Sunnah Lock helps you guard your time and lower your gaze by blocking distracting apps, websites, and whole categories — enforced by iOS itself, not a workaround you can talk yourself out of. PRAYER-TIME BLOCKING Distractions lock automatically across each of the five daily prayer windows, calculated on your device from your city. No account, no location tracking — just a name and a time. BUILD YOUR OWN BLOCKS Guard a time, a place, or a habit. Start from a ready-made template — Masjid, Home, Night, Work, Seeking Knowledge — or build your own from scratch: pick the apps, set the schedule, done. MUHASABAH — YOUR OWN HONEST RECORD See your real screen time, straight from Apple's own Screen Time data — never estimated, never invented. Your weekly pattern, your most-used apps, and the apps quietly running above their usual pace. Nothing here is guessed, and nothing leaves your device. BLOCK HARAM CONTENT Apple's own adult-content filter plus your own website list, on all day, everywhere — not just during a scheduled block. ADHKAR Morning and evening remembrance, in Arabic, transliteration, and translation, every entry sourced. Sign-in is optional — the app works fully without an account, and creating one only saves your plan across devices. Built for the moments your phone gets between you and what actually matters. SUBSCRIPTION Sunnah Lock Premium is available monthly or yearly, each with a 7-day free trial. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when the trial ends. The subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel it at any time in your Apple Account settings.
