Everything a candle-lighting reminds you to do
Built for the moment you light candles — and for the quiet hours after, until Havdalah.
Automatic Shabbat times
Candle-lighting time is fetched from HebCal based on your GPS location — no lookup required.
Manual time option
Prefer not to share location? Set a fixed Friday time yourself instead.
5 candle themes
Classic, Golden Shabbat, Midnight, Jerusalem Stone, and Rose Quartz — pick your mood.
4 candle shapes
Classic, Pillar, Taper, or Votive — choose the silhouette you like best.
5 flame styles
From a calm Classic flicker to a wild Dancing flame, plus an optional realistic gradient mode.
Configurable duration
Candles burn anywhere from 5 minutes to 24 hours — set it once in Settings.
Real Havdalah timing
After the candles finish, melted stubs remain until the real Havdalah time for your location.
Auto-close when done
Optionally exits the app after burn-out so your phone can auto-lock, undisturbed.
Five scenes, one warm ritual
Every theme restyles the background, candle wax, holder, and flame glow together.

Time is fetched
On launch the app looks up this week's candle-lighting time from HebCal using your location, or your manual setting.
Candles light
Right at candle-lighting time, two animated candles appear and begin to flicker and burn down.
They burn out
After your configured duration, melted stubs remain on screen with a "Shavua Tov" message.
Havdalah & reset
Once the real Havdalah time passes, the app returns to a countdown for next week's lighting.

Good to know
Do I need to open the app myself every Friday?
No — Android lets you schedule the app to open automatically at candle-lighting time using built-in tools like Samsung Bixby Routines, Xiaomi Scheduled Tasks, or the free MacroDroid app. The app then lights the candles the instant it opens.
Does it work without an internet connection?
The candle-lighting time is fetched once and cached for 24 hours, so a brief connection on Friday is enough. Manual time mode needs no internet at all.
Does the app need my exact location?
Location is only used to calculate your local candle-lighting and Havdalah times via HebCal — it's never stored or shared. You can skip it entirely and enter a time manually.
Can I turn the candles off early?
Yes — an optional "Turn Off" button (with a confirmation dialog) lets you extinguish the candles before the configured duration ends.
