Never miss a prayer while flying. PrayAir calculates precise in-flight Islamic prayer times and Qibla guidance for commercial flights using flight-path data, astronomical calculations, and region-appropriate prayer methods. PRAYER TIMES IN THE AIR PrayAir determines when each prayer begins along your journey, including Fajr, Sunrise, Dhuhr, Asr (Standard and Hanafi), Maghrib, Isha, and Qiyam. It supports 10 recognized prayer calculation methods, including Muslim World League, ISNA, Umm al-Qura, Egyptian General Authority of Survey, and others, with automatic selection based on the region you are flying over. SEARCH YOUR FLIGHT YOUR WAY Look up your trip by airline and flight number, search by route, or scan your boarding pass on mobile. PrayAir helps keep multi-route flight numbers matched to the correct origin and destination so you get the right result for your trip. QIBLA FROM YOUR SEAT At each prayer point, PrayAir shows the Qibla direction relative to the aircraft’s heading, with clear guidance such as ahead, behind, left, or right from your seat. MULTIPLE TIME ZONES View prayer times in your departure airport’s timezone, arrival airport’s timezone, or Local Time Along Route, which shows the local timezone directly below the aircraft at each prayer moment. REMINDERS, CALENDAR, AND OFFLINE ACCESS Schedule prayer reminders 2 minutes before each prayer, add events to your phone’s calendar, and keep results available offline after your first lookup so they are ready in the air. EXTRA HELP FOR JEDDAH ARRIVALS For eligible flights arriving in Jeddah, PrayAir can show a Mīqāt reminder so travelers preparing for Hajj or Umrah know when they are passing near the boundary point for entering Iḥrām.

About

Knot

Read full description

Knot turns your map into a journal. Every place you've been holds something. The friend you met there. The conversation that stuck with you. The ordinary afternoon you'd otherwise forget. Knot gives you somewhere to put it. Drop a pin, write down what happened, and your map slowly becomes a record of your life as you actually lived it. WHY A MAP Most journals organize memories by date. But that isn't how we remember. You walk past a coffee shop and the whole evening comes back. You see a street name and remember who lived there. Place is the thread that pulls memory loose. Knot is built around that idea. Instead of scrolling backward through entries, you look at where you've been and everything comes with it. WHAT YOU CAN DO Drop a pin anywhere and attach a memory to it Note the people you were with and how you know them Write as much or as little as you want, from a sentence to a full entry Watch your map fill in over time as a picture of where your life has actually happened Revisit any pin whenever you want to remember FOR PEOPLE, NOT JUST PLACES Knot started as a way to keep track of people. Where you met someone, what you talked about, what they mentioned they were working on. It's the kind of detail that matters and disappears fast. Pin it, and it's there the next time you're in touch. YOUR MEMORIES STAY YOURS Knot stores everything on your device. Your pins, your notes, and your people never leave your phone. There's no feed, no followers, and nothing to perform. This is a private record, kept for you. QUIET BY DESIGN No streaks. No notifications nagging you to log your day. No metrics telling you how you're doing at remembering your own life. Open Knot when you have something worth keeping, and close it when you're done. Start with one pin. See what your map looks like in a year.
