Ever forget which rak'ah you're on? Say no more! Using your device’s front facing camera, Salati utilizes state-of-the-art existing Computer Vision and Artificial Intelligence technology to count the number of rakats you perform during your Islamic prayer, so you will never happen to pray more or less rakats than you actually need. For a lot of people, Salati also helps you focus in your salat, and with its prayer checklist, you may also bid farewell to your troubles of trying to remember whether or not you’ve prayed a certain mandatory prayer. Salati is powered by SalatNet, a Machine Learning (ML) model formed with hundreds of training images, resulting in a ML model with a whopping accuracy of around 90%. SalatNet is also quite premature, and in order for Salati to improve and become a more inclusive product, the option to submit training data and enhance SalatNet is open to all users, just submit photos of you praying and your fingerprints will be all over a boosted version of SalatNet! Salati is solo-developed by a Computer Science student, so whether it’s comments of appreciation, or constructive criticism of the app, your input would be more than welcome, so please send in some feedback!

Rakaat counts your rak'ahs automatically while you pray, so you never lose count. Place your phone face‑up on the floor at the spot of your sujood, tap Start Prayer, and pray normally. Using the front depth sensor, Rakaat senses your prostrations and counts one rak'ah for every two — showing a large, glanceable number and a live posture indicator (standing, ruku', sujood). PRIVATE BY DESIGN • The app reads distance only. It never captures or stores photos or video. • Nothing leaves your device. No account, no sign‑in, no tracking, no data collected. • Works fully offline. FEATURES • Automatic rak'ah counting via the TrueDepth front sensor • Live posture indicator while you pray • Missed first‑tashahhud reminder — a gentle on‑screen note if you rise into the third rak'ah without sitting • English and Arabic, with full right‑to‑left support • Light and dark appearance • Simple, calm, distraction‑free design HOW IT WORKS 1. Place your phone face‑up on the floor, in front of you at the spot of your sujood. 2. Tap Start Prayer. 3. Pray normally — Rakaat counts for you and shows a summary when you finish. REQUIREMENTS Rakaat needs an iPhone with a TrueDepth front sensor (Face ID). It reads depth only — no images are ever taken. Rakaat is a helper tool and does not replace your own attention in prayer.
