User reviews

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.

Allahuma Barik

Amazing concept, amazing UI. Keeps me locked in with salah

Response from developer

Allahuma barik, this genuinely made our day. Staying locked in for your salah instead of drifting to the phone is the whole reason we built Prayer Pause, so knowing it is doing that for you means a lot. Jazak Allah khairan for the kind words, and may Allah accept your prayers.

Got me back on my deen

Great app that truly made me get back on my religion. I am no longer spending useless hours on TikTok or instagram

Response from developer

This genuinely made our day, Omar. Alhamdulillah that Prayer Pause helped you trade those hours on TikTok and Instagram for time with your deen, that is exactly why we built it. May Allah keep you consistent and reward your intention. If a friend is stuck in the same scroll, passing it along could help them too. Thank you for being here.

10/10! Helping me stay focused after Ramadan

I don’t usually write reviews, but I felt that I had to for this app! After every Ramadan, like many others, my focus on deen tends to take a swing but I am so glad to say that this year, this has not happened. This is mainly due to this app, as the streak keeps me on track and the app keeps me off my phone. With no distractions I’m able to stay focused and continue getting better.

Whoever the owner of this app is, jazakAllah Khair!

Response from developer

Wa iyyak, this means so much! Post-Ramadan consistency is one of the hardest battles, and the fact that the streak and Prayer Pause are helping you hold the line is exactly what we built this for. May Allah keep you steady and reward you for taking the time to write this. More features coming inshaAllah, stay tuned!
