Download the Nepali Calendar app

Katigate shows today's Bikram Sambat date, the month calendar, panchang, sahit, holidays and the BS–AD converter without an account. The Nepali Calendar app adds features that need your phone or an account: reminders on Nepali dates, saved events, offline use and home-screen widgets. The app is free on Android and iOS.

Features only in the app

Reminders that fire on the Nepali date

Add a birthday, a shraddha, an anniversary or any custom event on a BS date and the app notifies you on that BS date every year. It does not use the AD date. Repeat rules cover yearly, monthly, weekly (one weekday or several), daily and every N days. The website has no accounts, so it cannot save events or reminders.

Home-screen widgets

Widgets show today's BS date, the tithi and the next holiday on your home screen on Android and iOS. They update without opening the app. There is a lock-screen variant on iOS and a resizable month widget on Android.

Kundali and milan

Birth chart with D1 and D9, whole-sign houses, planet positions, Vimshottari dasha to the antardasha level, and Ashtakoot milan for two charts with the doshas and their parihar. Charts are calculated from an astronomical ephemeris and saved to your account. Once made, they open offline. Kundali is not on the website because it needs a signed-in account.

Works without a connection

The calendar year, holidays, sahit dates and your own events are cached on the phone, so the month calendar and day details open without mobile data or Wi-Fi. The app re-syncs a year only when the server says that year changed.

Friends, groups and shared events

Add friends by code or QR, share events in a group, and get reminders for friends' birthdays. All sharing settings start off. Nothing is shared until you turn it on.

Radio, forex, bullion and the EMI calculator

The app also has Nepali FM stations, official exchange rates, gold and silver rates, and a loan EMI calculator. Rates and radio work without an account.

About the app

Same calendar data as this website

The app and katigate.com use the same calendar data: the same BS month lengths for each year, the same government holiday list, the same panchang calculation and the same sahit dates. A date shows the same details on both. The website works without an account and only shows information. The app can also save your events and reminders.

What it costs

The app is free. There is no paid plan, subscription or trial. The app shows ads to pay for the servers. A few screens let you watch a rewarded ad to unlock an extra action.

Phones it runs on

Android 7 and newer, iPhone and iPad on iOS 15 and newer. It is one app on each store, in Nepali and English. The language setting inside the app changes every screen, including notification text.

Sign-in and privacy

You can use most of the app without signing in. You need an account only for things that move with you between devices: saved kundali, custom events, reminders and friends. Sharing settings are off by default, and the app never turns them on for you. The privacy policy on this site is the same one the app follows.

Common questions

Do I need the app to see today's Nepali date?

No. The homepage and the today page both show today's Bikram Sambat date, the tithi and the next holiday without an account. The app is for reminders, widgets, kundali and offline use.

Will reminders work if I close the app?

Yes. Reminders are scheduled with the phone's own notification system and fire whether or not the app is running. On some Android phones, allow notifications and turn off battery optimisation for the app so reminders arrive on time. The app asks for this during first setup.

Can I move my events to a new phone?

Sign in with the same account on the new phone and your events, reminders and saved kundali come back. Data added while signed out lives only on that phone.

Is there an iPad or tablet layout?

Yes. The app runs on tablets and iPads at full size, and the month calendar and day details use the extra width. It is the same app, not a separate download.
