Meskerem is an educational and reference application designed for iPhone users. It focuses on the Ethiopian calendar system, which is rooted in the old Alexandrian or Coptic calendar. Similar to the Julian calendar, the Ethiopian calendar includes a leap day every four years without exception.

This app showcases the unique aspects of the Ethiopian calendar, featuring twelve months with 30 days each and a thirteenth month, Pagume, with five days (six days every four years). Users can explore the Ethiopian new year, which typically falls on September 11 or 12. Meskerem provides details on the months, days, official Ethiopian holidays, optional religious fasting days, and supports displaying geez numerals for a comprehensive experience.
