Iranian Calendar app for iPhone and iPad

Add birthdays, anniversaries, or any annual events of your choice.

The Iranian Calendar for iPad displays the current date in both the Iranian and Gregorian calendars. It also provides a tool to convert any date between these two calendars and will display the selected month’s calendar with dates in both the Iranian and Gregorian calendars in addition to the months prior and after the selected month.

The layout of the screen is a little different in portrait and landscape orientation but both consist of three regions.

Today Region: This region displays the current date in both calendars. If the current date is a holiday in Iran, the holiday is displayed. Tapping on this region toggles the language of all three regions between Persian and English.

Monthly Region: This region will show the calendar of one month of the Iranian calendar. Additionally, holiday information is currently available for 1388 – 1389 and the date of any holidays in Iran will be displayed in red. Tap on the red text to see the name of the holiday. The current time in Iran is displayed at the top of this region. If you have navigated to a different month than the current month, tap on the home icon to change it to the current month. Tap on the convert icon to display the date conversion popover. The conversion popover is described below.

Other Months Region: This region displays one month prior and one month after the month displayed in the Monthly Region.

Date Conversion Popover: This popover is displayed by tapping on the convert icon located at the bottom of the Monthly Region. This function can convert any date between the Iranian and Gregorian calendars by using the two date pickers. Changing any of the six components will adjust the others accordingly. Tapping on the home icon below pickers, will change the date to the current date. If the selected date is the current date, it will be displayed in blue text. If the calendar icon located between the two pickers is tapped it will change the Monthly Region to the date selected on the picker. The Other Months Region will also change accordingly.

There are several ways to change the displayed month.
- Tapping on the Home icon to change to the current month
- Tapping anywhere (except on the red labels) on the calendar in Other Month Region
- Tapping on the calendar icon in the Date Conversion Popover
- Swiping right or left to move back and forth one month
- Swiping up or down to move back and forth one year. Use 2, 3, or 4 fingers to swipe up and down to change the year by 5, 10, or 20 years


To add one or more annual events, tap on the “hand and pen” symbol. In the popover view, provide a month, a day, and a description. Then tap on the save button to save the information. You may enter as many events as you wish before dismissing the popover view by tapping anywhere outside of its boundary. The days corresponding to these events are displayed in red in both the Monthly Calendar and Other Months regions. If the selected day is beyond the number of days in that month, the event will be shown in the last day of that month.

To view the annual events associated with the red text, tap on the red text. All the events on that day will be displayed in a popover view. The list can be scrolled in case all the events cannot fit in the view. You may delete an event by tapping on the event in the list and then on the “Delete Selected” button. Holidays cannot be deleted.
