About this app

Meet "Siddur HaYom" - your new daily companion for Jewish life, built with care to be with you from dawn until well after nightfall.

What's inside?

• A smart, dynamic siddur: the nusach of your prayers - Ashkenaz, Sepharad or Edot HaMizrach - kept in step with the Hebrew calendar, with no internet either (offline).
• Real-time zmanim: a precise astronomical calculation of every time of the day, done inside the app, from your GPS or from a city you pick, adapted for outside Israel and for those who live there.
• Find a Minyan: locate synagogues and minyanim near you, with no connection either, built on crowd wisdom and user verification. You can add reminders for specific minyanim.
• A prayer compass: it shows the exact direction of prayer from anywhere in Israel and the world. Calibration is available when needed.
• An advanced alarm system: an alarm clock with a range of sounds, made for Shabbat and holidays, alongside reminders for Shabbat preparations, for times of the day you choose, for the meat-to-dairy wait and for prayers.
• A vast Jewish library: 742 books, all of them downloadable for offline use, sorted into a range of categories: Tanach; Chazal - including the Talmud with the classic daf in a comfortable layout; Halacha - from the Rishonim to Pninei Halacha; responsa, Kabbalah, mussar, machshava and chassidut.
• A wide range of daily studies within easy reach, with a "studied" checkmark and a personal progress calendar: Tehillim, Tikkun HaKlali, Daf Yomi in Bavli and Yerushalmi, Shnayim Mikra, Mishnah, Rambam, Shulchan Aruch, Aruch HaShulchan, Tanya, Tanach (traditional and 929), the Haftarah, Daf HaShavua and Chok LeYisrael.
• Hebrew calendar: holidays, weekly parashot and your own events, along with a date converter.
• Sefirat HaOmer: a daily reminder to count the Omer, with quick access to the blessing wording you chose.
• A timer in the notification and on the lock screen: as you choose, a countdown until Shabbat or a holiday begins, until a fast ends, and until the meat-to-dairy wait is over - with no need to open the app.
• Widgets and shortcuts: widgets - Shabbat times, zmanim, the calendar, the daily study and the nearest minyan. Shortcuts from the app icon - the alarm system, Find a Minyan, Birkat HaMazon, zmanim.
• An advanced reading experience: bookmarks, font and size, color themes, text search, margin width, full screen, automatic scrolling and more.
• A personal account: signing in gives you your bookmarks, your chosen studies, the preparation lists and the alerts on every device you sign in from.

All of it wrapped in a modern, clean and fast design. Almost the whole app works with no internet (offline), so nothing stops your day.

Siddur HaYom is completely free and ad-free.
