Lechem
Your routine, set once — and reminders that know when to stay quiet
Tell Lechem what an ordinary day of yours looks like, once. After that it stops asking, and the reminders it does send never land on Shabbos or Yom Tov.
Most of what a person does in a day is the same as yesterday. An app that asks you about it every morning is an app you delete in a fortnight.
So Lechem asks once. You describe an ordinary day — roughly when you daven, whether you learn at a fixed time, what your week looks like — and after that it stops asking and simply behaves accordingly.
The reminders are built around one hard rule: nothing ever fires across candle lighting. A notification whose time would land on Shabbos or Yom Tov is not created at all — not silenced, not delayed, not created. That is inside the scheduler, not in a settings screen you have to find.
A session is simply the stretch of time you are in — a seder, a meal, a davening — and it lets the app understand several things at once instead of asking about each one. And when a day gets away from you completely, there is a screen for filling it in afterwards, honestly, rather than pretending nothing happened.
None of this is gamified. No streaks, no badges, no push notification designed to pull you back into an app. Lechem is meant to be closed most of the day.
