Quran Unlock blocks your distracting apps until you have read Quran. Join 300,000+ Muslims building better habits through faith. Struggling to read Quran consistently? You are not alone. Social media, games, and endless scrolling steal our time. Quran Unlock flips the script: your apps stay locked until you prioritize what truly matters. HOW IT WORKS 1. Choose the apps that distract you most: Instagram, TikTok, X, YouTube, or whatever pulls you in. 2. Pick your prayer times: Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, Isha. 3. After each prayer, your apps stay locked until you have read 5 minutes of Quran. 4. Read. Listen. Reflect. Your apps unlock automatically. No willpower battles. No guilt loops. Just a gentle nudge that turns every prayer into a moment of remembrance. INSIDE THE APP Reels Mode: TikTok-style vertical verse feed with word-by-word recitation highlighting. Swipe through ayahs, listen to the Quran like never before. Mushaf Reader: full 604-page canonical layout, tap any verse to hear it recited by Mishary, Husary, Alafasy and more. Per-Prayer Goals: each prayer is its own commitment. Complete Fajr's 5 min and your apps unlock until Dhuhr starts. Then a fresh window opens with the same threshold and a new opportunity. 15 Languages: Arabic, English, French, Urdu, Indonesian, Turkish, Spanish, Malay, Farsi, Russian, Hindi, Bengali, Italian, Portuguese, German. Translation, transliteration, recitation: all in your language. Streak Tracking: see your daily progress, unlock badges, build a habit that lasts. Custom Rules: set your own challenges. Block Twitter until I finish Surah Al-Mulk. No social media until I read 10 ayahs of Al-Baqarah. Your goals, your rules. Friday Al-Kahf: automatically armed every Friday. Daily Azkar: morning and evening remembrances integrated into your routine. WHY IT WORKS We do not preach. We do not shame. We use the same psychology that makes social media addictive, but in reverse. By placing 5 minutes of Quran between you and Instagram, every reach for your phone becomes a chance for dhikr. Whether you are starting your journey or rebuilding consistency after years away, Quran Unlock meets you where you are. Some users start with 1 prayer per day. Others lock all five. Your pace, your path. PRIVACY FIRST We use Apple's Screen Time framework to lock your apps locally on your device. We do not see what apps you use. We do not track your reading. Your spiritual journey is between you and Allah. No ads. No data selling. Premium subscription unlocks unlimited blocked apps and custom rules, but the core habit-building experience is free forever. OUR MISSION We built Quran Unlock because we needed it ourselves. Every line of code is dua. Every feature is a small act of love for the Ummah. 300,000+ Muslims. 15 languages. One mission: bring the Quran back into our daily lives. Finally an app that actually helps me read Quran daily. Changed my relationship with my phone. Best Islamic app I have ever used. DOWNLOAD NOW Start with Fajr tomorrow. InshaAllah, your future self will thank you. May Allah accept it from us all. JazakAllahu khayran.
