Better Daily helps you bring more mitzvot into your everyday life. Whether you're just starting your Jewish journey or deepening an established practice, Better Daily makes it easy to track, learn, and grow — one mitzvah at a time. PERSONALIZED TO YOU Set up your profile with your gender, nusach (Ashkenaz, Sefard, Edot HaMizrach, or Chabad), and marital status. Better Daily filters mitzvot so you only see what's relevant to you, at the right time of day. DAILY MITZVAH TRACKING See your active mitzvot for today — morning, afternoon, and evening. Check off completed mitzvot or use counters for those you perform multiple times, like saying brachot throughout the day. HOLIDAY AWARE Better Daily knows the Jewish calendar. Chanukah, Purim, Pesach, Sukkot, and more — holiday mitzvot appear automatically on the right days (including Chol HaMoed) and disappear when they don't apply. Tefillin pauses on Yom Tov, while Hallel and Musaf show up exactly when they should. SMART REMINDERS Take on a new mitzvah and Better Daily helps you build the habit with notifications matched to each mitzvah's frequency — or set your own schedule. BLESSING COUNTER Track your daily brachot with a real-time counter. Aim for 100 blessings a day, a practice rooted in the Talmud (Menachot 43b). Hit your goal and celebrate with confetti! HEBREW TEXT & BRACHOT View the full Hebrew text, transliteration, and English translation for blessings and mitzvot. Learn the proper bracha for each mitzvah with support for multiple nusach traditions. GRACE AFTER MEALS Access Birkat HaMazon with meal-type options so you can find the right version quickly after any meal. SMART FEATURES - Streaks and progress tracking to see how you're growing over time - Honest tracking: mark a mitzvah "did not do" and start fresh tomorrow - Time-based filtering shows relevant mitzvot for morning, afternoon, or evening - Day transition detection keeps your progress accurate (even after midnight) - Completed, active, and optional sections keep things organized Better Daily was built by an observant Jew who wanted something better than flipping through a siddur app or checking off a generic to-do list. It's designed to make halachic observance accessible, personal, and motivating. Download Better Daily and start making every day count.
