Your shul's davening times, on every screen

Make your shul's own board in a few minutes - for the screen in shul, your website and everyone's phone. The zmanim work themselves out every day, all year. Free, no code, no sign-up.

1. Tell us your shulIts name and postcode. That is how Amud knows the right zmanim.
2. Your davening timesFixed times, or worked out from a zman: "Mincha 15 minutes before shkia".
3. Make it look yoursColours, sizes and layout - and you see it change as you go.

Start from another shul's board

Like how another shul set theirs up? Type their link and start from a copy of it. You change the name, the postcode and anything else - their board is not touched.

Boards made on this device

Change a board you made

Open the private edit link you were given when you made it - or paste it here. Links from the older page (getamud.com/api/?shul=...) work too.

I only have the edit key

Lost it? Amud never sees the edit key, but it can send a new one once it has checked with the contact saved with the board: message us at getamud.com/lost. Please do not make a second board for the same shul.

You are changing a saved board. Nothing changes on the screens until you press Save changes.

Your shul

Candle lighting and more

Weekday davening times

Add each minyan. A time can be fixed, or worked out from any zman - and rounded up or down. Add a separate line for special days (for example Sunday, or Rosh Chodesh): the more particular line wins on its day.

We have put in a typical week to start you off. Change the times to your shul's own, remove what you do not need, and add the rest.

Shabbos times

Erev Shabbos and Shabbos. Again, fixed or from a zman, with rounding.

What to show

Writing comes out upside down?

Candle lighting, fast times, Shabbos and Yom Tov ending and chometz times always show on the day they apply.

Put the posters beside the times, above or below them, under How it looks, then Layout.

How it looks

The screen in shul

Soft panels round a big clock, never a long table. Pick a scene and a layout - press "Shul screen" over the preview to see it. A tall screen gets a tall layout by itself.

Your own colours below (the accent, the writing, the page) also colour the screen. The rest of this page is for the board on phones, websites and the printed sheet.

Your own colours

Different colours for each part

The Hebrew davening changes

Special-day tags

Writing

The boxes

Clock and dates

Layout

    Corners, lines, spacing and width
    Logo, a line under the name, background picture
    Your own words for headings and zmanim

    Leave empty to keep Amud's words.

    Save your board

    Have a last look at the preview. When you save, your board gets its own link, and every screen showing it updates by itself.

    In case you ever lose the edit link

    Only Amud sees this - it is never on the board. If the edit link is ever lost, message us at getamud.com/lost: we check with this person and send a new one.

    Remove this board

    Takes the board off every screen for good.

    Updating...
    This is a live preview. Nothing is saved yet.

    Your board is ready

    This link always shows the right times. You never need to update it.

    Your private edit link - keep it safe

    This link is the only way to change your board later. Anyone who has it can change it, so do not share it. Amud does not keep a copy. If it is ever lost, message us at getamud.com/lost - we check with the person you gave and send a new one.

    It is also remembered on this device, under "Boards made on this device".

    The screen in shul

    1. On the screen's web browser, open this link:
    1. Make the browser full screen. The board fills the screen, shows the time, and moves on by itself every day and every week.

    What it shows - the shul screen, your board, the week then Shabbos, or both in turn - and whether the screen is landscape or portrait are set in "What to show". Change them any time; the screen's link stays the same, and it picks up your changes within a few minutes.

    Everyone's phone

    Scan this, or send people the link. On the board, press Share then Add to Home Screen - it then opens like an app.

    QR code for the board

    Your shul's website

    Give this line to whoever looks after the website. They paste it where the times should go.

    A sheet to print

    One A4 page of the week (or of Shabbos), with your QR code in the corner - for the shul noticeboard.

    The WhatsApp group

    A ready message of this Shabbos's or this week's times, made fresh from your board. Bookmark the page and send it each week in two taps.

    Other boards

    Your link opens the board you chose. These always open one board:
