OTHER PRAYER APPS SEND NOTIFICATIONS. ASR BLOCKS YOUR APPS. You've tried the reminders. You've set the alarms. You still find yourself scrolling when you should be praying. Asr is different. When prayer time arrives, your distracting apps are blocked—not hidden, not muted, actually blocked using iOS Screen Time. No willpower required. Your phone won't stand between you and Allah anymore. ----------------------------------- HOW IT WORKS 1. Choose which apps distract you most 2. Set your buffer time (get a few minutes warning) 3. When salah begins, those apps are blocked 4. Pray. Then your apps unlock. That's it. Simple. Effective. Life-changing. ----------------------------------- REAL APP BLOCKING • Uses iOS Screen Time—not just reminders you'll ignore • Select exactly which apps to block • Customize blocking delay for each prayer • Special Fajr handling (unblock at sunrise or wait until Dhuhr) ACCURATE PRAYER TIMES • Automatic location-based calculations • Multiple Islamic calculation methods • Clean, focused interface LOCK SCREEN & WIDGETS • Live Activities show prayer countdowns • Home screen widgets for quick access • Always know when salah is coming TRACK YOUR SALAH • Mark prayers: on time, late, or missed • See your prayer history • Build real consistency ----------------------------------- NO ADS. NO CLUTTER. NO COMPROMISE. Asr doesn't try to be everything. Just prayer times and the discipline to honor them. We believe your salah deserves focused tools, not another bloated app fighting for your attention. ----------------------------------- ACCESSIBLE TO ALL Asr is a paid app—but we believe financial circumstances should never be a barrier to practicing your deen. If you cannot afford a subscription, reach out and we'll provide free access. No questions asked. ----------------------------------- The Sahaba dropped everything for salah. Your phone can too. Download Asr and start praying on time. ----------------------------------- EULA: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy: https://www.getasr.com/privacy ## Key features - Blocks distracting apps during prayer - Uses iOS Screen Time for app blocking - Customizable blocking delay per prayer - Accurate, location-based prayer times - Prayer tracking and history - Live Activities and home screen widgets ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: Free. **Subscriptions** | Subscription | Price | Period | | --- | --- | --- | | All access | $39.99 | per year | | All access | $4.99 | per month | | All access | $6.99 | per month | | All access | $39.99 | per year | **One-time purchases** | Purchase | Price | Type | | --- | --- | --- | | All access lifetime | $69.99 | one-time | | All access lifetime | $49.99 | one-time | ## Recent user reviews (10 of 36) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/asr-pause-at-prayer-time/id6754262632/reviews.md ### 5/5 — Wafi🌙 *2026-05-04, version 1.7.1* It is amazing and it helped me alot Alx ### 5/5 — Brilliant idea *2026-04-29, version 1.7.1* It really is a great motivator to get up and get your salah done when you don’t have access to doom scrolling or telling yourself you’re just going to finish this one last task before you get up; but then you go off on five other tangents and before you know it so much time has passed.
