Omer is now on the App Store

Omer, a personal journal for the counting of the Omer, is now available for iPhone and iPad. It is free.

Omer accompanies Sefirat HaOmer, the 49 days from Pesach to Shavuot. Each day pairs two sefirot, such as Chesed of Netzach: loving-kindness within endurance. Omer helps you attend to that day's pairing with a short morning intention and an evening reflection.

Why another Omer app?

There are many good apps that count the Omer. This one is built for something else: it is a personal journal. Omer helps you map your own psychospiritual journey through the 49 sefirot, day by day and year after year. The count is where it starts, not where it ends.

That is why privacy comes first. What you write about your inner life stays on your device. There is no account, no analytics, and no server that ever sees it.

Each day links to Simon Jacobson's meditation for that day's sefirah in his Spiritual Guide to the Counting of the Omer, hosted on Chabad.org, so you can read it before you write. Next to it you see where you stand in the year: the Hebrew date, the holidays and the weekly parsha. And SeferAI is one tap away for studying the sources behind the day. Having all of this in one place serves one aim: to help you draw the most meaningful personal insight from each step through the 49 sefirot.

What it does

• Shows the day's pairing, with sources from the Jewish textual tradition
• Keeps your morning intention and evening reflection privately on your device
• Links to the day's meditation in Simon Jacobson's Spiritual Guide to the Counting of the Omer on Chabad.org
• Shows the whole 49-day journey at a glance, and compares your cycles across years
• Runs 49-day cycles all year round, not only during the Omer season
• Includes the Hebrew calendar, holidays and the weekly parsha
• Reminds you at sundown, computed on your device, and offers Home Screen widgets
• Offers optional AI readings with your own Anthropic, OpenAI or Google API key

Private by design. Omer has no accounts, no analytics and no servers. Your journal never leaves your device.

Works with SeferAI. Omer is for the inner practice; SeferAI is for the learning around it. From any day in Omer, "Explore in SeferAI" opens SeferAI with a question about that day's pairing. When you have both apps, SeferAI shows the day of your count and takes you back to Omer to reflect. Each app works fully on its own.

Two short videos, an introduction and a how-to, are on the Omer page: https://seferai.org/omer
