This app converts dates between the Gregorian (Western) calendar and the fixed Fatimid Islamic Hijri calendar (also known as the Misri Calendar) which is used by Dawoodi Bohras and other Muslim communities. You can also view both the Gregorian and Misri calendar month by month in familiar standard calendar views with the corresponding dates appearing as you click on dates. The accuracy of the conversion has been independently verified and tested using a number of Dawoodi Bohra religious and academic sources as well as continuous testing using well known date conversions. You can now better plan your schedule around important Hijri dates without the need for complicated religious apps or paper calendars.
The Lore
Read full descriptionHide full description
A quiet place to gather what matters. Lore is an archive for your group's shared history — built around a ritual rather than a feed. One memory of the day, surfaced from what you've collected together. Quiet, considered, worth pausing for. What you can preserve — Artifacts: photos, scans, documents, recordings — Stories: the context that gives an artifact meaning — People: who was there, who it mattered to — Places, recipes, traditions — anything worth keeping How it works Each day, one memory surfaces from your group's archive. A photo from twenty years ago. A story someone wrote down. A recipe passed down. A recording of a voice you'd otherwise forget. You read it, respond if you like, and let it pass — until tomorrow. Members submit what they want to preserve. Each piece is curated and scheduled before it surfaces. The archive grows with intention, not noise. Built for any group with shared history — Families across generations — Camps, churches, neighborhoods, bands — Anyone whose memory is bigger than one person's Not a social network. Not a feed. A library with a heartbeat. Begin an archive. Invite the people who share it. Let one memory at a time keep what would otherwise be lost.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: The Lore at every 8 days against Misri Calendar's every 4 months. Misri Calendar's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
