Prayer Lock โ€“ Salah Focus Staying focused during prayer is not easy anymore. You pick up your phone for something quick, and suddenly you are scrolling, replying, or checking notifications. Before you realize it, the moment is gone. Prayer Lock helps you take that control back. It temporarily locks the apps that distract you during prayer time, so you can be fully present without constantly fighting the urge to check your phone. This is not about strict rules or pressure. It is about making it easier to do what you already want to do. You choose which apps are distracting. When it is time for prayer, those apps become unavailable. No interruptions, no unnecessary distractions, just a clear moment to focus. The app works quietly in the background using Apple Screen Time, so once you set it up, you do not need to think about it again. At the same time, life is not always predictable. If you are in the middle of something important, you can postpone the lock for a short period. Once that time ends, the apps are restricted again automatically. This way you stay flexible without losing consistency. Many people struggle not because they do not care about prayer, but because distractions are constant and easy to fall into. Prayer Lock gives you a simple system that removes that friction. People use Prayer Lock because they want to build better habits without relying only on willpower. They want something practical that actually fits into their daily life. Whether you are trying to improve your focus, reduce screen time, or just be more consistent with your prayers, this app is designed to support that in a simple and realistic way. Start with one prayer. Then another. Over time, it becomes a habit. Prayer Lock is not trying to change everything at once. It is just helping you protect a few important moments in your day.

Pray on time, and protect that time from your phone. Most apps tell you when to pray. SalahSafe helps you actually get there. WAKE UP FOR FAJR A real alarm that rings through Silent and Focus, the same way the Clock app does. Turning it off means getting out of bed: SalahSafe picks an everyday object somewhere in your home โ€” the sink, a kettle, your shoes โ€” and you show it to the camera. Recognition runs on your device, so no photo is ever uploaded or saved. Ignore it and it comes back every few minutes until you are up. Cannot use the camera? The waking duas unlock it instead. You are never locked out. BLOCK APPS DURING SALAH Choose the apps that take your prayer time. When the prayer comes in, they lock, and opening one shows a shield instead of a feed. Built on Apple Screen Time, which means SalahSafe can count how many apps you picked but can never see which ones โ€” not even to show them back to you. PRAYER TIMES AND QIBLA Accurate times from your location, using the calculation method and madhab you follow. An offline qibla compass. The Hijri date. Adhan and pre-prayer reminders so nothing arrives by surprise. READ AND LISTEN TO THE QURAN The full Quran in Uthmani script with translation, and recitation from reciters you already know. Read it, listen to it, or follow along as it is recited. TASBIH AND DAILY ADHKAR A tasbih counter with goals and streaks. The adhkar after salah, and the morning and evening remembrance โ€” reproduced word for word from established published collections, never paraphrased. YOUR PROGRESS, HONESTLY Streaks, weekly consistency, and your Fajr record. Every number begins the day you installed the app, because nothing here will pretend to know what happened before that. WHAT IS FREE, AND STAYS FREE The Quran, the qibla, the tasbih, the duas and the Fajr alarm are free, and they always will be. The deen is not something to charge for. SALAHSAFE PREMIUM Premium adds unlimited app blocking, your full prayer history and trends, deeper Quran insights, dhikr goals and analytics, every ambient sound, longer live translation, and monthly reports. Available monthly, yearly, or as a single payment for life. Subscriptions are charged to your Apple ID and renew automatically at the same price unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel any time in your Apple ID settings. The lifetime option never renews. PRIVACY Your prayer history, streaks, reflections and settings stay on your phone. There are no ads, and nothing here is sold to anyone. The full policy is in the app under Profile, and at the link below. SUBSCRIPTION DETAILS SalahSafe Premium is offered as a 1 month auto-renewable subscription, a 1 year auto-renewable subscription, or SalahSafe Premium Lifetime, a single non-renewing purchase. Prices are shown in your local currency on the purchase screen before you buy. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation. An auto-renewable subscription renews at the same price unless auto-renew is switched off at least 24 hours before the current period ends, and you can manage or cancel it any time in your Apple ID settings. The Lifetime option is a one-off payment and never renews.
