Waqfa: Muslim Prayer & Dhikr

Most dhikr apps wait for you to open them. Waqfa meets you where you already are. Waqfa (وَقْفَة) means a pause — a moment to stop, breathe, and return to Allah. Choose the apps that pull you into scrolling, and before they open, Waqfa shows you one short verse from the Qur'an. Then the choice is yours. No ads, no account, nothing to buy — everything is free. PAUSE BEFORE YOU SCROLL Waqfa — the feature the app is named for — places a short verse before the apps you choose. You reach for a social feed or a short-video app; one ayah meets you first, in Arabic with its translation. • Breathe — take a few quiet seconds with a gentle countdown before you go on. • Count — tap a few tasbeeh right on the pause; they count toward today's adhkar and your streak. • Your words — show a verse, or a reminder you write yourself. • Stay open for — choose how long an app stays open after you continue, from 5 minutes to an hour. • Your usage — see time spent and opens for the apps you chose, today and over the last seven days. The choice is always yours: continue, linger, or step away. A gentle pause, not a wall — and never a judgement. PAUSE FOR SALAH When a prayer time begins, Waqfa can pause the apps you choose — even one already open — with a gentle reminder: "Dhuhr time began 5 min ago." Tap "I've prayed", continue anyway, or step away. Choose which of the five prayers, which apps, and how long the pause lasts after each prayer begins (10 to 45 minutes). A DAILY RHYTHM OF REMEMBRANCE • Tap-to-count tasbeeh — tap anywhere on the screen; a gentle haptic counter that always keeps your place. • Morning & evening adhkar — ready-made collections, plus your own built around any intention. • Add your own — type in a dhikr from any book you love, with its Arabic, transliteration and meaning, and a daily count. • Streaks & progress — your streak, lifetime total, milestones and weekly rhythm; share a card of your journey if you wish. Encouragement, never guilt. • Authentic library — adhkar sourced from trusted references, with transliteration and translation. • Gentle reminders — a daily nudge, a reminder for each collection, and a notification at each prayer time. PRAYER, NAMES & DIRECTION • Prayer times — calculated on your device for your location or a city you choose, with 11 calculation methods, Standard or Hanafi Asr, and the Hijri date. No internet needed. • The 99 Names — a Name of the Day, and all 99 to search, reflect on, and count. • Qibla — a compass that turns you toward Makkah, with a gentle haptic when you're aligned. • Ayah of the day — a short verse to carry with you. MAKE IT YOURS One calm app, dressed in your light. Choose from 12 themes — a soft daylight theme and deep night Gold — or follow your system. Adjust the text size, turn transliteration on or off, and use Waqfa on phones and tablets, in portrait or landscape. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Waqfa is local-first. Your adhkar, counts, and streaks stay on your device. No ads, no account to e pause works entirely on your device — which apps you open is never sent anywhere. ABOUT PERMISSIONS To pause an app, Waqfa asks for Usage access (to notice when a chosen app opens) and Display over other apps (to show the verse over it). You can also let Waqfa ignore battery limits so the pause stays reliable. While the pause is on, a quiet notification lets you know it is running. Everything else in Waqfa works with Pause. Remember. Return.
