Soluna is a native macOS menu bar app that shows the Gregorian and Hijri calendars together, always one click away. It has accurate prayer times with live countdowns, moon phases, world clocks, holidays, occasions, and your own personal events. No account, no ads, fully private. No subscription, ever. One purchase, yours for life. Built natively for macOS: quiet, beautiful, and yours.
Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I built Soluna because I couldn't find one app that had everything I actually needed, in one quiet place in my menu bar. I wanted a calendar that could show me a second date system at a glance without needing two separate apps, accurate prayer times that adjust properly to my location and preferences, a way to glance at what time it is for family and friends abroad, and a spot to track the occasions and personal events that matter to me, all without juggling four different apps to get there.
So I built it for myself first. Then I kept polishing it until it felt worth sharing.
A few things I care about with Soluna:
• One calendar, two date systems: Pick a primary calendar and see the alternate date color-coded right alongside it on every day. Gregorian and Hijri today, with more systems planned (Persian, Hebrew, Chinese, and others), and moon phase. Swap which one is primary anytime, or turn off the alternate entirely if you just want one. Zoom out to see up to 3 months at once when you need the bigger picture.
• A built-in date converter: Convert any date between Gregorian and Hijri instantly, right in the app.
• Occasions, built in and your own: Holidays and international days come built in, and you can enable or disable whichever ones you care about. Add your own on top: single day, a whole period, or repeating every year, right on the calendar itself.
• World clocks that actually mean something: Add the cities where your family and friends are and see their local time at a glance, with a scrubber to compare time zones and find a good moment to reach them.
• Your calendar, in the same place: Integrate your own macOS Calendar, see your events on the days they fall, and join meetings directly from the app.
• Fully native and fully private: No account, no ads, no tracking, and no data sent anywhere. It's just yours, running quietly on your Mac.
• Accurate prayer times: Calculations use proper methods and adjustable settings, not a one-size-fits-all approximation.
• Quiet by design: It lives in your menu bar, one click away, and gets out of your way until you need it.
• Pick what you want: Every one of these features can be enabled or disabled on its own. Build the calendar that fits you, and skip whatever you don't need.
This is an early release, and there's quite a bit more planned. On my near-term list: prayer notifications with an optional adhan sound, Qibla direction, quick-add for events directly on the calendar, a way to rename and reorder your world clocks (so "London" can become "Omar" if that's why you added it), a countdown for your next occasions, and support for more calendar systems beyond Hijri.
I'd genuinely love your feedback: what's missing, what feels clunky, what you'd want to see next. I'm building this in the open, based on what people actually use it for, not just what I imagined when I started.
Thanks for taking a look! 🌙
Curious how the prayer times calculate when you travel across time zones, do they update automatically based on your Mac's current location or do you have to set it manually each time?

Great question! It's automatic, you don't set it each time. Soluna uses your Mac's current location through macOS Location Services, so prayer times are calculated for wherever you are, using your chosen calculation method and any per-prayer adjustments. There's also a manual-city mode if you'd rather pin a fixed location, handy if you keep Location Services off, or want to keep home's times while you're away.
So when you travel, it just follows your Mac's location. The next update leans into that even more: it adds prayer notifications with an optional adhan, and makes them time-zone aware so you're reminded at the right local moment wherever you are. Thanks for the great question! 🌙
