Duolingo for davening.
Understand the words you've been mumbling for years.
One line of weekday Shacharit explained every morning, five minutes at a time, on a winding path from מוֹדֶה אֲנִי to עָלֵינוּ, with Ari the lion keeping you company and the whole siddur in your own nusach.
One line a day
Not a survey, not a summary. The siddur in the order you actually pray it, sentence by sentence, until you have covered all of it.
Five honest minutes
Short enough to keep. One real idea from the Zohar, the Tanya or Chassidus, and one parallel from the world you actually live in.
A friend, not a podium
Like someone who happens to know this stuff, explaining it over a drink after davening. Real depth, zero lecturing.
How it works
A path, not a list.
Open the path
Your home screen is a winding trail through Shacharit. Every session is a stop, every section of the service is a unit in its own colour, and today is where the path waits for you.
Tap through the story
Each day starts with a question ("Why is the first word of the day thank you?") and answers it in a swipeable deck, about the length of a coffee. Or press Listen and it reads to you.
Go deeper if you want
The Hebrew, large and unhurried. Transliteration when you want it. A clear translation, a short teaching in a kiddush-table voice, and the sources so you can look it up yourself.
Come back tomorrow
The stop turns gold, Ari cheers, your streak stays warm. Shabbos and Yom Tov are rest days, never a miss. Every week or so, a short chazarah checks what stuck.
Meet Ari
Strong as a lion.
The first line of the Shulchan Aruch says to get up in the morning bold as a leopard, light as an eagle, swift as a deer and strong as a lion. So that is the crew. Ari the lion greets you, waits beside today's stop and cheers when you finish. He never scolds. Namer, Nesher and Tzvi turn up along the way.
עַז כַּנָּמֵר, וְקַל כַּנֶּשֶׁר, וְרָץ כַּצְּבִי, וְגִבּוֹר כָּאֲרִי
Namer
Bold as a leopard
Nesher
Light as an eagle
Tzvi
Swift as a deer
Ari
Strong as a lion
More than the lesson
Everything else you need in the morning.
Your own siddur
The full weekday siddur in Ashkenaz, Sefard or Edot HaMizrach, one continuous scroll with a table of contents. Every session marks its line wherever it appears in yours.
A guide to the whole service
How Shacharit is built as an ascent through four worlds, the anatomy of the Shemoneh Esrei, who wrote the siddur and when. Tap any unit for its guide.
Listen, or read it simple
Every story can be read aloud, Hebrew included. A Simple reading mode says the same thing in plainer words, and the whole app speaks English or Spanish.
