More Calendars
Moon phases, eclipses, religious holidays and calendar systems — added to your calendar in one click.
Overview
More Calendars adds ready-made calendars to your account: the phases of the moon, eclipses, the solstices and equinoxes, the holidays of eight religious traditions, and the dates of a dozen calendar systems from the Hebrew and Hijri calendars to the Mayan Long Count.
Pick the ones you want, choose a color, and they appear in your calendar and on every device you sync with. No third-party calendar subscriptions, no accounts to connect, nothing to install.
🌐 Available in All Languages: More Calendars is fully localized in 88 languages.
📅 What you can add
Settings path: Settings → More Calendars
Sun & Moon
- Moon Phases — new, first quarter, full and last quarter, to the minute, shown in your own time zone. Choose northern or southern hemisphere so the crescents lean the right way.
- Named Moons — the traditional name of each full moon, including Harvest and Hunter’s, with blue moons marked under both definitions in use.
- Lunar Perigee and Apogee — when the moon is nearest and farthest. A full moon near perigee is what people call a supermoon.
- Eclipses — solar and lunar, with the type of each.
- Solstices and Equinoxes — the astronomical start of each season, to the minute.
- Solar Terms — the 24 terms of the traditional East Asian agricultural year.
Religious Holidays
- Christian — Easter and everything that moves with it, plus the fixed feasts. Choose Western or Orthodox.
- Jewish — festivals and fast days, with the traditional postponement rules. Choose Diaspora or Israel practice.
- Islamic — Ramadan, both Eids, Ashura, Mawlid and more. Choose the tabular calendar or Umm al-Qura, the Saudi civil calendar.
- Hindu — Diwali, Holi, Navaratri, Janmashtami, Ganesh Chaturthi and more.
- Buddhist — Vesak and the other observances. Choose Theravada or Mahayana.
- Sikh — the gurpurabs. Choose the Nanakshahi calendar of 2003 or the Bikrami dates restored in 2010.
- Bahá’í — the holy days of the Badí’ calendar, whose year begins at the March equinox in Tehran.
- Chinese Festivals — New Year, Lantern, Qingming, Dragon Boat, Mid-Autumn and the rest.
- Wheel of the Year — the eight sabbats, in either hemisphere.
Calendar Systems
The month beginnings of the Hebrew, Islamic (tabular and Umm al-Qura), Persian, Chinese, Mayan, Egyptian and Julian calendars.
Date Labels
A small all-day entry on every day showing that day’s date in another system — useful if you think in the Hebrew, Hijri, Persian, Julian, Mayan or Egyptian calendar, or if you want the Julian Day Number.
➕ Adding a calendar
Go to Settings → More Calendars, find the one you want and click Subscribe. Before you do, you can:
- Pick a color — so it stands out (or blends in) in your calendar.
- Choose an option, where one is offered — hemisphere, tradition, month-start method and so on. These are real differences in the dates, not just labels, so pick the one your community follows.
- Choose where it goes — see below.
To remove one, click Remove on the same page.
🔄 Its own calendar, or added to one of yours
The Add to dropdown gives you two choices:
- A new calendar (the default) — you get a separate calendar you can show and hide on its own. Removing the subscription deletes that calendar.
- An existing calendar of yours — the dates are added into a calendar you already have. Removing the subscription takes out only those dates; your own events, and any other feed you added to the same calendar, stay exactly as they were.
Adding to an existing calendar is handy if you sync to your phone and would rather not manage another calendar there — and if you already share a calendar with a device, the new dates appear on it immediately without you setting anything else up.
Either way the calendar stays yours: you can add your own events to it, and updating the feed will not disturb them.
🗑 Keeping them current
Each calendar is filled in for a span of years around today. To roll that span forward, click Update my calendars on the More Calendars page.
The Date Labels calendars carry an entry for every day and are filled a year ahead, so they are the ones to refresh most often.
📱 On your phone and other devices
These are ordinary calendars in your account, so they sync over CalDAV like everything else — iOS, Android, macOS, Windows and Linux. See Syncing Calendars, Tasks, and Contacts for how to connect a device.
If you added the dates to a calendar you already sync, they will simply turn up there. If you created a new calendar, remember to give your sync login access to it in Settings → DAV Server.
🎯 Choosing the right option
Several of these calendars offer a choice, because traditions differ. Pick the one your community follows:
- Jewish Holidays — Diaspora or Israel.
- Islamic Holidays — the tabular calendar, or Umm al-Qura as used in Saudi Arabia.
- Christian Holidays — Western or Orthodox.
- Buddhist Holy Days — Theravada or Mahayana.
- Sikh Gurpurabs — the Nanakshahi calendar or the Bikrami dates.
- Moon Phases and the Wheel of the Year — northern or southern hemisphere.
Jewish and Islamic observances begin at sunset the evening before the date shown, as they do on any printed calendar.
You can change your mind at any time: remove the calendar and add it again with the other option.
