About

Siddur for Watch

Features
Read full description

Siddur for Watch (סידור לשעון) is a standalone Hebrew siddur and bencher for Apple Watch: Mincha, Maariv, Birkat HaMazon, Kriat Shema al HaMita and more, in your nusach and with everything added for today. It works without an iPhone and without an internet connection, so the prayers and blessings are always on your wrist: Mincha at work, Maariv on the way home, at the table or on the road. What's inside • Mincha, with Korbanot and Pitum HaKetoret as an option • Maariv • Birkat HaMazon (Grace after Meals), with a zimun option • Beracha Me'ein Shalosh (Al HaMichya, Al HaGefen, Al HaEtz): pick what you ate and the text adapts • Borei Nefashot • Asher Yatzar • Tefilat HaDerech (the Traveler's Prayer) • Kriat Shema al HaMita (the bedtime Shema) • Hoshanot on Sukkot, in the order for that day and year Three nusachim Sefard, Ashkenaz and Edot HaMizrach, with full nikud in a clear Hebrew font (Hadasim). Every insertion, automatically The app computes the Hebrew date and the time of sunset itself, and adds what is said today: • Ya'aleh VeYavo on Rosh Chodesh and Chol HaMoed, Al HaNissim on Chanukah and Purim • Mashiv HaRuach or Morid HaTal, and V'ten Tal U'Matar in its season • The additions of the Ten Days of Repentance • On fast days: Aneinu and Avinu Malkeinu, and Nachem on Tisha B'Av • Tachanun only on the days it is said • On Motzaei Shabbat: Atah Chonantanu and Vihi Noam • Sefirat HaOmer every night, with that night's count • In Birkat HaMazon: Retzeh, the Harachaman additions, Magdil or Migdol Every insertion is marked with a small title and a gold bar, so you see at a glance what was added today. The parts said only in the chazzan's repetition (such as the Kedusha) have a blue-gray bar, so you always know where to go on. Each prayer follows its own time: a Mincha said after sunset still belongs to the day, and Maariv already belongs to the coming night. Choose a location (Israel, Jerusalem or outside Israel), which decides the rain seasons, the second day of Yom Tov and Purim in Jerusalem. If the meal began before sunset, move the reading to the previous or next day. Made for reading on a watch • Scroll with the Digital Crown • Auto-scroll (watchOS 11 or later): long-press the text and pick a speed. A touch or a turn of the crown pauses it, and it resumes by itself after three seconds • Adjustable text size, right on the reading screen • Black background with light text, and Always-On support: when you lower your wrist the text stays on screen, dimmed The app's interface and texts are in Hebrew. Privacy The app collects no data, never connects to the internet and asks for no permissions. Your settings stay on your watch. The font (Hadasim) is from the Culmus project by Yoram Gnat, distributed under the GPL with the font exception. Found a mistake in the text, or have an idea?
