The moment your salah begins, Prayer Pause locks the distracting apps pulling at you, then unlocks them the second you finish, so you can pray without your phone whispering in the back of your mind. Build a real habit of dhikr, Quran and intentional time between prayers instead of endless scrolling.

Prayer Pause helps you cut that down and gives your deen the space it deserves. Pick the apps to block. Set schedules around your prayer times.
