A private, personal luach for taharas hamishpacha: it keeps the dates you record, calculates the dates that follow from them according to your minhag and your Rav’s rules, and explains each one. It also has reminders, a mikvah directory and learning. It is in development and not yet approved for halachic use.

A calendar (luach) a married woman keeps to follow her cycle according to halacha: the day a period began, the hefsek tahara, the seven clean days, the mikvah night, and the days to be watchful for the next period (vesasos and onos). The rules differ by minhag, so many women keep the luach with a Rav’s guidance.

You record what happened (for example, when a period began or the hefsek tahara); the app counts the following dates for you, shows them on a Hebrew and civil calendar, reminds you when they come and explains how each one was worked out. It does not decide halachic questions.

In development. The calculation rules have not yet been reviewed and approved by a Rav, so the app must not be relied on for halachic decisions. Details are on the development status page.

Testing is by invitation. Write to luachbracha@gmail.com to ask; do not include personal or halachic details.

Which shitta to follow, your personal rules, and any question about a specific date or sighting. The app explains its calculations so you can show them to your Rav; it never replaces asking.
