Your phone doesn't rest on Shabbat, but you're supposed to. Shabbat Mode fixes that — automatically.
Shabbat Mode
Go from distracted to present on your day of rest
"Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy" — Exodus 20:8
Your phone doesn't rest on Shabbat, but you're supposed to. Shabbat Mode fixes that: your distracting apps lock automatically at candle lighting and unlock after Havdalah.
No willpower needed, no fumbling with settings every Friday. Just peace.
How it works:
1. Choose which apps to block
2. Set your location for accurate zmanim (or design a custom blocking schedule, if you observe on a different day)
3. Apps lock automatically at candle lighting on Friday
4. Apps unlock after Havdalah on Saturday night
What's inside:
- Automatic app blocking, synced to your local candle lighting and Havdalah times
- Zero Friday setup, schedules repeat every week with no action needed
- Custom Shabbat hours, for those who start early or end late
- Friday reminder notification, so you're never caught off guard
- A weekly quote to carry into Shabbat
*all of the above features require an active subscription*
Good for:
- Actually keeping Shabbat without white-knuckling it
- Reducing screen time on the day that matters most
- Making your phone work for your observance, not against it
- Families and individuals at any level of observance
Shabbat Mode isn't another digital detox app. It's built specifically for shabbat, with real zmanim, real scheduling, and no configuration every week.
Your phone finally respects your day of rest.
