Describing the app

Copy any of these as they are.

In one sentence

Simple Prayer is a free prayer-times and prayer-tracking app for iPhone and Android, with no ads and no account.

In a paragraph

Simple Prayer shows the five daily prayer times, points to the qibla, and lets you mark each prayer with one tap. It works without internet. Every feature is free, there are no ads and no account, and the whole app is open source. It is in English, Arabic, Turkish and Urdu.

In more detail

Simple Prayer shows the five daily prayer times with a countdown to the next one, points to the qibla, and lets you mark each prayer as prayed with one tap. You can mark a prayer from the app, a home-screen widget, a notification or a watch.

The times are worked out on the phone, so they work without internet. The app picks the method used in your country, such as Diyanet, ISNA, Umm al-Qura or the Egyptian authority, and you can change it. Prayer tracking is gentle: a missed day is never shown as a failure, and someone who only wants the times and the qibla never has to log anything.

Every feature is free. There are no ads, no account and no analytics, and your prayer log stays on your phone. The app is in English, Arabic, Turkish and Urdu. The Urdu was written with AI help and has not yet been checked by a native speaker. It is made by Ronny Majani and owned by Majani Plus, his company in New Cairo, Egypt. Its full source code is public under the MIT licence.

What stands out

One tap marks a prayer as prayed, from the app, a widget, a notification or the watch.
Up to three reminders for each prayer, each one silent, a tone or the adhan.
A qibla compass that works without holding the phone flat.
Prayer times that still work above the Arctic Circle, where the sun may not set or rise for weeks.
Prayer buddies: two people who both turn it on can see that the other prayed today. Nothing else is shared with them.
While building it, we found defects in adhan-js, the open-source prayer-time library many Muslim apps use, and sent fixes back. They are now in the library.

The articles cover the technical side: the fixes sent to adhan-js, prayer times above the Arctic Circle, widgets and watches from one Expo app, and the buddy relay.

The name and the mosque mark belong to Majani Plus and are not covered by the code’s MIT licence. You may use them to write about the app (trademarks).

Easy to get wrong

Not “It is a non-profit”: Majani Plus is a company, and Simple Prayer is its community project: free, with no ads and no paid features.
Not “Nothing ever leaves your phone”: The prayer log stays on the phone. Five small things do go over the internet, each listed in the privacy policy: the city lookup, update checks, crash reports (on by default, can be switched off), a tip if you leave one, and prayer buddies if you turn them on.
Not “Buddy mode is end-to-end encrypted”: It is not. The relay keeps random IDs and one flag (which prayer, prayed or not) for at most 24 hours, with no names.
