B'Aeretz

813 places across 16 cities, checked one at a time. Kosher kitchens with the certifying body named. Shabbat times, mikvaot, shuls and walks — all of it works offline.

B'Aeretz is a travel companion for observant visitors to Israel, built around the questions you actually ask: is this kitchen certified and by whom, what time does Shabbat come in here, where is the nearest mikveh, and can I still get there before everything shuts.

It works with no signal. Everything is on the phone — the whole of the Old City with the reception it deserves, a plane, the Judean desert.

WHAT IS IN IT

• 366 places to see, from the Kotel to Makhtesh Ramon • 221 kosher kitchens, with the certifying body named where it is published • 143 hotels, marked mehadrin where the hotel itself says so • 36 shuls and minyanim, with nusach • 9 mikvaot — address and telephone, deliberately no opening hours • 68 guided walks that read each stop aloud as you reach it • 16 cities: Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, Haifa, Tiberias, Safed, Eilat and more

SHABBAT AND CHAG

Candle lighting and havdalah for wherever you are standing, not for a city you are not in. Yom tov dates are bundled into the app through 2028, so a chag is recognised with no connection. Nothing is listed as open on Shabbat unless it genuinely is, and a reminder will never fire once Shabbat has begun.

KASHRUT, HONESTLY

Certification is reported as the certifying bodies publish it, and the app says which body — Rabbanut, Mehadrin, Badatz, Tzohar — rather than a badge that means nothing. Where a kitchen's supervision could not be confirmed, it says so and tells you to ask. The teudah on the wall is always the answer.

PLAN A TRIP

Answer three questions and the app builds a day-by-day itinerary around where you are staying, what is actually open, and how far you want to walk. Pin a day to another city and it plans that day there. Export it as a document, or read it on the phone.

ALSO

Zmanim, a Shabbat clock, walking routes with the climb shown, neighbourhood guides, a phrasebook, live currency, weather, and what is on this week.

NO ACCOUNT. NO TRACKING.

There is no sign-up, no analytics, no advertising, and no server of ours. Your location is used on the phone and never sent anywhere. Everything you save stays on your device.
