Telugu lunar birthdays · for families far from home
Sampangi
Be the one who remembers.
Growing up here, I never knew my own Telugu birthday. Amma always texted me first. Sampangi keeps every loved one's tithi (Telugu) birthday close, so now you're the one who knows.
Everything runs privately on your iPhone, with no accounts to set up and nothing to subscribe to.
The difference that matters abroad
Your Telugu birthday can land a day off from India. Sampangi gets your date right.
The day a tithi "counts" is decided by the tithi at local sunrise, and sunrise happens at a different clock time in Dallas than in Hyderabad. So the same Telugu birthday or festival can fall on a different Gregorian day in the US than it does back home.
Generic Telugu calendars only print the India dates. Sampangi does the astronomy for where you live, from the Bay Area to New Jersey to Atlanta to Chicago to Seattle, and simply tells you the day to call, cook, or celebrate.
Why this is hard
Telugu birthdays drift. Sampangi pins them down.
A Telugu birthday is a tithi, a moment in the moon's cycle, not a fixed square on the Gregorian calendar. So it slides a little every year, and the day it actually falls on depends on where you are, because local sunrise decides the date.
Far from home, that usually means a phone call to India, squinting at a panchangam, or just guessing, and missing it. Sampangi does the astronomy for you, for where you live, and simply tells you the day. Learn how Telugu birthdays work →

Each Telugu masa, laid out tithi by tithi across the waxing and waning fortnights, so Ugadi, Sankranti, Deepavali and the days that matter to your family are never a guess. When the US date differs from India's, Sampangi shows yours.
Reminders & widget
A nudge before the day, across the time difference
Set a reminder and Sampangi tells you a few days ahead, with the time difference already in mind, so there's time to call home before they go to bed. Add the home-screen widget to keep the next Telugu birthday, and tonight's moon, always in view.
