Tikkun Chatzot

The midnight rite, on time

Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Chatzot halayla moves every night and differs by where you are. Set your location once and be woken at the right moment, with the text ready. There is no good time to wake for Tikkun Chatzot, and no obvious one either. Chatzot halayla moves every night, differs by where you are, and is almost never midnight on the clock. This app removes that problem. Set your location once. Every night it works out chatzot for exactly where you are, wakes you at it, and has the text waiting when you get up. THE RIGHT TIME, WHEREVER YOU ARE Chatzot halayla is calculated as twelve hours after chatzot hayom, the reckoning of the Baal HaTanya (Shulchan Aruch HaRav, Hashkamat HaBoker 1:8). The app shows the whole derivation — sunrise, sunset, chatzot hayom, chatzot halayla — so you can check it against your own luach rather than take it on faith. A NIGHTLY ALERT AT THAT TIME, AND ONLY THAT TIME One notification a night. It knows which nights Tikkun Rachel is not recited — Shabbat, Yom Tov, Rosh Chodesh, the month of Nisan, Chanukah — and tells you why. TIKKUN RACHEL, IN HEBREW AND ENGLISH Nusach ha-Ari, in the order of the Siddur Torah Ohr of Rabbi Shneur Zalman of Liadi. Built for reading at one in the morning: dark from edge to edge, large adjustable type, and the screen stays awake. It remembers where you stopped. WHAT HAPPENED ON THIS NIGHT The date in Jewish history, keyed to the Hebrew date, every entry with its source. YOUR OWN KAVANOT Names to hold in mind, and what you are rising for. Written at the head of the text so they are in front of you while you say it. Everything stays on your phone. No account, no sign-in, no analytics, nothing sent anywhere. The app works with no signal at all. Where practice is uncertain, ask a rav — not an app.
