Prayer Time Offline
Read full descriptionHide full description
Prayer times calculated on your device from the sun's position — no internet, no account, no ads. WHY THIS APP • Works completely offline. The timetable never touches the network. • Your location never leaves the phone — not your coordinates, not your city. No ads, no tracking, no account. • Real alarms, not notifications. A prayer alarm rings through silent mode and Focus, the way the Clock app does — which matters most for Fajr. TIMES • Fajr, Sunrise, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha, plus Imsak, midnight and the last third of the night • Hanafi or Shafi'i Asr • Ten calculation methods — or match your own mosque: type in today's Fajr and Isha and the app solves for the twilight angle that produces them • Per-prayer adjustment of ±30 minutes • High-latitude rules for northern countries TASBIH • The after-prayer tasbih is built in: SubhanAllah, Alhamdulillah, Allahu Akbar, 33 each • Save your own dhikr with a name and a target, and see at a glance how far you are • A firm vibration at every 33 and at the target, so you can count without looking ALSO • Qibla compass, with the distance to the Kaaba • Monthly timetable you can share as plain text • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets • Hijri date, rolling over at Maghrib • Language and country chosen inside the app, not in system settings Times are computed from the sun's astronomical position. Like any timetable this rests on a convention — please check it against the times your local mosque publishes, and use the calibration screen if they differ.

Rak'ah keeps your prayers in order: when to pray, which way to face, and how many rak'ahs you've prayed. PRAYER TIMES • Accurate times for wherever you are, or for a city you choose • The calculation method used in your country, with Hanafi and Shafi'i Asr • A monthly timetable and the Hijri date • A reminder at each prayer, and another twenty minutes before its time runs out ON YOUR APPLE WATCH • Counts your rak'ahs from the movement of your wrist while you pray • A tap on your wrist when each prayer comes in, with one tap to start counting • The qibla on your wrist, and a complication for your watch face DHIKR • Tap anywhere on the card to count, with no button to aim for • Swipe between adhkar, each keeping its own count ALWAYS IN VIEW • The next prayer counts down on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island • Widgets for your Home Screen and Lock Screen QIBLA • A compass pointing towards the Kaaba from wherever you are PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Prayer times and the qibla are worked out on your device. Your location never leaves it. • No ads, no tracking, no analytics. • Your prayer history is kept under an anonymous account so it follows you to a new phone, and you can delete it from Settings at any time. In English and Arabic.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Rak'ah at none against Prayer Time Offline's 5. Rak'ah also leads on iOS requirement (16.4 vs 26.0). Prayer Time Offline's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 9 days). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
