## What is Nafs?

Salah time arrives. You tell yourself just five more minutes. The scroll does not stop. You look up, and the prayer has passed.
                                                                                                                                                       
  Nafs fixes this quietly. Your chosen apps block automatically at every adhan, lift when salah time passes, and never ask you to do a thing.
                                                                                                                                                       
  Salah asks for 25 minutes a day. 152 hours of ibadah a year. Nafs protects every one of them.                                                        
                                                                                                                                                       
  WHAT NAFS DOES

  Beyond prayers, block apps anytime. Whether you are studying, reading Quran, or just need a break from the screen.                                   
   
  Block for 15 minutes, 30 minutes, an hour, or more. You are in control.
