Prayer Pause vs Prayer Stop

Prayer Pause turns your screen time into prayer time. Every time you try to open a distracting app, Prayer Pause shows you a moment of prayer instead. Complete your prayer, and your apps unlock — for as long as you choose. Instead of automatically reaching for Instagram, YouTube, games or other distracting apps, take a moment to pause, pray and reflect. One mindful pause at a time, you can reduce mindless scrolling, improve your focus and build a lasting daily prayer habit.

If you often find yourself checking your phone without thinking, endlessly scrolling social media, or spending more screen time than you intended, Prayer Pause gives you a simple way to interrupt that habit. Instead of trying to rely on willpower alone, use the moments when you normally reach for your phone as a reminder to pause and pray. Whether you want to pray every morning, remember to pray throughout the day, reduce phone distractions, improve your focus, or simply create a more consistent spiritual routine, Prayer Pause helps turn small moments into a meaningful daily habit. PRAYER IN YOUR LANGUAGE Choose from prayers and spiritual reflections in English, हिन्दी (Hindi) and मराठी (Marathi).

A HEALTHIER RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR PHONE Your phone doesn't have to be the enemy of your attention.

Prayer Stop holds back the apps that pull at you, at every prayer, for as long as you choose. Reach for Instagram at Dhuhr and you do not get Instagram. You get الظهر in gold on a still screen, the minutes left, and one button: I've prayed. It is not a notification you swipe away. It is the phone standing aside. That is what this app is for. Everything else in it serves that. HOLDING BACK APPS • Choose the apps that pull at you. Prayer Stop never learns which ones — iOS keeps that private and the app only ever sees a number. • Choose 3, 5 or 10 minutes. When the pause ends, everything returns on its own. • Finished early? One tap and your apps come back. • Nothing is locked away from you. This is a commitment you made to yourself, and you can switch it off in Settings in ten seconds. • Phone, Messages and emergency calls are never touched. NO ADS. NO TRACKING. NO PAYWALL. • There is no advertising SDK in this app. No banners, no interstitials, nothing that interrupts you — least of all while you pray. • Nothing follows you between apps. There is no analytics of any kind, no advertising identifier, and no account to create. • No premium tier, no subscription, no locked features. All of it is free. • Prayer Stop is kept running by a short list of handpicked partners and sadaqah jariyah causes, on a Recommendations page you visit only if you want to. PRAYER TIMES • The five prayers for your city, with the next one counting down to the second. • Muslim World League, ISNA and Egyptian calculation methods. • Computed on your phone. No account, no sign-in, no server. • A quiet alert as each prayer arrives — or, if you choose, the opening of the adhan. QIBLA • A live compass to the Kaaba, with the exact bearing and distance from wherever you are standing. QUR'AN • All 114 surahs, with the meaning in your choice of translation. • Listen to 8 renowned reciters, among them Mishary Alafasy, Abdul Basit, Al-Husary and As-Sudais. The verse being recited is highlighted as you read. • Download the whole Qur'an to read offline, and save a surah or a reciter's whole recitation to listen without internet. IN YOUR LANGUAGE • 19 languages: English, Arabic, Urdu, Turkish, Persian, Bengali, Indonesian, Malay, Kurdish (Kurmanji and Sorani), Bosnian, Albanian, Somali, Russian, German, French, Dutch, Spanish and Italian. MADE TO LIVE ON YOUR HOME SCREEN • Widgets in the app's own style, including a small one with a live countdown to the next prayer. • Five backgrounds — green courtyard, blue night, brown clay, rose garden, violet dusk — four accent colours and a day mode. The pause screen, the widgets and the app icon follow whatever you pick. • A dua or hadith after each pause, if you'd like one. PRIVACY Your location is used on your device to work out prayer times and the qibla, and it is not sent anywhere. The apps you choose to hold back are handled by iOS Screen Time and stay opaque to Prayer Stop. The only requests the app makes are for Qur'an text and recitation audio when you open or download a surah; nothing about you is sent with them. Holding back apps needs iOS 16 or later. Prayer times, qibla and the Qur'an work on any supported iPhone.
