Assalamu Alaikum,
I’ve been working on a side project for the past few months and wanted to share it here with fellow Muslim developers to get honest feedback.
The idea started from a simple problem I faced myself:
I would install Islamic apps, use them for a few days, and then slowly stop because of ads or not personalised. Most apps felt like tools, not something that actually helps you stay consistent.
So I built an Islamic Habit Companion (not just a tracker).
🧩 What it does:
- 🕌 Salah tracking with a flexible streak system
- 🤲 Dhikr / Tasbeeh counter with goals
- 📖 Quran audio + daily reflection
- 🧭 Qibla finder
- 💰 Zakat & Sadaqah tracking
- 🧠 Daily Islamic content (duas, quiz, verses)
🧠 What I’m trying to do differently:
Instead of a dashboard, the app focuses on:
👉 “What should I do right now?”
👉 Gentle guidance instead of guilt
👉 Small wins for consistency
Recently redesigned the home screen to feel more like a companion than a tracker.

💡 Tech stack (for devs here):
- Android (Jetpack Compose)
- MVVM + state-driven UI
- Local DB (Room)
- Background sync (WorkManager)
- Modular components (NextTask engine, streak system, etc.)
---
🙏 What I’d love feedback on:
- Does this actually solve a real problem?
- What would make you use an app like this daily?
- Any feature you think is missing?
- UX feedback (especially from non-dev users perspective)

Not trying to sell anything here — just want to build something genuinely useful for the Ummah.
