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.

Kosher Switch turns your iPhone into a kosher phone with one tap, and back again with a code. Works on iPhone and iPod touch with iOS 15 or newer. On iOS 15 (iPod touch), Apple allows it only on a child's device in Family Sharing. FOR PARENTS AND FOR YOURSELF Set up your child's iPhone with Family Sharing, or use it on your own phone and let someone you trust (a spouse, parent or rav) choose the code. In kosher mode, only the person with the code can switch the phone back. ONLY THE APPS YOU CHOOSE Choose the apps you keep, like Phone, Messages, WhatsApp, Camera and Maps. Up to 50 apps disappear from the Home Screen, and every other app shows the kosher screen instead of opening. Installing apps is blocked in kosher mode, and Kosher Switch can't be deleted. NO BROWSER. OUR ADVICE. We believe a kosher phone shouldn't have a web browser at all, not even a filtered one. So websites start fully blocked, Safari included. If you really need it, the kosher filter keeps Safari clean: adult sites and image search are blocked, Kosher Pictures covers pictures of people, and pages and searches with unsuitable words don't open. Other browsers get no internet in kosher mode. The choice is yours. A CALM KOSHER HOME SCREEN Kosher Home Screen widgets show a big clock, the Hebrew date and your apps as a calm list, like a minimalist phone. The כשר button in Control Center switches modes, and a Kosher Focus gives the phone its own wallpaper. EVERYTHING INCLUDED • Siddur and Tehillim (Ashkenaz, Sefard and Edot HaMizrach), with the daily and weekly Tehillim and chapter-by-chapter reading. • A compass to Jerusalem: from your exact location to the Temple Mount, with a built-in level and gentle haptics when you face it. • A tefillin mirror: the front camera checks that your shel rosh sits in the middle and on the hair, not the forehead. Nothing is recorded. • A luach with zmanim for where you are, what you can still pray now and how long is left, and optional reminders. • Notes with drawing, and an assistant powered by Apple Intelligence that calls, texts, sets alarms and remembers who's who. • English or Hebrew, with prayer names in Hebrew. PLANS Kosher mode needs a Personal or Family subscription, monthly or yearly. Personal monthly starts with a 2-week free trial for new subscribers. Family is shared with up to 5 family members through Family Sharing. Turning kosher mode off never needs a plan. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period; manage them in Settings → Apple Account → Subscriptions. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ PRIVATE No account, no ads and no tracking. Kosher Switch uses Apple's Screen Time on your iPhone; nothing you do is sent to us.
