Salat&Yaqeen: Prayer Times

The time, the direction, and the count. Three things, one app — and all of it stays on your phone.

No account to create, no ads, no data collected. Your location never leaves the device.

THE TIMES Computed on the device, anywhere in the world. You pick your calculation method. For 'Aṣr both schools are there — Shāfi'ī or Ḥanafī: set yours, and the time follows. High latitudes have their own rule. A countdown to the next prayer, and the day's times in front of you.

THE DIRECTION The qibla on a compass, computed along the great circle: the real shortest path across the globe, not the straight line on a flat map. The bearing in degrees from North, and the distance to Mecca. When the compass cannot be trusted, the app says so instead of pretending.

THE COUNTER Lay the phone flat on the mat, between your knees and your forehead. The depth radar counts your sujūd without you ever touching the screen. Two sujūd = one rak'ah. At the end, a report: what was seen, and what wasn't. When the sensor followed nothing, it says so — the clock carried the prayer. It never rules on whether your prayer was valid: it counts, that is all.

The camera measures distances and the tilt of your head, in memory. Nothing is recorded, nothing leaves the device.

SEATED Declare your condition in the settings — seated or bedbound — and the mode changes: stand the phone up facing you, on a chair, an armchair or a bed, and the sujūd is read from the tilt of your head. Your prayer is counted too.

THE FIVE OF THE DAY A checklist and a bar for today. No streak to keep alive, no score. A marker for you, never a judgement.

THE REMINDERS A notification at every prayer, and you choose which ones ring, carrying the sky of that hour as an image. And if you want it, a preparation reminder a few minutes ahead: time for wuḍū', or to walk to the mosque. Supererogatory prayers have their own separate reminders. In this version it is a discreet iOS notification with the system sound: no muezzin voice is bundled, downloaded or imported.

FASTING The fast of Dāwūd (one day on, one day off), Mondays and Thursdays, the white days, 'Āshūrā', Tāsū'ā', 'Arafah. Reminders reach you the evening before, at the real maghrib time. In Dāwūd, the day without fasting is expected: it does not break your run. The days when fasting is forbidden — the two Eids and the days of Tashrīq — are never suggested to you. That is a limit, not a setting.

THE HIJRI DATE The Umm al-Qura hijri day under the times, with the days that count: Ramaḍān and its last ten nights, 'Arafah, the two Eids, 'Āshūrā'. During Ramaḍān, the times of suḥūr and ifṭār.

WIDGETS AND THE WATCH Next prayer on the Home Screen and the Lock Screen, plus a "verse of the day" widget. On Apple Watch: the times on your wrist, the next prayer as a complication, starting the prayer from your wrist, and the sujūd count live during the prayer.

OFFLINE Everything is computed on the device. In airplane mode, the app still works.

WHAT IT DOES NOT DO It does not pray for you. It gives the time, the direction and the count. The rest is between you and your Lord.
