The Hebrew calendar, beautifully: holidays, Torah portions, Daf Yomi, Shabbat times for your city, and the dates that matter to you – right on your Home Screen.
Chodesh – Hebrew Date & Calendar
The Hebrew calendar, beautifully. See today's Hebrew date, the holidays and Torah portions, Shabbat and festival times for your city, and the dates that matter to you – in the app and right on your Home Screen and Lock Screen.
_____
Calendar
• Browse the Hebrew month with the Gregorian dates beside it: holidays, fasts, Rosh Chodesh, Israeli national days and the weekly Torah portion at a glance.
• Colored dots tell festivals, fasts, Chol HaMoed, Rosh Chodesh and your own events apart. Only today is colored; the selected day is circled.
• Tap any day for its full date, events and daily learning.
Daily learning
• Each day's section of the Torah portion, the Daf Yomi page and – between Pesach and Shavuot – the Omer count.
Shabbat and festival times
• Candle lighting and havdalah for your city, in the calendar and in your widgets. Choose your city once – Chodesh never asks for location access.
• Follows local custom, including the earlier candle lighting in Jerusalem and Haifa.
• Shabbat ends by three stars, the Geonim or Rabbeinu Tam – your choice.
• Optionally start the Hebrew day at sunset, as it does in practice.
Israel or the Diaspora
• Second days of festivals and the Torah portion follow the place you choose.
My Events
• Hebrew birthdays, yahrzeits, anniversaries – each one recurs on its Hebrew date every year, in the calendar and in your widgets.
• Reminders on the day, or a day, a week or a month before – or any interval you like, at the time you choose.
• Counts the years ("Noa turns 9", "26 year memorial").
• Your choice of Adar I or Adar II in leap years.
• Syncs between iPhone, iPad and Mac through your own iCloud.
Date converter
• Hebrew to Gregorian and back, in a tap.
Widgets
• Eleven widget styles for the Home Screen and the Lock Screen: the Hebrew date, the Hebrew or Gregorian month, month and events, the week at a glance, and what's coming up.
• System, dark or light; Hebrew letters or Western digits.
In English and Hebrew, for iPhone and iPad, in portrait and landscape. Also on the Mac, in your menu bar.
Private by design: no accounts, no tracking, no personal data collection. Your events stay on your devices and in your own iCloud. Crash reports are sent only if you agree.
