Smart Brachot: 100 Blessings

There is a blessing for thunder. Another for a rainbow, for the sea, for the first fruit of the season. A hundred a day. The hard part was never knowing them — it is remembering in the moment.

Don't search for the words. Barkai knows when.

THE SKY TELLS YOU
This is what no other blessings app does. Barkai reads the real sky over your city — with Apple Weather — and tells you the moment: a storm rolls in and the thunder blessing is ready. Rain with a low sun: rainbow conditions. The first rain of the season. An earthquake. The waxing moon in its window. And when the three stars come out at the close of Shabbat, it tells you it is time for Havdalah. Arrive at the sea, a river, a mountain, and "the place calls you." Your precise location never leaves your phone.

IT KNOWS THE HOUR
Open the app and find what fits now: Modeh Ani on waking, the table at noon, the close of the day at night. Halachic hour and Hebrew calendar, read together with the sky — if the weather contradicts what it was about to suggest, it stays quiet rather than get it wrong.

"I'M ABOUT TO EAT"
One tap, pick your foods, and Barkai lays out the halachic order of your table's blessings — with the after-blessing waiting for you.

WHAT ARE YOU LIVING?
Type it — "I'm about to eat fruit," "I saw the sea" — or take a photo, and Barkai tells you whether there is a blessing for this. The photo is recognized inside your phone; the image never leaves it.

YOUR CHAIN
Every blessing said threads itself in: a living strand that joins the chain of the generations — three thousand years — and grows with you. Your goal starts where you can; the full norm is one hundred. The chain never breaks on Shabbat: the day of rest counts whole, and the app goes quiet with you.

WHAT'S INSIDE
All one hundred brachot — berachot, brochos, however you spell them — in clear Hebrew with nikud, transliteration and translation: Modeh Ani, Asher Yatzar, Netilat Yadayim, HaMotzi, HaGafen, the blessings for fruit and earth, Birkat Hamazon, Shehecheyanu, Hamapil. And the year's: Shabbat candles, Havdalah, Chanukah, Purim, Pesach, Sukkot, Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur. Zmanim for your city, the Hebrew date, Friday's candle-lighting reminder.

ALWAYS FREE
All 100 blessings, complete, to read and say whenever you want. The texts are never charged for.

PREMIUM: THE LIVING APP (USD 2.99/mo, or yearly at ~20% off)
The sky alerts, the suggestion by hour and calendar, your table's seder in one tap, and your counter with your chain. No trial days: the free catalog is the trial, forever.

WHY "BARKAI"
In the Mishnah (Yoma 3:1), "Barkai!" is the call at the Temple at first light: there is enough light to begin. Meah berachot — a hundred blessings a day — is the world's oldest gratitude practice (Menachot 43b). This app exists so the moment does not pass you by.
