Settings.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.2.0 — 2026-10-31

iPhone Duo

• On the inner screen in landscape, the app shows two panes: a tab such as Today or Month on one side, and 日課, a day's details or an editor on the other
• On the outer screen, and on the inner screen in landscape, the tabs move to the side column under the status bar
• Folding, unfolding or turning the device keeps your place

Simplified Chinese

• The app is now also in Simplified Chinese. Pick 繁體 or 簡體 in Settings → 語言 (Language); widgets and reminders follow
• Traditional Chinese uses Hong Kong wording (西曆, 網絡) on a Hong Kong or Macau device

Today, made for you

• Add your birthday in 我 (Me) and Today gets a 日課 made for you (「日課 ›」 at the top right): today's 干支 next to your birth data, with short notes, small 宜 / 忌 items, a day score out of 100 and four sub-scores. 「今日為何如此」 lists the traditional rule behind every point
• At the foot of the card you can ask for a short AI-written explanation for you, for reference only
• 我 also adds a reference table of your four birth pillars and twelve palaces
• Our server prepares these, so the first time needs a connection; after that they open offline. No sign-up: an anonymous account that gets only your birth date, hour and gender, which you can delete any time in Settings → 刪除雲端資料. 我的日子 (My Dates) still never leaves your phone
• Add a birth hour and gender later; 子 (the midnight hour) is now two cells, 00–01 and 23–24

More improvements

• Type a year directly, or press and hold + / − to step quickly
• Government public holidays no longer show in Month. Every lunar festival, solar term and pentad stays
• Anonymous usage statistics also count when 日課 and the tables are opened, never your birth data

### 1.1.0 — 2026-10-06

New: 我 (Me) and 我的日子 (My Dates)

• Settings → 我: save your birthday (Gregorian or lunar) and see its 干支, zodiac animal (生肖) and age in both traditional counts (周歲 / 虛歲)
• Convert → 我的日子: save family birthdays, memorial days (忌日) and anniversaries. Each year the app finds the date and can remind you at 9:00
• Today's 為你 (For you) line: your dates in the next three days
• With a birth year and 黃曆宜忌 on, Today and 我 also name the animal the day clashes with (沖)
• The month view and the day details mark your saved dates, and a converted date can be saved to 我的日子
• All of this stays on your phone and is never uploaded

New: traditional almanac (黃曆 宜忌)

• The daily page, the day details and the Today widget now show the traditional almanac's 宜 (suited) and 忌 (avoid) activities
• The day details also list the 建除 day officer, 值神, 沖煞, directions and the twelve two-hour periods
• Computed on your device from the traditional 建除十二神 rules; no network needed
• You can turn it off in Settings → 黃曆宜忌; the app then shows only dates, solar terms and the moon

New: small 今日 (Today) widget for StandBy

• The 今日 widget now comes in a small size: lunar date, day and two 宜 / 忌 lines. It also works in StandBy, when your iPhone is charging on its side

Also

• Anonymous usage statistics to help us improve the app. They only count which features are used: no personal data and none of your saved dates. Turn them off in Settings → 分享匿名使用統計
