About

Prayer Time Offline

Features
Read 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.
