## What is Shabbat?

Shabbat gives you one full day away from your phone, every week.

From candle lighting on Friday to three stars on Saturday, every app is blocked. Calls still come through, and you can keep the few apps you truly need, like Maps or Clock. Open anything else and you get a quiet black screen with one line: when your phone comes back.

HOW IT WORKS
• Turn on Weekly Shabbat once. It starts on its own every Friday, 18 minutes before sunset where you are (40 in Jerusalem), and ends when three stars come out on Saturday.
• Prefer fixed hours? Set your own, like Friday 8 PM to Saturday 7 PM.
• Phone and emergency calls are never blocked.
• Try it for 15 minutes before your first Friday.

AN EXIT FOR REAL EMERGENCIES
Hold the emergency button for 10 seconds and everything unlocks until Shabbat ends. Changed your mind? Tap "Back to Shabbat" to block again.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No account, no ads, no tracking. Shabbat calculates sunset on your phone and never sends anything off it, not even your location.
