Not-for-profit
Kavua, in one place.
Unity Through Torah makes free apps for the shiurim people learn every day. Chitas, Rambam, Sefer HaMitzvos, Shnayim Mikra, the chassidishe parsha and Hayom Yom — each one opens on today's, laid out the way you set it. No charge, no ads, and no account needed.
You set it up the way you learn
Everything below is a setting, not a preference we guessed at. Set it once and every shiur follows, or set one sefer differently because that is how you learn it.
Layout
Stacked, two columns, or split screen — and where there are columns, drag the divider and both sides move together. Or Reveal, where the translation sits behind a card until you tap it, opening either over the line or underneath it so the loshon hakodesh stays on screen.
Fonts and sizes
Seven Hebrew fonts — Vilna, SBL, Frank Ruhl, Heilig, Siddur, Hadasah and Noto — and English set separately from Hebrew. Sizes too, and not just one size: Rashi, Onkelos and the nosei keilim each take their own, so the pnim can be large without everything else following it.
Nikud
Taamim, nikud, or plain letters — chosen separately for the pnim, for Rashi and for the nosei keilim. Rashi with nikud while the Chumash carries taamim, if that is what you want.
What shows on the page
Turn Onkelos on or off, Rashi on or off, Rashi in English on or off. Loshon hakodesh only, English only, or both together. On Rambam the nosei keilim sit on the halacha itself, and the meforsh you pick stays picked for the whole perek.
Tanya, three ways
The sefer itself as it is printed, Dvar Malchus, or as text you can resize and lay out like everything else. Pinch to zoom on the printed page.
Tehillim
The Rebbe's kapitel and the Rebbetzin's, each on or off. Your own kapitel from your Hebrew birthday, and your family's — added once and moved up each year on their own.
And across the whole app
Light, dark, or follow the phone
With a separate brightness for the text itself, for learning at night without the screen burning.
Pinch to zoom
On or off, so it does not fight you while you scroll.
The header gets out of the way
It hides as you learn and comes back when you scroll up. Or leave it where it is.
Pin my place
Hold a spot in a shiur so it opens there next time.
What we've built
Where each one actually stands.
Kavua
Chumash with Rashi and Onkelos. Tehillim by day of the month, with the Rebbe's and Rebbetzin's kapitlach and your family's. Tanya — the sefer, Dvar Malchus, or text. Rambam, both three perakim and one perek, with the nosei keilim on each halacha. Sefer HaMitzvos, Shnayim Mikra with the haftorah, Likkutei Torah and Torah Or, and Hayom Yom. Chalukas HaShas when you turn it on.
Every shiur keeps its own layout, fonts, sizes and nikud, and its own place in the sefer. Everything is downloaded ahead, so it works with no internet.
It installs to the home screen from the browser. iPhone and Android apps are being worked on.
The text behind it
One corpus of 491,898 segments, kept in one place and used by everything we build. When a source changes upstream, the difference is put in front of someone before it reaches anyone learning from it. Attribution and licensing conditions stay intact.
Your own cycles
The shiurim above are fixed cycles. Plenty of people learn on a cycle nobody publishes a luach for — a masechta at their own pace, a sefer over a year, whatever a chaburah set for itself.
We're building a way to set your own cycle over any sefer in the corpus and have it open to the right place each day, the same as the fixed shiurim do.
sefor.im
A catalogue of seforim — a bookshelf you can look through by mechaber, publisher, subject, series and edition, to see what exists and how it fits together.
Where a sefer can be read or bought somewhere, we'll point you there. It's a catalogue, not a store.
Nothing to try yet.
Where things stand
Unity Through Torah is new. One app is finished and in use every day, one thing is being built, and one is still just a plan. They're marked above so you can tell which is which.
We don't run ads, we don't charge, and we don't sell anything about the people who use it. We also don't publish numbers or haskamos we don't have.
Getting in touch
A problem with the app, a mistake in a text, or a question about who we are — it all goes through one form and a person reads it.
