HolyClock is a free service for closing websites on Shabbat and Holidays. The closing occurs before Shabbat enters, for each visitor individually, based on their physical location in the world at the given time.

With HolyClock you can prevent desecration of Shabbat by visitors of your website. A visitor who is located where Shabbat has begun, is redirected to a temporary closing page until Shabbat ends.

Why close websites on Shabbat?

As an observant website owner, it is important for you to prevent Shabbat desecration by your fruit of labor.

Also, you are aware that making profit on Shabbat is forbidden, either by displaying ads or selling services on your website.

Your observant customers will honor you for keeping Shabbat, and remain loyal to your business.

Does it cost money?

The service is provided for free! We believe that money should not be charged for observing Shabbat.

In addition, we offer a Premium plan for website owners who require more control over the closing process, which includes advanced features.
