What's New in Prayer Pause

1.6.4

August 13, 2026

FIXED: Salah Focus Blocks Reliably Again. Blocking could quietly stop starting for some prayer windows. Fixed at the root, so your apps lock when the window opens. IMPROVED: Steadier Brick Mode. Blocking no longer stays armed after you switch it off, and recovers on its own if it ever gets stuck. FIXED: Bug Fixes & Reliability. A better fit for the blocking screen on iPad, a smoother hold-to-pray button, and general stability under the hood.

Best muslim prayer app thanks so much

So glad it came to Mac

I already this app on my phone and I am so glad it's now on Mac as well. Jazak Allah kul kheir <3

Response from developer

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.

Allahuma Barik

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

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.
