Shabbos!!שבת vs Kosher Switch

Inspired by the Shabbat alerts in Jerusalem, the Shabbos App brings the thrill of Shabbat and Yom Tov arrival to your phone. Music starts 40 minutes before Shabbat and Yom Tov. A Shofar sounds at candle lighting and alerts you with the exact time of Issur Melacha (18 minutes after candle lighting) for over 100,000 cities. Shofar and the Arrival of Shabbat In the times of the Beit HaMikdash, Shabbat was announced publicly. The Gemara (Gemara Shabbat 35b)* describes how the shofar was blown on Friday afternoon: first to call workers in from the fields, then to stop labor in the city, to close shops, and finally to signal the official beginning of Shabbat. These blasts ensured that the entire community entered Shabbat together, prepared and aware — a reminder that Shabbat is not only kept, but welcomed. With Hashem’s help, speedily in our days, may the Beit HaMikdash be built, and may we once again hear the shofar announcing the arrival of Shabbat in Jerusalem. בהשראת התרעות השבת בירושלים, אפליקציית השבת מביאה את ההתרגשות של כניסת השבת ויום טוב אליך המוזיקה מתחילה 40 דקות לפני שבת או יום טוב, ובזמן הדלקת הנרות נשמע קול שופר, יחד עם התראה על הזמן המדויק של איסור מלאכה (18 דקות לאחר הדלקת הנרות), עבור למעלה מ־100,000 ערים ברחבי העולם השופר וקבלת השבת בימי בית המקדש, השבת הוכרזה בפומבי. בגמרא (שבת ל״ה ע״ב)* מתואר כיצד היו תוקעים בשופר שש תקיעות בערב שבת: תחילה כדי לקרוא לפועלים שבשדות לשוב לביתם, לאחר מכן להפסיק את המלאכה בעיר, לסגור את החנויות, ולבסוף להודיע על כניסתה הרשמית של השבת. תקיעות אלו הבטיחו שכל הציבור ייכנס לשבת יחד — מוכן ומודע — תזכורת לכך שהשבת אינה רק נשמרת, אלא מתקבלת בעזרת ה׳, במהרה בימינו, יבנה בית המקדש, ונשמע שוב את קול השופר המבשר את כניסת השבת בירושלים * Gemara Shabbat 35b - שבת ל״ה ע״ב

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.
