Amud

Amud tells you what to daven today, and when. It says what is different about today's tefillah: what to add, what to skip, what to say differently, in the order you daven it. Each item is marked SAY, SKIP or ADD, in plain English with the Hebrew beside it. No shul knowledge assumed, and it works offline.

WHAT IS DIFFERENT TODAY

Over fifty things a year, each raised on the day it matters: Tachanun, Tzidkascha, Hallel full or half, Ya'aleh V'yavo, Al HaNisim, Mashiv HaRuach and Morid HaTal, V'sein Tal U'Matar with the exact changeover night, Sefiras HaOmer, Selichos, Avinu Malkeinu, Aseres Yemei Teshuvah, fasts and Aneinu, Yizkor, Shabbos Mevorchim with the molad, Kiddush Levana, Eruv Tavshilin and Tisha B'Av. The parsha shows every day, not only on Shabbos.

ZMANIM FOR WHERE YOU ARE

Every row leads with what you DO, the zman's name beside it: earliest tallis and tefillin, last Krias Shema, last Shacharis, earliest and l'chatchilah Mincha, earliest Maariv, shkia, nacht, last Maariv, candles, fast start and end, the end of Shabbos and Rabbeinu Tam. Times follow your position to the neighbourhood, and Alos, Misheyakir and Plag each have a choice of shitah.

WAITING BETWEEN MEAT AND DAIRY

Press it when you finish eating and Amud counts the wait, on the ring at the top of the day and on the Lock Screen. Six hours, five and a half, five and a minute into the sixth, three, one, or your own, each naming its posek. Clock hours, so a flight cannot move it.

WHEN TO LIGHT, AND WHAT IS COMING

Chanukah lighting to your own shitah, with how long the oil must last. The four Purim windows. The Seder's two deadlines. Every Yom Tov and fast of the year ahead.

SIMCHAS AND YAHRZEITS

Hebrew birthdays, bar and bas mitzvah with its parsha, anniversaries and yahrzeits, from the ordinary date you know. Kept on your phone.

TONIGHT'S MAARIV

Maariv belongs to the day starting at nightfall, not the one just gone. Amud says which day it is, and what changes in it.

TEN REMINDERS, ALL OPTIONAL

All off until you turn them on: the daily davening note, only on days something changes; before the last Krias Shema, with your own lead time; the evening Shema in summer; before shkia, to catch Mincha; the nightly Omer count; before candle lighting; before a fast; Eruv Tavshilin; Erev Pesach chometz; and your daily limud. Each worked out on your phone, from your location.

SHABBOS AND YOM TOV

A full briefing before it starts and on the day itself, covering the whole run when Yom Tov runs into Shabbos. Print it, a page a day.

SHNAYIM MIKRA

The weekly parsha, with a tap-to-mark checklist of the aliyos.

WHICH WAY TO DAVEN

The direction of the Kodesh HaKodashim from where you are, in words not degrees, with a live compass.

WIDGETS

Today at a glance, the next zman, today's learning, and a live fast or meat and dairy countdown on the Lock Screen.

YOUR NUSACH

Ashkenaz, Sefard, Chabad and Edot HaMizrach. It changes the answers, not only the spelling: Shacharis or Shacharit, Maariv or Arvit.

ALSO

Tikkun Chatzos and Melava Malka. Israeli minhag as a setting you declare, not something GPS decides. Dark or light, 12 or 24 hour clock, Hebrew or English dates. Back up everything to one file you own, and restore it.

PRIVATE AND OFFLINE

No account, nothing collected. Your location is used only for your zmanim and never leaves your phone. The calendar is in the app, so it works in airplane mode.

Where communities differ, an item is marked minhag. A davening aid, not a posek. For a final ruling, ask your rov.
