Amud tells you what's different about today's davening. It reads the date and where you are and answers the question - the way a shul notice board would, except you don't need the shul. Each item is marked SAY, SKIP or ADD, in plain English with the Hebrew beside it. Built for anyone davening without a minyan - on campus, on the road, or in a town with no kehilla - and it works completely offline.
WHAT IS DIFFERENT TODAY
Over fifty things a year, raised on the day they matter: Tachanun, Tzidkascha, Hallel, Ya'aleh V'yavo, Al HaNisim, Mashiv HaRuach and Morid HaTal, V'sein Tal U'Matar, Sefiras HaOmer, Selichos, Avinu Malkeinu, fasts and Aneinu, Yizkor, Shabbos Mevorchim with the molad, Kiddush Levana, Eruv Tavshilin and Tisha B'Av. The parsha shows every day.
ZMANIM FOR WHERE YOU ARE
Every row leads with what you DO: earliest tallis and tefillin, last Krias Shema, last Shacharis, Mincha, earliest Maariv, shkia, nacht, last Maariv, candles, fast start and end, the end of Shabbos and Rabbeinu Tam. Times follow your position; Alos, Misheyakir and Plag each have a choice of shitah.
A PRIVATE TAHARAH CALENDAR
Off by default, behind one quiet row in Settings. Turn it on and a private card keeps the whole halachic cycle: the expected dates each month and when to separate, the hefsek taharah with its exact time window, the seven clean days with morning and afternoon ticks, and the mikvah night with a full preparation checklist. Record a flow by date, time and city and the app works out the halachic day and onah itself. Reminders for every step, an expecting mode, after-birth tracking, a kallah's first-time halachos, paste-in history, and a printable 12-month record for a doctor or a rav. Anything with a machlokes says ask your rav. A tap hides the card instantly, it never appears on any shared screen or printed sheet, and everything stays on your phone.
WAITING BETWEEN MEAT AND DAIRY
Press it when you finish eating and Amud counts the wait on the ring at the top. 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.
SIMCHAS AND YAHRZEITS
Hebrew birthdays, bar and bas mitzvah with its parsha, anniversaries and yahrzeits, from the ordinary date you know - or paste in a whole list at once. Kept on your phone.
THE CHOILIM LIST
Names to daven for, behind a heart at the top. Each name appears exactly as you type it, Hebrew or English, and the Yehi Ratzon after Tehillim is worded around your names, with English letters for anyone who cannot read Hebrew. Off by default.
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 ahead. Maariv belongs to the day starting at nightfall - 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 on days something changes, last Krias Shema, the evening Shema, Mincha before shkia, the Omer, candles, fasts, Eruv Tavshilin, chometz, your limud.

ALSO
Which way to daven, in words with a live compass. Home-screen widgets. Ashkenaz, Sefard, Chabad and Edot HaMizrach - the nusach changes the answers, not only the spelling. A full Shabbos and Yom Tov briefing, printable. Tikkun Chatzos. Back up everything to one file you own.
PRIVATE AND OFFLINE
No account, nothing collected. Your location never leaves your phone. Where communities differ, an item is marked minhag. A davening aid, not a posek - for a final ruling, ask your rov.
