The Challenge
Prayer apps that compromise on privacy or accuracy
Many Islamic utility apps require internet connectivity, include intrusive advertising, or use aggressive data collection — unacceptable for a spiritual utility.
- Most apps requiring internet for basic prayer time queries
- Advertising interrupting a spiritual utility
- Inaccurate calculations when changing regions
- Data collection practices incompatible with user privacy expectations
The Solution
A clean, offline-first prayer companion
Salah Companion was built offline-first — all prayer calculations happen on-device using the device geolocation, supporting multiple global calculation methods.
- On-device prayer calculation supporting 10+ global methods
- Dynamic Qibla compass using device magnetometer
- Hijri calendar with important Islamic dates marked
- Local push notifications for each prayer time
The Result
Live on App Store and Google Play with consistently high ratings for accuracy and simplicity.
