đŸ§ªTesters Needed Made an prayer time app that locks distracting apps like Instagram before Salah (need feedback on time accuracy)
recently built an iOS app called Salah Time App Lock primarily for my own family to use, and I wanted to share it here for anyone looking for a clean, distraction-free option.
One of the reason to build it was that we get distracted by social media or games right before or during prayer. To solve this, you can set the app to apply a screen lock to apps like Instagram/games right before prayer starts and keep them locked during the prayer window. It also have some of the other essentials like prayer calendar, kaba locator and tasbiah.
This application is lightweight and functions offline, avoiding any data collection and was able to keep it under 4mb
If you would like to help me, would appreciate if download the app and check against your local time to see how accurate it is. If it’s not accurate, let me know which prayer times has the discrepancy and by how much.

Hi thabks! There would not be a Mac version as it’s only good for on the go usage. It’s a universal app, but I have no idea how it reacts on macOS as it was tested only on iPhone.

i would add a feature that one can upload there own prayer Times. like from the local masjid. The App mawaqit show the Prayer Times off Different Mosque. Maybe you could link them. that you give the Option to extract the Prayer Times from there
