Amud

Amud tells you what to daven today, and when.

Open it and 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 is assumed, and it works offline.

WHAT IS DIFFERENT TODAY

Over fifty things come up across a year, each raised on the day it matters: Tachanun and why it is omitted, 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, the Aseres Yemei Teshuvah changes, fasts and Aneinu, Yizkor, Shabbos Mevorchim with the molad, Kiddush Levana, Eruv Tavshilin, and Tisha B'Av in detail. The parsha shows every day, not only on Shabbos.

ZMANIM FOR EXACTLY WHERE YOU ARE

Every row leads with what you DO, with the zman's own name beside it: earliest tallis and tefillin, last Krias Shema, last Shacharis, earliest and l'chatchilah Mincha, earliest Maariv, shkia, nacht, last Maariv l'chatchilah, candles, fast start and end, the end of Shabbos and Rabbeinu Tam.

Times follow your position down to the neighbourhood, and Alos, Misheyakir and Plag each have a choice of shitah. Where a zman genuinely does not exist, far enough north in summer, Amud says so rather than invent a time.

TONIGHT'S MAARIV

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

TEN REMINDERS, EACH ONE OPTIONAL

All off until you turn them on, so worth a look in Settings:

The daily davening note, only on days something changes. Before the last Krias Shema, with your own lead time. The evening Shema in summer, when Maariv is often davened before nightfall. Before shkia, to catch Mincha. The nightly Omer count, in Hebrew, at the moment to say it. Before candle lighting. Before a fast begins. Eruv Tavshilin. Erev Pesach chometz. And your daily limud.

All worked out on your phone from your own location, so they follow you.

BEFORE SHABBOS AND YOM TOV

A full briefing of the coming Shabbos or Yom Tov before it starts, covering the whole run when Yom Tov flows into Shabbos. Print or share it, a page a day.

LIMUD YOMI, TWENTY CYCLES

Daf Yomi, Dirshu Gemara, Dirshu Mishnah Berurah, Yerushalmi, Mishnah Yomi, Nach Yomi, Rambam (one perek and three), Sefer HaMitzvos, Kitzur Shulchan Aruch, Chofetz Chaim, Shmiras HaLashon, Arukh HaShulchan, Daf HaShavua, Perek Yomi, Tehillim, 929, Likutei Moharan, Likutei Halachos, Oraysa Amud v'Chazara.

SHNAYIM MIKRA

The weekly parsha, with a tap-to-mark checklist of the aliyos at your own pace.

WHICH WAY TO DAVEN

The direction of the Kodesh HaKodashim from wherever you are, in words rather than a bare number, with a live compass and a sun method needing none.

WIDGETS

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

YOUR NUSACH

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

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 to one file and move between iPhone, Android and web.

PRIVATE, AND OFFLINE

No account, nothing collected. Your location is used only for your zmanim and never leaves your phone. The whole calendar is inside 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.
