Request: Multiple Calendars

I posted this request in the Q & A section but I think this topic would fit better in this portion of the forum as I would really love to see this feature in this app. I am not sure how to move topics or if I can do that.

I’ve been trying to use Aeon Timelines to track an overarching timeline that occurs in multiple worlds with different calendars but has a unifying calendar. My current workaround is to create Calendar Markers that repeat after the equivalent of a year has passed but this gets very cumbersome real fast as I have over 8 different calendars to keep track of.

For real-life applications, I am sure those who track events using the lunar calendar alongside the gregorian calendar would benefit greatly from being able to track with multiple calendars. There is also the 360-day calendar which is used in financial sectors.

It would be nice to be able to seamlessly convert between these calendars, have the calendars connect or begin from a certain date from another (useful for calendar transitions), and be able to switch between viewing the timeline from one calendar to another.

Seconding this request! My personal use-scenario is a bit niche, namely fiction set on both Mars and on Earth. However, even if calendars with days of different lengths wasn’t on the table, there are a number of calendars on Earth (Julian, Gregorian, Jewish, Chinese, etc.) that would be useful to switch between.

Just piling on here for this feature…there were lots of positive responses to this when it was an Oct '21 Q&A topic. I still really need this to fully utilize AT3 (fictional setting with multiple overlapping calendars…though in my simple situation 1 day = 1 day in all calendars, no matter how labeled or counted). Fingers STILL crossed!

I won’t upgrade until this feature has been implemented. It’s crucial to how I want to work
