Double hours
The traditional daily almanac layer — notes, daily rating, clashes and the double-hour cycle — with the Xieji Bianfang Shu (1741) as its declared reference. The app’s sources page states where each part of the data comes from and what has not yet been checked against the book.
Different almanacs follow different source texts. Where this app differs from the one in your hand, that is expected — it takes the source it declares as its reference.
No ads, no tracking, no sign-in needed, and no third-party SDK of any kind — including for crash reporting. Nothing from your calendar ever leaves the phone. Optional online services send a little device information to our server at most once a day; they are off by default in the EU, EEA, UK, South Korea and mainland China, and you can turn them off any time. Notifications, location and calendar access are requested only when you use the feature that needs them.
Both unlock exactly the same full version. A one-time purchase keeps it forever and includes one feature request. Monthly, quarterly and yearly subscriptions keep it while subscribed: the yearly plan gives three feature requests for each paid year plus ongoing priority support (first reply within one business day); monthly and quarterly plans earn one for every four paid months, up to three a year. Subscriptions renew automatically and can be cancelled any time in your App Store account settings. Prices are shown in the App Store in your currency.
Open the app, go to More → Restore purchases. It asks the App Store what your Apple ID has bought. It needs a network connection to do this, and no account of ours.
Both can be. Printed almanacs follow different source texts and different editorial conventions, and they disagree with each other too. This app states which source it takes as its reference, and named notes can be opened inside the app to see the steps that produced them.
No. Everything in the app works without signing in. An account is optional and exists only for members who want cloud backup; you can create one in the app or on the Account page of this site, and delete it there at any time.
1901 to 2100. That is the range covered by the Hong Kong Observatory’s day-by-day tables, which our lunar dates and solar-term dates were compared against; beyond it the app does not give results.
