## What is Muqeem?

Muqeem: Prayer Accountability

Your phone locks. You pray. It unlocks. That's it.

Muqeem is the only prayer app that puts real teeth behind accountability — when a prayer's time arrives, the apps that pull your attention (social media, games, whatever you choose) lock instantly. No grace period, no snooze. They stay locked until you scan your registered prayer mat and take the oath.

HOW IT WORKS
Register your prayer mat once using your camera — Muqeem recognizes it every time using on-device computer vision. Your mat photo never leaves your phone. Scan it at prayer time, and your chosen apps unlock immediately.

FEATURES

• App Blocking — Shield any apps you choose. They lock the second a prayer's window opens, and stay locked until you verify.

• Fajr Alarm — A relentless 25-alarm chain rings for a full hour through silent mode and Do Not Disturb. Only scanning your pre-registered wake target (your sink, your door) stops it for good.

• Mat Library — Register every mat you actually use — home, masjid, office, a friend's place — so verification travels with you.

• Travel Mode & Location Awareness — Automatically pauses locking and the Fajr alarm when you're away from your saved locations, and resumes when you're back.

• Qada Tracking — Log missed prayers with one tap and keep a running count of what's still owed, separate from your streak.

• Ramadan Mode — Suhoor and Iftar countdowns, Taraweeh tracking, a fasting log, and a Quran pace calculated to finish by Eid.

• Quran Reader — Full Mushaf with tafsir, reflection notes, and a level-up system that rewards consistent reading.

• Daily Hadith — Authentic hadith from Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim, organized by topic, that you can save and revisit.

• Duas Library — A curated collection for everyday moments.

• Honest Streaks — Your streak grid shows partial days honestly instead of punishing you, and a dedicated freeze mode handles the days prayer genuinely isn't possible — with dignity, not judgment.

YOUR PRIVACY, PROTECTED
Every mat scan is processed entirely on your device. Your photos, prayer history, and location never touch our servers. Screen Time's own framework means we never see which apps you've chosen to shield or how you use them.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 0.1.6 — 2026-10-21

Faster, smoother, and more reliable — here's what's new in 0.1.6:

• Opens much faster. Muqeem now launches in a couple of seconds instead of keeping you on the loading screen.

• Prayer-time lock that responds instantly. When your apps are locked, the lock screen now appears once the app is ready, so the Start button works on the first tap.

• A calmer Fajr alarm. Tapping the alarm button on your lock screen now stops that ring, so you no longer hear two alarms playing at once. The screen also stays awake while the alarm is ringing, so it won't go quiet.

• Travel Mode turns off when you get home. With Location Awareness set to Auto, returning to your saved place now reliably ends Travel Mode, even if you open the app as soon as you arrive.

• A more satisfying tasbeeh. The post-prayer dhikr screen has been redesigned: tap anywhere on the card, feel each count, and see the meaning of each dhikr while you count.

• Cleaner look throughout. Clearer status bar, full-width reading in the Quran, onboarding text that no longer gets cut off, and an accurate status on the Block tab.

• "Menstrual Freeze" is now called "Cycle Pause".

### 0.1.4 — 2026-09-29

What's New in 0.1.4

More reliable
- Your settings now stay put. Fixed an issue where Location Awareness, Travel Mode, or prayer times could reset on their own.
- App locking is more dependable and no longer locks at the wrong time.
- The Fajr alarm keeps ringing through the whole wake-up challenge.

Prayers & streaks
- Fajr's window now closes at sunrise.
- Prayed late? Logging a late prayer still counts toward your streak, and you can undo a prayer you logged by mistake.

Masjid Library & Travel Mode
- Adding a masjid is quicker, and arriving a little early now counts.
- Travel Mode turns on and off more accurately when you leave or return.
- A clear heads-up if location access isn't set to "Always", which these features need.

Design
- A cleaner Home screen with a subtle divider between today's prayers and your trackers.
- Your Juz journey and milestones now live on the Reading Levels page.

Thank you for using Muqeem. May Allah accept your prayers.

### 0.1.3 — 2026-09-15

NEW: Masjid Library
Register a masjid you regularly pray at, and Muqeem can now detect when
you're there and mark your prayer done automatically — no need to open
the app. Add one from Settings → Masjid Library while you're standing
inside it.

Also in this update:
- Fixed an issue where a saved masjid could disappear after closing the app
- Fixed masjid detection not recognizing you were already inside when
  you added it
- Improved background reliability so detection keeps working even if
  you don't have Muqeem open

### 0.1.2 — 2026-09-14

What's New in 0.1.2

• New Fajr wake-up option: Walk Steps — take 25 steps to stop the alarm instead of scanning your wake target. Pick whichever challenge works best for you in the Alarm tab.

• New Analytics page — see your prayer trends by day, week, month, or year (or pick a custom date range), plus a per-prayer completion breakdown. Find it from the Streak tab.

• Smoother Fajr alarm experience with improved reliability and a few visual polish fixes.
