✨ Features (বৈশিষ্ট্য)

  • 📅 Accurate Date: Shows the current date using the officially Revised Bangla Calendar (Bangladesh Version; NOT INDIAN ONE) logic.
  • 🌤️ Solar & Lunar: Live Sunrise/Sunset times (Dhaka standard) and current Moon Phase (Chand-er obostha).
  • 🍂 Seasons (ঋতু): Automatically updates the current season.
  • 🎉 Holidays: Alerts you about today's holidays and counts down to the next government holiday.
  • ⚙️ Customizable: Choose between Short, Medium, or Long date formats.
  • 🚀 Native: Blazing fast, written in pure Swift, and looks right at home on macOS.

📥 Installation (কিভাবে ইন্সটল করবেন - Important!)

Since I am an independent developer and not paying Apple $99/year yet, this app is not notarized. macOS Gatekeeper will likely block it by default, saying the app is "damaged" or from an "unidentified developer".

Don't worry, it's safe. Here is the magic command to fix it:

  1. Download the latest .dmg from the Releases page.

  2. Open the downloaded disk image and drag BanglaBar.app to your Applications folder.

  3. The Fix: Open your Terminal app and run this single command to tell macOS you trust this app:

    xattr -cr /Applications/BanglaBar.app
  4. Launch the app! 🚀

Note: This command simply removes the "quarantine" flag that macOS places on internet downloads.

🛠️ Build it yourself (ডেভেলপারদের জন্য)

If you prefer to verify the code and build it yourself:

  1. Clone the repo:
    git clone https://github.com/ffrafat/banglabar.git
    cd banglabar
  2. Build the release version using the included script:
    ./release_build.sh
  3. Find the app in the build/Release folder.

🤝 Open Source

This project is open to everyone. Feel free to open issues, suggest features, or submit PRs. Let's make this the best Bengali utility for macOS.
