Niyyah helps you keep your five daily prayers — and clear the ones you've missed — gently, privately, on your phone. Built for Muslims who want a calm prayer habit without ads, accounts, or guilt. WHY NIYYAH • Tap to mark Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha. • A streak that rewards istiqāmah (consistency), kept private. • A gentle "Did you pray?" reminder after each prayer so you never forget to log it. • Qada calculator: estimate your missed-prayer backlog and clear it, in order, with no shame. • Sunnah, witr and tahajjud tracking when you're ready to go further. • Accurate prayer times for your location and a qibla compass, on-device. • Home Screen widget for the next prayer at a glance. WHO IT'S FOR Muslims rebuilding a lapsed habit, reverts learning the prayers, anyone who wants a private record of their salah without a leaderboard or social feed. PRIVACY Niyyah works without an account. No ads. No analytics. No third-party tracking. Your prayer history lives on your device and syncs only to your own private iCloud — we cannot read it. Location is used on-device for prayer times and qibla and is never transmitted to us. Full policy: https://theniyyahapp.github.io/privacy.html Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ RESPECT Niyyah tracks — it never issues religious rulings.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Khatma App at none against Niyyah's 3. Khatma App also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs fortnightly) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
