SimchaCal is a simple, private Hebrew calendar for your family's meaningful dates.
Add the people who matter and SimchaCal tracks their Hebrew birthdays, anniversaries, bar/bat mitzvahs, and yahrzeits year after year — with reminders so a date never slips by.
WHAT YOU CAN DO

• See everything coming up in one Upcoming view — including Yom Tovs and Jewish events
• Print a beautiful landscape wall calendar for any year
A WALL CALENDAR BUILT FOR JEWISH LIFE
• Yom Tovs, Rosh Chodesh, fasts and national days, drawn live and always accurate
• Shabbat and holiday candle-lighting and havdalah times for your city
• The weekly Parsha on every Shabbat
• The Omer count and Yizkor days
• Erev Pesach times (end of eating and burning chametz)
• Choose your own colors, fonts, and decorations
ISRAEL OR DIASPORA
Pick your city and SimchaCal follows the right schedule — one-day festivals in Israel, two-day in the Diaspora — and the correct candle-lighting and havdalah times.
YOURS, AND PRIVATE

• Your data stays on your device
• Export to your phone's calendar (.ics) or a spreadsheet (.csv), with the option to include Yom Tovs

Mutiple fixes and improvements to Calendar, Upcoming, Zmanim and Reminders.
•Shabbat and holiday times could be an hour out in Judea and Samaria — Ramot, for example — because the clock was being taken from the wrong time zone. Turning on “I’m in Israel” for a saved location now sets the clock as well as the calendar.
•Town search: names with an apostrophe — Giv‘at Ze’ev, for example — can now be typed and found, and a town that the online lookup places outside Israel is no longer allowed to hide ours. The built-in offline list always keeps a few places in the results.
•Saving the same location again — after checking your co-ordinates, for instance — no longer switches “I’m in Israel” back off without telling you.
•Reminders are set up again properly after you reset the app, restore a backup, or turn notifications off and on. Some occasions could go quiet before. The trade is that just after a restore, one occasion you have already been told about may arrive once more.
•If the app told you some of your information could not be read, that message now clears once you restore from a backup, instead of staying for good.
•The app now opens in your phone's language on a fresh install and after Reset all data, instead of always starting in English. Your own choice in Settings still wins.
