FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can I plan prayers without exact lunar timing?
Yes. Many people pray on practical dates, first and fifteenth lunar days, deity birthdays, or whenever they can visit respectfully.
Does the planner submit a prayer?
No. It prepares a private checklist and calendar entry. Use Bai Bai's prayer page separately if you want to make an online offering.
Can I share the plan?
Yes. The page URL can carry non-sensitive planning choices. Avoid adding private personal data.
