What's New in Prayer Pause

1.6.6

September 16, 2026

NEW: Focus Sessions. Start a timed shield whenever you want, free. Pick an environment, collect stickers as you go, and follow it from the Live Activity or the new home screen widget. IMPROVED: Salah Focus runs window to window. Blocking now lasts until the prayer window closes instead of a fixed stretch, and Isha carries through to Fajr. IMPROVED: Simpler blockers and rules. Creating a blocker asks what kind first, presets get a real time window, and Allowed Apps has its own page. FIXED: Bug fixes and reliability. Smoother upgrades from older versions, fuller Arabic and Urdu on the Prayer tab, and general stability.

Wa iyyakum, and jazak Allahu khairan for taking the time to write this. Glad it is on your Mac now as well as your phone, that was the whole point of bringing it over. May Allah accept your salah and keep it easy on you.

Menu bar salah

I love that I can see the prayers on the menu bar, no clunky app

Response from developer

JazakAllah khair for this. No clunky app was the brief. You glance up, you know where you are in the day, and you get back to what you were doing. If you use it on iPhone too, Prayer Pause blocks your phone during prayer, and Sajda Mode unlocks it with a prayer mat scan. Grateful for the 5 stars.

best salah spp

needed to see my salah times on my mac and was so happy to discover this app

Response from developer

So glad you found it, Rawan. Salah times sitting right there on your Mac without digging through anything is the whole idea. If you ever want the phone side of it, Prayer Pause blocks your phone during prayer, and Sajda Mode unlocks it with a prayer mat scan. JazakAllah khair for the review.
