Check lunar dates on Mac
Open AirCalendar from the menu bar, choose a date in the monthly calendar, and read its lunar date and date details. Lunar dates, solar terms and holiday markings are included in the free version.
Before you start
- AirCalendar requires macOS 14 or later. These steps describe version 2.5.0 and use free calendar features.
- Holiday information depends on the selected region and the years included in the app. Traditional almanac material is a folk reference.
Open the monthly calendar
With AirCalendar running, click its date or icon in the Mac menu bar. Use the month navigation controls to reach the month you need. The selected Gregorian date is the starting point for the details alongside it.
Select the day you want to check
Click a date in the grid. Read the lunar date beneath the day and the selected date’s information panel. Solar terms and festivals appear on the dates to which they apply; a day without either does not need a festival label.
Open the date details
Use the date-information or almanac detail control to read the additional traditional calendar information. The image below shows a real example of this panel. Use the back control to return to the main panel.
Check the region before planning
If holiday markings do not match the region you need, open AirCalendar Settings and check the holiday-region selection. Then return to the same month. You should now be comparing a Gregorian date, its lunar date and the available regional holiday markings together.
Questions and troubleshooting
Do I need Pro to see lunar dates or solar terms?
No. These calendar features are free. Pro adds weather, desktop widgets and advanced appearance or panel customization.
Why is a festival or holiday missing?
Check the selected day, year and holiday region first. Holiday coverage is limited to the data included for that region and year; an absent label does not prove a date is a working day.
Can important dates repeat on a lunar birthday?
Important dates currently repeat by the Gregorian calendar. That does not automatically convert a lunar birthday each year.
Does the traditional almanac predict outcomes?
It is traditional reference material. It is not a basis for medical, investment or other outcome guarantees.
