Everything for your prayers, in one quiet app

Mawaqeet is designed in Arabic first, and all of it runs on your phone.

Accurate times for your city

Use your approximate location, search about 34,000 cities, or type coordinates. The calculation method and Asr convention are suggested for your country, such as Umm al-Qura or the Egyptian General Authority of Survey, and each prayer can be adjusted by minutes.

The adhan on time

For each prayer: a short takbir, the full adhan, or silent, with an optional reminder beforehand. Fajr has its own adhan with «as-salatu khayrun min an-nawm», and you can pick an adhan from your own files.

Alarm-clock mode

The adhan shows over the lock screen like an alarm, with Stop and "Prayed" buttons. It can play even when the phone is on silent, and follow either the alarm or the media volume.

Prayer log

Mark each prayer as prayed for today and the six days before, and see your week at a glance. The log is yours alone, and you can delete it any time.

Home-screen widgets

The next prayer with a countdown, today's times, a Hijri and Gregorian date strip, and today's and this week's log. Details below.

Arabic first

In Arabic and English, with Arabic-Indic or Latin digits, light and dark themes, and TalkBack support.

Home-screen widgets

Each widget is designed for each size, in the app's colours or your wallpaper's, with the transparency you choose.

Next prayer

4×2 and 2×2 on a deep teal surface with a gold countdown, and a small ring at 1×1.

Today's times

A 4×1 strip, or 4×2 with the day's path from Fajr to Isha.

Date strip

The Hijri and Gregorian date on one line, 4×1.

Today with prayer log

4×1 and 4×2. Tap a prayer that's due to mark it, and tap again to unmark it.

Week log

One look

One switch in Settings puts every widget in the Next Prayer design.

Your data stays on your phone

No account, no servers, no ads, no trackers. The app doesn't connect to the internet at all. Your prayer log and location aren't backed up to the cloud; they move only in a direct transfer to a new phone. Privacy policy

Set up in a minute

  1. Choose your city, or allow your approximate location, and today's times appear straight away.
  2. Allow notifications and exact alarms on one screen, so the adhan arrives on time.
  3. Choose each prayer's sound in the alert settings, and tap "Try the Adhan Alert" to hear it before the first prayer.
  4. Add a home-screen widget, and mark your prayers from the app or the widget.

Questions

Why does the app ask for "Alarms & reminders"?

So the adhan sounds on the exact minute. Without it, Android may delay the alert by several minutes. You can grant or revoke it in your phone's settings at any time.

The adhan didn't sound on time. What can I do?

Open "Fix alerts" in the app: it checks the notification and exact-alarm permissions and guides you to your phone's battery-saving settings. Also check that the alarm volume (or media volume, if you chose it) isn't muted.

Does it need the internet?

No. Times are calculated on your phone, and the city list is built into the app.

Does anyone see my location or my prayers?

No one. The app sends no data anywhere, and we don't run any servers.

Is it free?

Yes, completely free, with no ads and no in-app purchases.
