Lechem
The names you daven for
The people you carry — the sick, the ones waiting, the ones you promised — kept in one place, in the right form, so you are not reconstructing a name from memory at the wrong moment.
Everybody has a list like this and almost nobody has it written down. It lives in scraps — a WhatsApp message from six weeks ago, a name somebody said to you in shul, a person you have been meaning to have in mind since Pesach.
Lechem gives that list a home. A name with its mother's name, in the form it should be said, held where you will meet it at the moment you are actually davening rather than at the moment you happen to remember.
It handles the awkward parts too: a name you were given wrongly and had to correct, somebody who has recovered, somebody who has not. Removing a name from the list is a real moment and the app does not make it a cheerful one.
This is among the most private material a person keeps. It stays on the phone. Lechem does not upload your list, does not merge it into a communal list, and does not show anybody who is on it. There is no directory of the sick anywhere in this product and there will not be one.
