The app opens on the day’s portion — and the day turns at nightfall
Chitas, Tanya, Rambam, the Daf, Halakhah Yomit in the Shulchan Aruch, Kitzur Shulchan Aruch Yomi — every daily cycle in MyRabbi opens on today’s portion the moment you open the app, with a date bar to step back a day, forward a day, or return to today. And “today” is the Jewish day: after nightfall the page turns to tomorrow’s portion, because that is the day it is.

the day turns at nightfall
A published calendar, never a calculation
Which se’ifim belong to today is a fact somebody decided. The app fetches the day’s assignment from the calendar that publishes it (Hebcal for the Chabad cycles and the Kitzur, Sefaria for Halakhah Yomit) and serves the text from its own copy of the sefer. A computed schedule puts a learner on the wrong halacha and looks right doing it.
The day begins at sunset
Once the app knows where you are, the date rolls at nightfall by your own sky. Until then it says so and uses midnight, rather than guessing a horizon.
A day that crosses a siman is drawn as two
Kitzur 209:7 – 210:end shows siman 209 from se’if ז and then siman 210 from א, each under its own heading, with the se’if numbers continuing as printed.
A missed day can be made up as it stands
Step the date back and yesterday’s portion opens exactly as it was assigned — not an approximation from where you left off.
Who it's for — For anyone on a daily cycle who wants to open the sefer and read, not find the place — and for a family that learns after Maariv and should not be shown yesterday. Plus and up for the seforim; the schedules themselves are always shown.
One toggle on the reader's toolbar, and it follows you from the Siddur to the Kitzur.
