Better Daily vs ActivePray

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.

ActivePray is a prayer app for daily religious practice. Prayer times, the right calendar, the appointed days, and the scripture to read — set to the branch you follow, and working whether or not you have a signal. THREE FAITHS. EIGHT BRANCHES. Judaism (Karaite, Conservative / Masorti, Reform) Islam (Sunni, Shia (Twelver)) Christianity (Orthodox, Catholic, Protestant) The layout is shared. Nothing else is. Each branch keeps its own calendar — its own months, its own leap years, its own hour at which a day begins — and its own prayers, fasts and dates. Where two branches disagree, each is followed on its own terms rather than averaged into one. THE FIVE SCREENS Today — the next prayer, the window you are in, and what today is in your own calendar: ordinary, a fast, or a day set apart. Prayer — the services, the readings, the psalms and the prayers appointed for the day, in the original script alongside the English. With a guided washing flow when your branch asks for one. Calendar — your branch's own calendar with its appointed dates inline, and the detail behind any day. Active — the daily ring, streaks, mercy days and badges, for showing up. Profile — the branch you follow, reminders, bookmarks and settings. Plus a compass pointing where your branch faces, a Live Activity counting down to the next prayer, Home and Lock Screen widgets, and reminders built per branch. RECKONED ON YOUR PHONE Every time in this app is calculated from where you are and where the sun is — nothing is fetched, so nothing breaks when you are offline. The dates have been checked one by one against outside authorities, and where the app disagrees with a published table, the disagreement is recorded rather than quietly smoothed over. PRIVATE BY BUILD, NOT BY PROMISE No analytics. No advertising. No tracking. Your name, streaks, history, saved verses and photo stay on your device and in your own iCloud, which we cannot read. Your location is used on your device to work out your times and is never sent to us. The single exception is your username, which has to be unique and so lives in a database we keep — and the privacy policy says exactly what is in it. ACTIVE+ (OPTIONAL) The core is free and stays free: every prayer time, the sun and moon times yourccalendar turns on, the calendar itself, the compass, reminders, and the Home Screen widget. Active+ adds a private prayer journal, end-to-end encrypted in your iCloud; custom reminder timing, a morning prayer alarm that rings even on silent, Lock Screen widgets, the Year in Prayer (your year month by month, your most-kept prayers and every streak), Quiet Progress for practising without the numbers, a supporter star, places of worship near you, the fasting planner, alternate app icons, and the pilgrimage planner. €2.99 a month, auto-renewing until cancelled. Payment is charged to your Apple Account on confirmation of purchase, and renews unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel it in Settings, under your Apple Account.
