## What is Smart Brachot?

There is a blessing for thunder. Another for a rainbow, for the sea, for the first fruit of the season. A hundred a day. The hard part was never knowing them — it is remembering in the moment.

Don't search for the words. Barkai knows when.

THE SKY TELLS YOU
This is what no other blessings app does. Barkai reads the real sky over your city — with Apple Weather — and tells you the moment: a storm rolls in and the thunder blessing is ready. Rain with a low sun: rainbow conditions. The first rain of the season. An earthquake. The waxing moon in its window. And when the three stars come out at the close of Shabbat, it tells you it is time for Havdalah. Arrive at the sea, a river, a mountain, and "the place calls you." Your precise location never leaves your phone.

IT KNOWS THE HOUR
Open the app and find what fits now: Modeh Ani on waking, the table at noon, the close of the day at night. Halachic hour and Hebrew calendar, read together with the sky — if the weather contradicts what it was about to suggest, it stays quiet rather than get it wrong.

"I'M ABOUT TO EAT"
One tap, pick your foods, and Barkai lays out the halachic order of your table's blessings — with the after-blessing waiting for you.

WHAT ARE YOU LIVING?
Type it — "I'm about to eat fruit," "I saw the sea" — or take a photo, and Barkai tells you whether there is a blessing for this. The photo is recognized inside your phone; the image never leaves it.

YOUR CHAIN
Every blessing said threads itself in: a living strand that joins the chain of the generations — three thousand years — and grows with you. Your goal starts where you can; the full norm is one hundred. The chain never breaks on Shabbat: the day of rest counts whole, and the app goes quiet with you.

WHAT'S INSIDE
All one hundred brachot — berachot, brochos, however you spell them — in clear Hebrew with nikud, transliteration and translation: Modeh Ani, Asher Yatzar, Netilat Yadayim, HaMotzi, HaGafen, the blessings for fruit and earth, Birkat Hamazon, Shehecheyanu, Hamapil. And the year's: Shabbat candles, Havdalah, Chanukah, Purim, Pesach, Sukkot, Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur. Zmanim for your city, the Hebrew date, Friday's candle-lighting reminder.

ALWAYS FREE
All 100 blessings, complete, to read and say whenever you want. The texts are never charged for.

PREMIUM: THE LIVING APP (USD 2.99/mo, or yearly at ~20% off)
The sky alerts, the suggestion by hour and calendar, your table's seder in one tap, and your counter with your chain. No trial days: the free catalog is the trial, forever.

WHY "BARKAI"
In the Mishnah (Yoma 3:1), "Barkai!" is the call at the Temple at first light: there is enough light to begin. Meah berachot — a hundred blessings a day — is the world's oldest gratitude practice (Menachot 43b). This app exists so the moment does not pass you by.

From the house of My Jewish Day. Rigor with warmth: real sources, zero sermons.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.4.6 — 2026-09-30

Barkai now asks what you think — once, when your chain reaches a week or when the sky alerted you and you came to say the blessing. If it serves you, your rating helps others find it.

And two details: the time in the header no longer splits across two lines with large text, and the sky archive keeps only sky moments.

### 1.4.5 — 2026-09-23

If your phone is putting Barkai to sleep, we now tell you. Android suspends apps you do not open often, and sky alerts stop arriving even though everything works. If it happens, you will see the notice in Today and one tap fixes it.

Large text, done right: if you raised the font size on your phone, text grows as you asked, without spilling over. Several screens stopped clipping words.

And blossom season can now be dismissed with the X.

### 1.4.3 — 2026-08-28

Jolem joins the family. In Settings, "About us", you will now find Jolem: Talmud Dream Meanings, alongside My Jewish Day, Kimá and Kolí. One tap opens it in your store.

And if something is off: Settings, "Write to us". Your message reaches us with the version and device, so we can answer without asking the obvious.

### 1.4.2 — 2026-08-28

The sky alert and what you see when you open the app now say the same thing. If a storm, wind, or first-rain notification reaches you, that berachah is waiting inside — even if you open from the icon instead of the alert.

And now you can write to us: Settings, "Write to us". Your message arrives with the version and device, so we can answer without asking the obvious.

Also: two texts that broke apart at large font sizes, and crash reporting to fix errors before they reach you.

### 1.4.0 — 2026-08-26

The sky, closer.

· Wind is now measured with real anemometers, not just the model: alerts arrive when it truly blows.
· If your phone suspends apps to save battery, Barkai tells you and helps you allow it — without that, sky alerts never arrive.
· Kiddush Levanah: we let you know when the moon is in its window and your sky is clear.
· Birkat ha-Ilanot for your hemisphere: the blessing of blossoming trees, in your season.
· Your sky archive: the moments that used to pass and vanish, plus where the sky spoke in the world this week.
· The thread of the hundred daily blessings, the chain line on each blessing, and kavanot for every moment.
· Share a sky moment with someone in your city.
· Redeem a gift code.
