Know the moment it's up
Checks every few minutes and pops up a notification as soon as today's shiur is posted — with a button straight to it.
For the MDY Daf Yomi shiur
Never miss
Never miss
the daf.
A small Windows app that tells you the moment today's shiur is up, reminds you until you've done it, and keeps a calendar of every daf you learn.
Watches for today's shiur on
- MDY
- YouTube
- TorahAnytime
- AllDaf
Everything in one small window
Built around your daily daf
One click on the tray icon opens it. Everything else happens quietly in the background.
Join the live shiur
See when the next live shiur starts in your own time zone, with one-click Zoom and YouTube links.
Reminders, your way
Up to eight reminders after the video comes out, optional repeats, and a time after which it stays quiet for the night.
A calendar of every daf
Tick off each day, fill in ones you learned earlier, and pull in everything you've marked as watched on MDY.
Progress at a glance
The tray icon is red until the video's out, black with a pulsing red dot while it waits for you, and green once you're done.
Light and private
Starts with Windows, sits in the tray and rests once you're done for the day. Your MDY login never leaves your PC.
At a glance
One look at your taskbar
No need to open anything. The little logo next to the clock tells you exactly where you stand today.

Questions
Good to know
Chrome blocked the download — what do I do?
Chrome blocks files it hasn't seen many people download. Daf Yomi Bot is a small independent app, so this is expected; it doesn't mean the file is unsafe. Open Chrome's downloads (the arrow at the top right, or Ctrl+J), click the ⋮ next to DafYomiBot-Setup-1.4.0.exe, then choose Keep and Keep anyway. Then open the file. If Windows shows a blue “Windows protected your PC” box, click More info and then Run anyway. In Edge the steps are ⋯ → Keep → Show more → Keep anyway. Firefox doesn't block it.
Why does Windows show a warning when I open it?
Daf Yomi Bot is a small independent app that isn't signed with a paid Microsoft certificate, so Windows SmartScreen doesn't recognise it yet. Click More info, then Run anyway. You only need to do this once.
What do I need?
A Windows 10 or 11 PC (64-bit). Everything else comes in the installer. It uses Microsoft Edge WebView2, which is already part of Windows 11 and up-to-date Windows 10 PCs.
Does it need my MDY login?
No — it works without one. Adding your MDY email and password in Settings lets the bot notice when you've marked the daf as watched and sync your calendar. Your login is saved only on your PC.
Will it slow my computer down?
No. It checks every few minutes while waiting for the shiur, and once you're done for the day it goes idle until the next daf.
How do I remove it?
Either way removes the app, its automatic startup, settings, logs and saved MDY login:
From Windows: open Settings → Apps → Installed apps, find Daf Yomi Bot, click ⋯ and choose Uninstall.
From the bot: open it, go to Settings, scroll to the bottom and click Uninstall app.
Installed an older version and it isn't in either place? Right-click the tray icon and choose Exit, then delete the folders %LocalAppData%\DafYomiBot and %AppData%\DafYomiBot.
Is there a Mac or phone version?
Not at the moment — Daf Yomi Bot is a Windows app.
