The only prayer app built to help you close it. When the adhan is called, the apps you choose rest, and return once you have prayed. Then it mirrors your mosque: pick your masjid, photograph its board, or type today's times, so every screen follows your mosque's clock instead of a generic calculation. It is a witness, not a warden. You press and hold to confirm you prayed, and your apps return. No timer to wait out, and no lock we hold over you. Your practice stays on your phone. No account, no ads, no analytics, no tracking, nothing sold or shared. Worship is not a data product. An honest note, before you decide. This app works by putting something in your way. That is the point, and it is not for everyone. You can turn Screen Time off in iOS Settings at any moment, and we will not pretend otherwise. It is a promise you make to yourself, not a lock we hold over you. THREE MODES. YOU PICK. Gentle. Full-screen reminders at each prayer, nothing blocked. Focus. Blocks your chosen apps from prayer time until you confirm you prayed. Committed. Blocks your chosen apps for the whole prayer window. No early unlock. Only the apps you choose. Nothing else on your phone changes. TIMES YOU CAN SET YOUR WATCH BY Prayer times and reminders for all five prayers, with the Athan if you want it. Calculation methods including Muslim World League, Umm al-Qura, Egyptian, Karachi, ISNA, and more. Asr according to the Hanafi or Shafi'i position. High-latitude rules for northern summers. Per-prayer offsets in minutes, so Fajr on your phone is Fajr on your mosque's board. All of it calculated on your device. THE QUR'AN, ON PAPER A complete mushaf lives inside the app. Flick through its 604 pages one by one, the way a printed Qur'an turns, with a quiet click at each page. Nothing scrolls. The Arabic is set in the Amiri Quran typeface, and whole-page English translation is included, with more languages planned. Find your place by surah, juz, page, or verse, keep bookmarks, and the reader opens where you left off. All of it works offline, always, and no one is told what you read. A VERSE TO BEGIN THE DAY On the first open of each day, one uplifting verse of comfort, in Arabic and English, on a paper page. One quiet Continue, then your times. It shows once a day at most, never during a prayer window, and a single switch in Settings turns it off. Which verse you were shown is never recorded, anywhere. PRIVATE, ON YOUR DEVICE, ALWAYS There is no login and no profile. Your prayer log, your streak, your settings, and the apps you choose are never transmitted anywhere. The apps you block are opaque tokens even to us; Apple designed Screen Time so we cannot see them. Three things touch the network, and nothing else: Apple's purchase system, an approximate area if you ask for mosques near you, and a mosque timetable if you choose to share one. Our App Store privacy label declares exactly that. Check it, then check anyone else's. SEVEN DAYS FREE. EVERYTHING INCLUDED. Every feature is open from the first launch: matching your mosque, all three modes, the Athan, the full mushaf, the daily verse, streaks, mercy days, the Qibla finder, and the mosque directory. Nothing is charged for seven days, and you are told the date and the amount before the trial starts. After that, keep the plan that suits you: monthly, yearly, or once for good with the Lifetime option, at the price the App Store shows for your country. Cancel anytime in Settings. Reading the Qur'an and the daily verse stay free either way. ImanKeeper keeps to its lane: your mosque's times, your attention during Salah, and the Qur'an close at hand for the minutes around it. There is no feed, no account, and no ads. If you want a companion for everything, the big apps do that well. If you want your phone on your side at prayer time, this is the tool.
