Hijri Calendar With Maghrib-Based Day Change

Feature Request

Hi Locu team,


Thank you for building Locu. I really value the focus and intentional design of the app.

I wanted to request a feature that would be extremely meaningful for Muslim users. An optional Hijri (Islamic) calendar, with a setting where the day changes at Maghrib time, not at midnight.


In Islam, the new day begins at sunset. Having a Hijri calendar that reflects this correctly would make Locu unique and genuinely useful for planning daily routines, spiritual practices, and long-term goals.


Personally, if this feature existed, I would seriously consider moving away from all Gregorian calendar apps, including Google Calendar, and using Locu as my primary planning tool. To my knowledge, no mainstream productivity app handles the Hijri calendar correctly with a Maghrib-based day change, and this would truly set Locu apart.


Even offering this as an optional toggle would already be incredibly valuable.


Thank you for considering this request, and for the work you are doing on the app.

    Hi, thank you for the detailed request and for sharing why this matters.

    In the near term, what we can support is a general “end of day” setting (e.g., change the cutoff from midnight to 3:00 AM). Locu would then use that cutoff for daily grouping such as session totals and Today priorities.

    A full Hijri calendar experience with Maghrib-based day rollover across the entire app is considerably more complex (date navigation/pickers, daily grouping, reporting/export, and cross-platform consistency). With our roadmap currently packed and the product still early, we aren’t able to take this on right now.

    We’ve recorded your request and will keep it in mind as we expand calendar support. Thanks again for the thoughtful feedback.

    Let us know if settings for “end of day” would help. Thanks!
