## What is Istiqama?

Do you unlock your phone after Fajr and lose 30 minutes to social media before you even make du'a?

Istiqama is a digital wellness companion built for Muslims who want to protect their prayer time and build the habit of consistency — استقامة — on the straight path.

HOW IT WORKS:

At every prayer time, Istiqama automatically blocks the apps that distract you most — Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, or any app you choose. The block lifts the moment you mark your salah as complete.

Between prayers, the Quran is right there waiting for you.

FEATURES:

Prayer-Time Blocking
Automatically shields distracting apps during each salah using Apple's Screen Time. No willpower required.

Read the Quran
Clean, distraction-free reading with multiple translations. Pick up exactly where you left off.

Listen to the Quran
Stream full surahs from world-renowned reciters. Plays in the background while you go about your day.

Prayer Tracker
Track your consistency over time. See your streaks, celebrate your progress, and stay motivated.

Prayer Time Notifications
Get notified at the right moment for every salah, calculated accurately for your location anywhere in the world.

Daily Reflection
A quiet space to pause, reflect, and reconnect with your intention.

BUILT ON TRUST:

Istiqama is completely free and will always be free. No subscription. No ads. No data collection.

If the app has helped you stay consistent with your salah, you can support it through a one-time sadaqah jariyah — a gift that keeps giving, insha'Allah.

"And worship your Lord until there comes to you the certainty." — Quran 15:99

May Allah accept from all of us.
