An Islamic (Hijri) birthday reminder that stays accurate
The Hijri calendar is lunar, so an Islamic birthday or anniversary arrives about eleven days earlier each Gregorian year. Loomday converts it automatically and reminds you on the right day — no annual recalculation.

Because the Islamic year is shorter than the Gregorian one, a Hijri date moves earlier every year. Pin it to a single Gregorian date and it's wrong within twelve months. Loomday keeps the original Hijri date and re-resolves it each year, so your reminder always lands correctly.
What Loomday does
- Converts an Islamic birthday or anniversary to this year's Gregorian day — automatically, tracking the yearly drift.
- Reminds you as early as you like: a week ahead, the night before, or the morning of.
- Shows the countdown on Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets.
- Imports birthdays from Contacts and counts the years for you.
One app, every calendar
The same conversion covers Chinese lunar, Hebrew, Indian and Persian (Solar Hijri) dates — plus ordinary Gregorian birthdays and anniversaries.
