## What is DhikrLock?

DhikrLock replaces mindless scrolling with a moment of remembrance. Every time you try to open a distracting app, you complete a short dhikr first.

How it Works:
1. Choose the apps that steal your time.
2. DhikrLock uses iOS Screen Time to block them.
3. To unlock, open DhikrLock and complete your dhikr.

The Four Remembrances:
Each session focuses on one of four core phrases:
SubhanAllah (Glory be to Allah)
Alhamdulillah (All praise is for Allah)
Allahu Akbar (Allah is the Greatest)
Astaghfirullah (I seek forgiveness from Allah)

Your Pace, Your Practice:
Choose 7, 10, 33, or 100 repetitions per session. Start small and build up. No pressure, just consistency.

Features:
Screen Time enforced. Apps are truly blocked, not just hidden.
Daily streaks that survive reinstalls. Your account keeps your progress safe across devices.
Per-phrase tracking. See your daily, weekly, and all-time counts.
Standalone counter. Use DhikrLock as a dhikr counter anytime, even without app blocking.
Sign in with Apple or email. Minimum data collected, delete your account anytime.

DhikrLock is not about punishment. It is about building a habit of remembrance. Every time you reach for a distraction, you are given a moment to reconnect.

Built with intention.

Subscription Information:
DhikrLock Pro is an auto-renewable subscription that unlocks unlimited app blocking, full streak tracking, and the standalone dhikr counter.

You turned my biggest problem (too much screen time) into a positive. The constant reminders of Allah throughout my day has had positive impact on my life in more ways than just the Dhikr too. I’m much more punctual with my Salah’s also. Kudos to the creator of DhikrLock for using initiative and creating a simple solution to a common problem.

Literally everything you need to start good habits, its helped me be on my phone less, and even when I feel like using my socials there’s a benefit of worship so I’m not completely wasting my time, highly recommend, can’t wait for future updates, the widget feature is amazing!!

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.3.0 — 2026-06-10

A calmer, clearer DhikrLock.

• Choose how long each unlock lasts: 15, 30, 45 or 60 minutes
• Duas, adhkar and challenges now share one clean reading design, built around the Arabic
• Your journal speaks calendar now: real weeks (Mon to Sun) and real months
• Morning and evening adhkar follow your local prayer times
• The same dhikr said different ways now counts as one in your journal
• A gentler onboarding that lets you feel the lock loop before any permissions

Screen time is now earned only by unlocking a blocked app. Voluntary dhikr, challenges and adhkar are counted and celebrated as worship in their own right.

· Daily challenges: a fresh, curated challenge every day, with Friday Salawat baked in.

· Morning and Evening, all day: the cards now stay visible from morning to night, switching between Active, Completed, and Upcoming so you always know where you stand.

· Kinder, smarter notifications: name-aware reminders, milestone celebrations, a Friday Salawat nudge, and a gentle weekly recap on Sundays.
