  Once every morning, at the hour you choose: today’s date in your own tradition, the day’s name when it has one, and the one thing the day asks of a household. Two sentences, nothing else, and never through a server.

• Rahu kaal When at the time5 minutes before10 minutes before15 minutes before30 minutes before45 minutes before1 hour before2 hours before

  Every day, before Rahu kaal begins. The eighth of the daylight the weekday gives to Rahu, and the one window almost every household plans around.

  Every day, before Yamaganda begins. The second of the three bad eighths; switch it on if you keep it as well as Rahu kaal.

• Gulika kaal When at the time5 minutes before10 minutes before15 minutes before30 minutes before45 minutes before1 hour before2 hours before

  Every day, before Gulika kaal begins. The mixed one of the three: kept for what should happen again, avoided for what should not.

  The annual festivals of the chosen tradition. Pick which ones below.

  The annual thivasam of anybody marked with a date of death on the household page (Who is who), on the tithi of the death in its lunar month, not on the English anniversary. A fortnight ahead by default, because it has to be prepared, with a second alert the day before.

  A date of death is set on the household page, under Who is who, or from the shraddha page.

• Birthdays in the family When at the time1 day before2 days before3 days before5 days before7 days before14 days before21 days before

  The birthday each person in the household actually keeps: the day the birth star runs again in the birth month in the south, the day the birth tithi runs again in the north and east. The day before by default, which is what a phone call and a sweet need.

• Notes to be reminded of When at the time1 hour before3 hours before6 hours before12 hours before1 day before2 days before

  The notes you asked to be reminded of on the notes page, each on its own date, at the hour chosen there.

  None yet. Press “Remind me” on a note on the notes page.

Sunrise, sunset and every window are worked out for this place, and the festivals for this tradition. The vratam days are the almanac's own: the Ekadasi that runs at sunrise, the Trayodasi that runs at sunset, and so on.
