Keep the rhythm of the Kingdom in your pocket.
KomKal is the first digital calendar specifically designed for the Kom people. Built to preserve and promote the rich cultural heritage of Kom People, West Africa, this app bridges the gap between the modern Gregorian calendar and the sacred 8-day-week Kom cycle.
Why KomKal?
In Kom culture, time is more than just numbers—it is a cycle of social, economic, and spiritual significance. From the bustling trade of ɨwe ŊjynìKom to the solemn Memorial Day - ɨtu' iyvɨnìKom, every day has a purpose. KomKal ensures you never miss a Market Day or a traditional observance, no matter where you are in the world.
Key Features:
The 8-Day Cycle: Fully accurate rotation of the traditional Kom days ("ɨtu' a-Bûm", "ɨtu' Kîjèm", "ɨtu' iyvɨnìKom", "ɨtu' IyvɨSamnɨ", "ɨtu' ɨwe ŊjynìKom", "ɨtu' ɨ Two", "ɨtu' ɨ Bolɨ", "ɨtu' ɨ Kom").
Market Day Highlights: Visual icons automatically identify Market Days, helping you plan for trade and community events.
Memorial Day Alerts: Respect traditional days of rest with clear visual indicators for ɨtu' iyvɨnìKom.
Dual Calendar View: See Kom days overlaid on the standard Gregorian months for easy planning.
