## What is Waqfa?

Waqfa turns each of your five daily prayers into a real pause.

When prayer time comes, Waqfa locks the apps that pull you away — until you've prayed. No willpower battles, no timers. Just a gentle gate, opened by your intention.

HOW IT WORKS
• Choose the apps you want paused.
• At each prayer's time, Waqfa raises a calm shield over them.
• Set your niyyah, pray, then tap "I prayed" to unlock — or check in any prayer right from your Home screen.

BUILT FOR THE PRAYER, NOT JUST THE CLOCK
• Accurate prayer times for your location (your madhab + calculation method)
• Sunrise, a Qibla compass, and the Hijri date
• A quiet verse or reflection on every shield
• Streaks to keep your days connected

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Waqfa has no account and no servers. It uses Apple's Screen Time (Family Controls) to block apps — entirely on your device. Your location is used only to compute prayer times locally and never leaves your phone. No tracking, no ads, nothing collected.

Pause the dunya. Meet your prayer.
