Did you pray all five today? Most prayer apps tell you when to pray. Rakaati remembers whether you did β€” and shows you honestly what that has looked like over a week, a month, a year. ONE TAP, FROM THE NOTIFICATION A reminder arrives after the adhan and you answer it without opening the app: in the masjid, in jamā'ah, alone, or missed. One tap, because a tracker you have to fight is a tracker you abandon. MORE THAN A CHECKBOX Rakaati records what actually distinguishes one prayer from another β€” whether you prayed it in the masjid, with people, or alone, and whether you caught it in its time or prayed it late. A missed prayer can carry a reason: asleep, travelling, at work, busy, or simply forgot. Over a month, the reason that is costing you most becomes obvious. AN HONEST SCORE Not a streak that shames you into quitting. A prayer in the masjid scores full marks, jamā'ah elsewhere a little less, praying alone less again, and a late prayer is discounted rather than erased. A prayer you were genuinely excused from is left out of the maths entirely, so illness or travel never reads as failure. Anything you have not recorded stays grey and is ignored β€” the app will not guess, and it will not count silence against you. Track the morning and evening athkar and a daily Quran portion too, and they count in the day beside the five prayers β€” your choice, in Settings. YOUR RECORD, IN ONE PLACE Every day's prayers, athkar and reading with its score, or rolled up by week and by month, with your masjid rate and on-time rate broken out, and every perfect day counted. JUMU'AH KNOWS IT IS FRIDAY On Friday, Dhuhr becomes Jumu'ah automatically β€” its own name, its own icon, and its own expectation of the masjid. THE QURAN, AS THE MUSHAF PRINTS IT The Madinah Mushaf from the King Fahd Glorious Qur'an Printing Complex: its text, its 604 pages and its script, turned page by page like the printed copy. Find a surah by name or number. The page you were on is kept for you, so a call or an interruption never loses your place. Long-press any ayah to bookmark it; double-tap for full-screen reading. Every Friday, a reminder to read Surat Al-Kahf comes at the time you choose and opens the surah. A DAILY PORTION OF THE QURAN Set a daily amount β€” ayat, pages, a quarter, half or whole hizb, or a juz. Each day continues where the last ended, the Mushaf marks where today's portion starts and ends, and one tap marks it read. MORNING AND EVENING ATHKAR The authentic morning and evening remembrances, in Arabic with their meaning in your language and their source. Tap to count each one, or mark the set as completed at once. A reminder after Fajr and after Asr moves with the prayer times, and stays quiet once you have finished. QIBLA COMPASS Turn until the Kaaba lines up under the pointer; the direction is worked out on your device. HOME SCREEN WIDGETS The next prayer and today's five at a glance, plus a weekly and monthly summary widget so your record is in front of you without opening anything. PRAYER TIMES, CALCULATED ON YOUR DEVICE Times come from the open-source Adhan library, with your choice of method, Asr madhab and high-latitude rule. Choose your city by hand if you would rather not share your location β€” the app works either way. SEVEN LANGUAGES English, Arabic, Urdu, Indonesian, Turkish, French and Spanish β€” right-to-left throughout for Arabic and Urdu, widgets and notifications included. The app follows your phone's language, or pick one in Settings. NOTHING LEAVES YOUR PHONE Rakaati has no account, no server, and makes no network requests at all. Your record is written to your device and stays there. No analytics, no advertising, no trackers. Delete the app and the record is gone with it. Free. No subscription, no unlockable features, no ads. Prayer times are a calculation β€” where your masjid differs, follow your masjid. Privacy Policy: https://3zcs.me/rakaati/privacy/ Support: https://3zcs.me/rakaati/support/
