📅 Introduction

The Jalali Date App is a lightweight macOS menu bar application that displays the current date in the Jalali (Persian) calendar alongside the Gregorian date. Designed to be simple and non-intrusive, it’s the perfect companion for users who need quick access to both Persian and Western calendars directly from their Mac’s menu bar.

🎉 Version 2.0

In this release, we’ve made some great enhancements to improve usability and accessibility:

  • Refreshed Menubar Display: We’ve tweaked the menubar display to be even more clear and user-friendly, providing you with the information you need at a glance.
  • Quick Peek at Month Names: Added a convenient “Months Table” option, allowing you to view the Gregorian and Jalali month names side-by-side. It’s perfect for quick reference – especially if you’re like us and occasionally need a reminder! 😉

🚀 Key Features

  • Displays the current Jalali (Persian) date and Gregorian date in the macOS menu bar.
  • Automatic light/dark mode adaptation to match macOS appearance settings.
  • Minimalist design with Persian typography for an authentic touch.
  • Quick copy: Copy either the Jalali or Gregorian date to your clipboard with a single click.
