Modeh Ani
Read full descriptionHide full description
Start every morning with intention. Modeh Ani is a gentle alarm clock built around the Jewish morning prayer of gratitude, traditionally said upon waking. Instead of a generic buzzer, your alarm wakes you with the Modeh Ani recitation itself, then opens to the prayer displayed line by line in Hebrew, transliteration, and English. "I give thanks before You, living and eternal King, for You have mercifully restored my soul within me; Your faithfulness is great." Whether you grew up saying these words or are discovering them for the first time, Modeh Ani turns an ordinary wake-up into a quiet daily moment of gratitude. KEY FEATURES - Wake to the Prayer: Your alarm rings with the Modeh Ani recitation as its sound, then opens to a full-screen prayer display with Hebrew, transliteration, and English. - Modeh / Modah Text: Choose the grammatical form that fits you, with matching prayer text. - Choose Your Voice: Select and preview a male or female recitation before your alarm is set. - Weekly Scheduling: Pick which days of the week your alarm sounds. Set it once and let it run. - Shabbat & Holiday Auto-Skip: Optionally skip alarms on Shabbat and major Jewish holidays (Yom Tov). With location permission, Modeh Ani calculates local sunset-based boundaries for more accurate timing. - Built on AlarmKit: Modeh Ani uses Apple's AlarmKit framework for reliable system-level alarms that ring even when your iPhone is locked or silenced. - Dark, Dawn-Inspired Design: A deep black background with warm golden accents — gentle on your eyes first thing in the morning. BUILT FOR PRIVACY Modeh Ani has no accounts, no sign-ups, no advertising, no third-party analytics, and no tracking. Alarm settings, voice selection, observance settings, and optional location details are stored on your device. If you grant location permission, your iPhone may send coordinates directly to Apple for city-name lookup; they are not sent to developer-operated servers. Begin each day with gratitude.
