Samaya Calendar vs Tithika

Samaya is a clean, precise Telugu calendar — built to show you what matters today: Tithi, Nakshatra, Durmuhurtham, Varjyam, and the moments that shape the day. Today at a glance Open the app and see the live time of day with current panchangam. Browse Bhargava (Choghadiya-style) time ranges to understand whether a slot leans favorable or challenging — with a clear progress view as each period unfolds. Calendar your way Switch between an English month view and a Telugu (Masam) view. Pournami, Amavasya, and Ekadasi stand out so special days are never easy to miss. Holidays are highlighted alongside your own plans. Reminders that respect tradition Get notified a day before Pournami, Amavasya, and Ekadasi. Add personal events — one-day, multi-day, or recurring — including recurrence by Tithi when you want celebrations to follow the Telugu calendar. Always with you Home Screen widgets and an Apple Watch companion keep today’s essentials close, without digging through the app. Designed to stay out of the way Samaya follows a minimal, content-first design: clear typography, quiet surfaces, and no clutter — so the calendar itself remains the focus. Whether you are planning a ceremony, checking the day’s muhurtham, or simply staying in rhythm with the Telugu year, Samaya keeps time with you.

Tithika brings the Hindu lunar calendar to your fingertips, calculated with precision for wherever you are in the world.
