Creating recurring event that isn't a birthday, anniversary, or yartzeit
Basically, my issue with the current create your own Yartzeit calendar is for meaningful events that aren't a yartzeit, birthday, or anniversary. It's slightly frustrating that hebcal automatically creates an event name with name's 0th Hebrew ____. I'd love to be able to have more control over the naming of a recurrent event that is dependent on the Hebrew calendar.

Dedicated Rosh Chodesh calendar
It would be very useful to have a calendar that could be subscribed to that solely marks which days are Rosh Chodesh.
Chofetz Chaim Daily
Would you be able to add the option for the Chofetz Chaim Daily calendar as well as the Shmiras Haloshon Daily calendar? They are both very popular seforim from Reb Yisroel Meir Kagen. They can be added as a feature similar to Daf Yomi.
This year (2023) Hebcal shows that April 19 is the 28th of Nisan. Does that mean that the 28th of Nisan starts at sundown on April 19 or that the 28th of Nisan started at sundown on the 18th of April? And why isn't this fundamental issue clearly address

I had this on my Apple Watch and then I got a new watch. But it won’t allow me to redownload the app on my new watch. And in App Store it doesn’t give me the option to download. Can you please help?

Hi, thanks for contacting Hebcal. You can create a personal list of Yahrzeit (memorial) and Yizkor dates, Hebrew Birthdays and Anniversaries for 20+ years at this page:
https://www.hebcal.com/yahrzeit
If you know the Hebrew but not the Gregorian date, you can use the Hebrew Date Converter to get the Gregorian date of death, and then come back to the Yahrzeit + Anniversary calendar page.
If you don't know the Hebrew year, it may be difficult to get a correct date conversion. You could try to estimate it, but you might end up with an incorrect result. The rules for calculating birthdays and yahrzeits are a bit complicated and depend on the actual attributes of the Hebrew year they occurred in -- was it a leap year (Adar vs. Adar I vs. Adar II)? Short Kislev? Long Cheshvan? For more details, you can read the article How does Hebcal determine anniversaries (birthdays, yahrzeits) in Adar, Cheshvan, or Kislev?
