Prayer Debts

Read full description

Prayer Debts is a quiet companion for your qada journey. Missed prayers can accumulate over years. The number can feel overwhelming. It can feel heavy. But every prayer offered matters Prayer Debts helps you track and repay your missed (qada) prayers with dignity β€” without pressure, without gamification, without noise. Your progress is framed around what you have offered, not what remains. Large, warm typography celebrates each completed prayer. Subtle progress arcs encourage quietly. Generous space reduces anxiety instead of amplifying it. This is not a productivity app. It is a calm, private space for spiritual consistency. Features: β€’ Track Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha individually β€’ One tap logs a completed qada prayer β€’ Gentle haptic acknowledgment β€’ Quick undo for accidental taps β€’ Edit totals anytime without losing progress β€’ Automatic iCloud sync across your devices β€’ No accounts β€’ No ads β€’ No backend β€” your data stays on your device No streaks. No daily goals. No notifications pushing you. What matters is that you return. Made with ikhlas.
