nida — prayer times & athan

I couldn't find a prayer app I trusted. So I built one.

I tried a dozen. Gambling ads between Quran pages. GPS data sold to
US military-linked brokers. A $35/year paywall before I could even
see prayer times. I wanted one thing — know when to pray, with respect.

nida is the app I built instead.

WHAT NIDA DOES

◆ Accurate prayer times — Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, Isha, calculated
on your device. Offline. No server. No account.

◆ Athan that actually fires — on-time notification, every prayer,
even in background. No ad interruption. Ever.

◆ Qibla compass — direction to Mecca, always available offline.

◆ Fiqh transparency — choose your calculation method (ISNA, MWL,
Umm al-Qura, Diyanet...) and understand why it exists. Asr: Shafi'i
or Hanafi — you choose, we explain.

◆ Mosque offset — adjust prayer times per-prayer to match your local
mosque. No other app offers this.

◆ 100% offline — no account required. Nothing leaves your phone.

WHAT NIDA DOESN'T DO

✗ No ads — ever, anywhere, including your prayer screen
✗ No feature bloat — prayer times, athan, qibla. That's it.
✗ No tracking, no analytics, no data collection
✗ No shame notifications ("you missed 3 prayers")
✗ No paywall — prayer times are free. Forever.

WHY NIDA IS DIFFERENT

In 2020, Muslim Pro sold location data of 100M+ Muslims to
US military-linked brokers. Prayer apps became ad platforms
disguised as spiritual tools.

nida starts from the opposite: your ibadah is not ours to monetize.
Every prayer you make, every time you check the next salat — those
moments belong to you and Allah. Not to an ad network.

Free. No ads. Forever.
