Erev: Shabbat Times & Kosher

Saturday night, havdalah waits for you: the text, a screen that stays awake, your city's own time. Times and holidays worked out on your phone, offline.

Friday. You just want to know: what time does Shabbat come in?

Erev answers before you even open it. The countdown lives on your lock screen, updates live, and disappears after havdalah. That is the whole idea: a Jewish app that shows up at the right moment, beautiful and precise, and leaves you alone the rest of the time.

YOUR CITY'S TIMES, TO THE MINUTE Candle lighting, Shabbat ends, and the zmanim of the day. Every time says where it comes from: Erev names the opinion it follows, it never rules for you.

THE FRIDGE CALENDAR, IN YOUR POCKET Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Sukkot, Hanukkah, Purim, Pesach, Shavuot, the fasts, Rosh Chodesh. The weekly parasha and the Omer count. Israel calendar or diaspora, your choice.

THE KOSHER SCANNER Scan a barcode and Erev tells you whether the product is on the official lists. It will never claim more than the lists say.

PRAYERS, WITH TRANSLITERATION Shema, Birkat Hamazon, the Amidah, kiddush, havdalah, the blessings before eating. Vocalized Hebrew, transliteration and translation. Two rites.

AND ON SATURDAY NIGHT, IT WAITS FOR YOU Havdalah stays on screen until you have said it, on a screen that will not go dark while you hold the candle.

WHAT STAYS ON YOUR PHONE There is nothing to create before you can use it: Erev opens and it works. What you do inside stays on your phone. No ads. And no notification during Shabbat, a holiday or a fast: it waits for the end.

Erev does not replace your rabbi. It gives times and names its sources.
