## What is Arkaan?

Arkaan is the all-in-one Muslim companion designed for accuracy, privacy, and simplicity. Get precise prayer times, find the Qibla, read daily Quran verses, and place beautiful widgets on your home and lock screen — all without ever needing an internet connection.

PRAYER TIMES
Accurate times for Fajr, Sunrise, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha, calculated using established Islamic methods. Choose from 10 calculation methods including Muslim World League, Egyptian General Authority, ISNA, Umm Al-Qura, and more. Supports both Shafi and Hanafi madhab for Asr timing. Navigate between days to plan ahead, and see a live countdown to your next prayer.

QIBLA COMPASS
Find the direction to the Kaaba from anywhere in the world. Arkaan uses your device's compass sensor and GPS coordinates to calculate a precise bearing to Mecca. The live compass updates in real-time as you turn.

DAILY QURAN
A new verse every day, displayed in beautiful Arabic calligraphy with English translation. All Quran data is embedded in the app — no internet needed. Place a Quran verse widget on your home screen for daily inspiration without opening the app.

HOME & LOCK SCREEN WIDGETS
Multiple widget sizes to fit your home screen: small (next prayer), medium (all prayer times), and large. Lock screen widgets show prayer times, Hijri date, and more — always visible at a glance. Customize widget colors and layouts with Arkaan Pro.

PRAYER NOTIFICATIONS
Get notified at each prayer time. Configure notifications individually per prayer — enable or disable each one, choose your preferred sound. Premium adhan sounds available with Arkaan Pro.

HIJRI CALENDAR
See the Hijri date alongside the Gregorian date, with a manual offset (±3 days) to match regional moon sighting differences.

BILINGUAL
Full support for English and Arabic. The app follows your language preference, and digit formatting (Western 0-9 or Eastern ٠-٩) follows your iPhone's system locale automatically.

PRIVACY FIRST
No accounts required. No ads, ever. No analytics or tracking. Location is processed entirely on-device. Your settings stay on your phone. Arkaan is built with privacy at its foundation.

OFFLINE FIRST
Every core feature works without internet. Prayer times are calculated mathematically on-device. Quran data is embedded. Qibla is pure math. The only optional network request is a one-time city name lookup.
