Prayer Times keeps you oriented toward your five daily prayers โ accurate timings for your exact location, a live countdown to what's next, and simple tools to build a consistent habit around it. ACCURATE TIMES, WHEREVER YOU ARE Prayer times are calculated from your GPS location (or a location you set manually), so you always see Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha for where you actually are. LIVE COUNTDOWN A real-time countdown to the next prayer sits front and center, with a progress bar showing how far through the day you are. QIBLA COMPASS Find the direction of the Kaaba from anywhere with a tilt-compensated compass that points to true north, not just magnetic north. DAILY STREAK Check off each prayer as you complete it and watch your streak build โ a simple, private way to stay accountable to your five daily prayers. ATHKAR A built-in library of morning and evening athkar (remembrances), with optional reminders before and after each prayer. HIJRI CALENDAR Browse the Islamic calendar alongside the Gregorian one, so upcoming dates are always easy to place. HOME SCREEN WIDGETS Add Next Prayer, Countdown, Checklist, or full-day Schedule widgets to your home screen โ see what's coming up and check off completed prayers without opening the app. CUSTOM NOTIFICATIONS Set reminders per prayer โ silent, vibration, or sound โ exactly how you want to be notified for each one. Prayer Times is simple by design: no ads, no clutter, just the tools to help you stay on top of your prayers every day.
