Privacy policy
What the app keeps on your phone
- Your location: the city you choose, or your approximate location if you allow it, used only to calculate prayer times.
- Prayer log: the prayers you mark as prayed.
- Your settings: calculation method, alerts, sounds, appearance and widgets.
- Custom adhan: if you pick an audio file from your phone, the app plays it from where it is and never sends it anywhere.
None of this leaves your phone, and neither we nor anyone else can see it.
Location
The app asks only for approximate location, reads it only while the app is open, and never in the background. You can decline and choose your city by search or coordinates instead; every feature still works.
Backup and moving to a new phone
The prayer log and settings (including your location) are excluded from Android's cloud backup. They move only in a direct transfer from your old phone to your new one (by cable or a direct connection), which happens between your two devices and never passes through us.
Permissions
- Notifications: for adhan alerts and reminders.
- Alarms & reminders (exact alarms): so the adhan sounds on the exact minute.
- Full-screen notifications: to show the adhan over the lock screen in alarm-clock mode, if you turn it on.
- Foreground media playback: so the adhan plays to the end, with a notification that has a Stop button.
- Run at startup: to reschedule alerts after the phone restarts.
- Vibration and approximate location, as above.
The app does not request internet access.
Deleting your data
