Fajr Buddy is the alarm app built for one purpose: making sure you never miss Fajr again. Most alarm apps let you dismiss with a single tap — making it far too easy to roll over and go back to sleep. Fajr Buddy is different. To turn off your alarm, you must physically get up and scan an NFC tag placed anywhere in your home — your bathroom, your prayer mat, your kitchen. No scan, no silence. HOW IT WORKS • Set your Fajr alarm (or any alarm) in the app • Place your NFC tag somewhere that requires you to get out of bed • When the alarm rings, scan the tag to dismiss it • One-time snooze available — but only once, and it only delays by 5 minutes FEATURES • AlarmKit Integration (New) — Native, critical-level system alarms that override your phone's Silent switch and Do Not Disturb modes. • NFC Tag Dismissal — the only way to stop the alarm is to scan your registered tag • One-Time Snooze — postpones all subsequent alarms by 5 minutes, once per day • Lost Tag Mode — if you've misplaced your tag, hold the Lost Tag button for 60 seconds to dismiss without scanning • Multiple Alarms — set separate alarms for Fajr, Suhoor, or any time you need • Test Alarm — schedule a test ring in 10 seconds to verify everything is working • Re-register NFC Tag — replace your tag at any time from Settings • Clean Dark UI — distraction-free design built for use in low light YOUR PRIVACY Fajr Buddy collects zero data. No account needed. No internet connection required. All alarm times and settings are stored locally on your device only. Your NFC tag ID never leaves your phone. REQUIREMENTS • iOS 26.1 or later Whether you struggle to wake up for Fajr or simply want a more disciplined morning, Fajr Buddy gives you the accountability you need. بارك الله فيكم

About

Naata

Every couple loses words. Slowly. Quietly. You stop saying the small things, then the big things, and one day you're sleeping in the same bed wondering when you became strangers. naata is your relationship's third friend — the one who sits with you and your partner in conversation, helping you both find the words again. It's not a fixer. It's not above you. It's just the warm presence in the middle, holding space for the things you've been meaning to say. YOUR COUPLE CHAT A shared space where you and your partner talk — with naata gently in between. When the conversation gets stuck, Naata names the pattern. When you need a softer way to say something hard, it helps. When you're talking past each other, it pauses. When you're connecting, it steps back. Like a real friend would. DAILY NUDGES One small action each day to keep choosing each other. Notice something. Say it. Mark it done. Watch a streak build that you can both see. PRACTICES FOR YOU After your couple chats, naata writes you a private reflection — just for you, never shared with your partner. It may suggest a small practice tailored to what has been noticed about YOU. Your partner has their own private practices that you cannot see. Growth that's truly yours. INSIGHTS Over time, the patterns of your relationship surface — the rhythms shifting, the milestones quietly reached, what's growing and what needs attention. PRIVACY YOU CAN TRUST End-to-end encrypted. Your couple chat stays between just the two of you. Your private reflections stay just yours. Not even the founders can read your conversations. No advertising trackers. No selling your data. Your relationship is not a product. BUILT FOR COUPLES Full English+Hindi support. Hinglish that respects how you actually speak — aap vs tum, gendered grammar, the casual flow of both languages mixing the way real friends talk. नाता — your bond, deepened.
