זמני יוסף - R' Ovadia Zmanim 4.6

A zmanim application designed following the teachings of the revered Rabbi Ovadiah Yosef ZT"L and the Yalkut Yosef is now available. The app's calculations are based on the Ohr HaChaim calendar in Israel, a creation of Rabbi Ovadiah himself in 1990 in collaboration with Harav Shlomo Benizri and Harav Asher Darsha, a calendar he adhered to until his passing.

Moreover, users have the option to display zmanim based on the Luach Amudei Horaah devised by Rabbi Leeor Dahan Shlita. The Amudei Horaah calendar, adjusted according to Halacha Berurah and tailored to one's location, is particularly suitable for areas outside of Israel in more northern or southern latitudes.

This app encapsulates a comprehensive Jewish calendar with essential features such as Alot Hashachar/Dawn, Misheyakir, Sunrise, Latest time for Shma (MG"A and GR"A), Latest time for Brachot Shma, Chatzot, Mincha Gedolah, Mincha Ketana, Plag HaMincha, Sunset, Tzait Hacochavim, Rabbeinu tam!, Weekly Parasha, Birchat HeLevana, Birchat HaShemesh, Mashiv Haruach/Morid Hatal, Tachanun, and tracking Daf Yomi / Yerushalmi Yomi cycles.

Additionally, it includes features ensuring precise zmanim calculations alongside a specialized "Shabbat/Chag Mode" for analyzing zmanim during Sabbath and holidays.

The application is open-source with its code available at: GitHub repository. Users are encouraged to suggest additional features through email or contribute directly to the repository.
