Break screen addiction. Turn your phone toward worship.
Halal Phone asks you to read a verse before the apps that pull you in, and locks them at prayer time.
Being built for Android first. Not in any app store yet.
- Fajr
- Dhuhr
- Asr
- Maghrib
- Isha
Each prayer has its own glaze. Tap “I’ve prayed” and its tile is glazed. A bare tile is simply bare: nothing is held against you.
How it works
The moment you reach for an app out of habit becomes a moment with a verse.
Choose your apps
Pick the apps that pull you in, such as social media. Phone, Messages and Maps are never locked.
Read before you open
When you tap a locked app, you first see a verse. Take a moment with it.
Use what you read
Reading earns you time in the app. When that time is up, the app asks for a verse again.
A lock for prayer time
When a prayer time begins, the apps you chose lock. After you pray, tap “I’ve prayed” and they open again.
Locks when the time begins
The lock follows the prayer times for your location.
Opens when you say so
Tap “I’ve prayed” and your apps are available again.
There is always a way out
If you cannot pray right now, choose “I can’t right now”. No blame, no questions. Phone, Messages and Maps stay open the whole time.
Made to be read
Reading should be comfortable. Halal Phone follows your phone’s text size, has its own large-text option, and keeps the reading screen plain: nothing competes with the verse.
فَإِنَّ مَعَ ٱلْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا إِنَّ مَعَ ٱلْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا
But lo! with hardship goeth ease, Lo! with hardship goeth ease;
Ash-Sharh · 94:5–6Arabic text: Tanzil · Translation: Pickthall
