Calendar — your shared dates
The Calendar is the joint diary for your household — events, birthdays, anniversaries — with major Islamic dates marked for you and the option to sync with your iPhone's own calendar.
It has its own tab at the bottom of the screen, because dates are one of the things couples coordinate most.
Adding events
- Open the Calendar tab.
- Tap a day, or the add button.
- Choose a type — a one-off event, a birthday, or an anniversary.
- Set the date (and time, for events), add a title, and save.
Birthdays and anniversaries repeat every year automatically; you'll see them come round without re-entering them.
Islamic dates
The calendar marks the major Islamic dates automatically — the start of Ramadan, Eid-ul-Fitr, Eid-ul-Adha, the Hijri New Year (1 Muharram), Ashura and Mawlid. They appear with a 🌙 marker on the right days, so couples who follow the Hijri calendar see the big occasions coming without having to add them by hand. There's nothing to switch on — they're just there.
Syncing with your iPhone calendar
You can sync MianBiwi events with the iOS Calendar so they show up in your phone's own calendar app and on your lock screen. Enable it in Settings → Calendar; iOS will ask for calendar permission the first time.
Why a joint calendar
Because both spouses add to the same calendar, there's no "did you tell me about that?" Whoever schedules the dentist, books the dinner, or remembers the cousin's wedding puts it in once, and you both have it.
