MitiBar

Today's Nepali date, always in sight.

MitiBar keeps the Bikram Sambat date on your desktop and the month a click away. It is small, starts at once, and never goes online.

Where the date sits

Windows
A small bar above the taskbar, wherever you drag it, and today's day on the tray icon. The bar hides while a full-screen app is in front.
macOS
Today's day in the menu bar. Click it for the month.
Linux
Today's day in the system tray, on desktops that show tray icons. Click it for the month.

Everything is one click from the date

The month, one click away

Click the tray icon or the bar, or press Win+Shift+N. Each day shows its tithi; public holidays are in red and the next one is named at the bottom.

The MitiBar converter: a BS date typed in, its AD date as the result, and a Copy button beside each form.The MitiBar converter: a BS date typed in, its AD date as the result, and a Copy button beside each form.

BS and AD, both ways

Type a date in either calendar and get the other, or count the days between two dates. Separators appear as you type, and Copy puts the result on the clipboard.

Two lines, your way

Pick what each line shows from weekday, BS and AD dates, time, tithi and holiday, make either line bold, swap the two with one button, or start from a preset.

Small on purpose

MitiBar does one thing: the date. It is written in Rust with the Slint toolkit and draws its own windows, so it needs no browser engine and no runtime to install.

Download

Version 1.0.0. Every file is built from the tagged source by the release workflow on GitHub.

Check a file against SHA256SUMS: certutil -hashfile mitibar_1.0.0_x64-setup.exe SHA256. With the GitHub CLI you can also check that the release workflow built it: gh attestation verify <file> -R sanamhub/mitibar.

Code signing policy

Windows releases will be signed with free code signing provided by SignPath.io, with a certificate issued by the SignPath Foundation. Until the certificate is issued, Windows may say the publisher is unknown; check the file against SHA256SUMS before you run it. The macOS build is not notarized yet: open it the first time with Control-click, then Open.

Committer, reviewer and approver: sanamhub. Each signing request is approved by hand, for a release built from a tagged commit.

Privacy: MitiBar makes no network connections and sends nothing to any other computer. It keeps a settings file and a log on your own machine. The list of everything inside each build is in its software bill of materials.

Want more than the date?

MitiBar stays small on purpose. If you want a whole toolbox on your Windows taskbar, try NepDate Widget, from the author of the original C# NepDate library. Next to its calendar and converter it has an EMI calculator, Preeti to Unicode, notes and reminders, a QR tool, network tools and more. It is open source too, on GitHub.

Need the calendar in your own code?

MitiBar is built on the NepDate libraries, which convert dates the same way in nine languages. The full calendar, with every month's holidays, is on Patro.
