Jewish Date Menu Bar
macOS / Références
Jewish Date lives in your menu bar and keeps today’s Hebrew date one glance away—then opens into a clear panel when you need more context.
At a glance
See the halakhic Hebrew day in the bar (after local nightfall), with optional English or Hebrew in the panel.
Inside the panel
• Torah portion (parsha) and Daf Yomi
• Sefirat haOmer during the counting
• Candle lighting and havdalah using your location and a Gra-style tzeit (about 8.5° solar depression)—handy as a reminder, not a substitute for your community’s times
• Holidays today and a “Coming up” list of notable days ahead
Hebrew month calendar
A compact month grid with previous / today / next month controls, markers on special days, and tap a day for a short summary of that day’s events.
Settings
Open Settings from the panel, choose Launch at login if you like, and use About for version notes and support.
Jewish Date is a practical desk companion: fast, readable, and respectful of the fact that halakhic details vary—always confirm critical times and dates with your rabbi or congregation.
Quoi de neuf dans la dernière version ?
• Richer menu bar panel — Hebrew and civil dates (with weekday), weekly Torah portion, Daf Yomi, Sefirat haOmer when applicable, candle-lighting and havdalah times, today’s holidays, and a “Coming up” list of notable days ahead.
• Interactive Hebrew month calendar — browse previous / today / next Hebrew month, see event markers on days, tap a day for a compact summary (holidays, readings, Omer when relevant).
• Location-aware times — uses your location (with permission) for more accurate zmanim-style candle and havdalah hints and Israel/Diaspora holiday logic where it applies.
• Smarter window sizing — the popover grows to fit your content when there’s room, scrolls when it doesn’t, and respects each display so it stays on-screen on smaller external monitors.
• Settings & polish — streamlined access to Settings from the panel, optional open at login, clearer About (scrollable notes and a tappable support email), and a refreshed app icon.
