I made a free Islamic prayer app to quit saying "I'll pray in 5 minutes"
A developer created a free desktop application called 'Better Prayer' to help users maintain their Islamic prayer schedule by blocking screen access. The app includes features like prayer reminders and an AI-based verification system for performing wudu.
Why it matters
It demonstrates the intersection of religious practice and productivity software, specifically targeting digital distractions for tech-focused users.
Better Prayer helps you stop delaying salah with an optional screen lock at prayer time, so you actually pray instead of procrastinate.
Salah is so easy to forget when you're on your computer all day. That's what this is for.
I love that it notifies me 10 minutes before salah starts.
You can choose the daily verse language from many options, and the explanation is actually easy to understand.
My whole family uses it now. Prayer time finally means prayer time.
placeholder No ads, just a calm reminder when its time to get up for salah.
Good for workaholics, gamers, and anyone who sits at a computer too much.
I'm always gaming or working. It helped me get closer to Allah when it mattered, Alhamdulillah.
At prayer time, everything on my screen just gets blocked. Its annoying in a good way because you actually have to pray first.
