Urtesi

Urtësi is a calm, private Islamic companion: the Quran, authentic hadith, prayer times, dhikr and study, in one app with no account and no advertising.

FULLY BILINGUAL Every screen, and every word of content, reads in English or Albanian, and you can switch at any time. Scripture, hadith, duas, name meanings and salah recitations are never machine-translated: each one is taken from a published source and checked against it, verse by verse.

PRAYER TIMES WORLDWIDE Prayer times for any city on earth, from a bundled database of more than 31,000 places. Urtësi picks the calculation method your country actually prays by and names it openly, so you always know what you are looking at. Choose the Hanafi or standard Asr, a high-latitude rule for northern summers, and per-prayer minute adjustments to match your local mosque. Official timetables are used where they exist: the Muslim Community of Albania for Albanian cities, and MUIS for Singapore. Calculated times work with no connection at all.

ON YOUR HOME SCREEN A home-screen widget counts down to the next prayer, and a Live Activity keeps that countdown on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. Optional reminders cover each prayer, a hadith each day and the white-day fasts. Every one of them is scheduled on your device.

THE QURAN The complete Arabic text with an English or Albanian translation beside it, footnotes included. Save verses, resume exactly where you stopped, set the Arabic to a size you can read comfortably, and listen to a choice of reciters with a player that keeps going while you read something else.

HADITH AND STUDY Sahih al-Bukhari in full, the Forty Hadith of Imam al-Nawawi with a forty-day programme to work through them, selected hadith gathered by theme, the 99 Names of Allah, the duas of the Quran and the Sunnah, and the stories of the prophets told as journeys you read from beginning to end. Search runs across the whole library, and anything worth returning to can be saved.

QIBLA AND MOSQUES A compass that points to the Kaaba from wherever you stand, and a mosque search that opens directions, a phone number or a website when they are published.

LEARN THE PRAYER Step-by-step guides to wudu and to each of the five prayers: the movements, the recitations in Arabic with transliteration and meaning, and a focus mode that counts your rakat while the phone rests.

DHIKR AND DAILY RHYTHM A tasbih counter with haptic feedback and guided dhikr sets. A daily plan, a personal vird, a hijri calendar, a place to think through a decision, and quiet statistics that show your own consistency and nothing else.

MAKE IT YOURS A night theme and a day theme, six accent palettes that recolour the whole app and its home-screen icon, adjustable text and Arabic sizes, VoiceOver labels throughout, and a reduced-motion setting the app genuinely respects.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no advertising, no social feed, no subscription and no in-app purchase. What you save and what you set stays on your device, and you can export all of it as a file you keep. Location is used only for what you ask for: Apple Maps handles mosque searches, and an Albanian city and date go to the official Albanian timetable service. Nothing is used to track you, and nothing is sold.

Prayer times differ between recognised calculation methods and local authorities. Where your trusted local mosque differs, follow your mosque.
