עמוד A free siddur app

The siddur that knows what day it is.

Amud is a siddur for your phone and computer that shows each day's davening the way it's said, with Ya'aleh VeYavo, Hallel, Tachanun and the Omer in their place. Zmanim, a Jewish calendar, Tehillim and daily learning come with it. Free, offline, in Hebrew and English.

A siddur that follows the calendar

Open it and daven. Amud already checked the date.

On Rosh Chodesh you see Ya'aleh VeYavo and Hallel; on a day without Tachanun, Tachanun steps aside. Amud works out the Hebrew date from your location and the time of day, then shows or hides each addition for Shacharis, Mincha and Maariv.

  • Today's davening, in order: Shacharis through the bedtime Shema, with Musaf, Hallel, Lulav or the day's Hoshana where they belong.
  • Seasonal changes handled: Mashiv HaRuach, Tal U'Matar, Aseret Yemei Teshuvah, Al HaNissim, Aneinu and Nachem.
  • Short halachic notes only when they apply, like "Say Ya'aleh VeYavo" on Rosh Chodesh.

Everything in one app

More than a siddur

Amud brings together what you reach for during the day, with nothing to sign up for and nothing that needs a connection.

Siddur in every nusach

Ashkenaz, Sefard, Edot HaMizrach and Chabad, in Hebrew with English side by side or interleaved. Choose from about 40 Hebrew fonts, with or without nikud and trop.

Zmanim with alerts

Alos, sof zman Shema, chatzos, shkiah and tzeis for where you are, by the GRA, Magen Avraham or Baal HaTanya. Set a reminder before any zman, or add your own.

Jewish calendar

A luach with Hebrew dates, holidays, the parsha, candle lighting, havdalah and the Omer. Israel and chutz la'aretz schedules both.

Torah learning

Download the Kitzur Shulchan Aruch in Hebrew and English once, then learn offline with today's Kitzur Yomi marked. Daf Yomi, Mishna Yomi and Rambam are listed daily.

Tehillim

The day's portion by the month or the week, Shir shel Yom, and your place saved as you go.

A home screen you arrange

Cards for the Hebrew date, the next zman, candle lighting, quick prayers like Birkas HaMazon and Tefillas HaDerech, and a nearby minyan. Move and resize them.

Switching siddurim

Used to an ArtScroll siddur?

Many people daven from an ArtScroll siddur and look for the same thing on their phone. Amud isn't ArtScroll and doesn't include its text or translation, but a lot will feel familiar, and some things work differently.

What feels familiar

The order of davening in Nusach Ashkenaz or Sefard, Hebrew facing English, clear section titles, and instructions for what to add on special days.

What's different

Nothing to flip to: the day's additions appear in place, and what isn't said is folded away. Amud is free, works offline, and includes zmanim, a calendar and Tehillim alongside the siddur.

Amud's siddurim and translations come from Sefaria, under each version's license. ArtScroll is a trademark of Mesorah Publications, Ltd. Amud isn't affiliated with or endorsed by ArtScroll or Mesorah.

Questions

Frequently asked

Is Amud free?

Yes. Amud is free, has no ads and needs no account.

Is Amud the ArtScroll siddur?

No. Amud is not affiliated with ArtScroll or Mesorah Publications and doesn't include the ArtScroll text or translation. Its siddurim and translations come from Sefaria, under each version's license. If you're used to an ArtScroll siddur, you'll find the same order of davening in Nusach Ashkenaz or Sefard, with Hebrew and English side by side.

Which nusach does Amud have?

Nusach Ashkenaz, Nusach Sefard, Edot HaMizrach and Chabad, with a choice of Hebrew versions and English translations for each.

Does it work without internet?

Every siddur, font and rule ships with the app, and zmanim are calculated on your device, so davening works with no connection. Books in the Torah tab are a one-time download.

What does "amud" mean?

An amud (עמוד) is the stand the chazzan davens from, and also a pillar and a page. The logo is an open siddur resting on one.

Is there an iPhone app?

Use the web app: open amud.page/app in Safari, tap Share, then Add to Home Screen. It installs like an app and works offline.
