Athan
Pray together, stay consistent.
An offline-first Islamic prayer habit app. Accurate salah times and Qibla computed on your device, a personal prayer streak, a qadaa (missed-prayer) make-up planner, and private family prayer circles. No ads, no creep — everything stays on your phone unless you choose to sync your own settings via iCloud.

How it works
Up and running in under two minutes.
- 01
Set up once
Grant location to compute accurate prayer times for your city and choose your calculation method. Your location is used on-device and is never transmitted.
- 02
Pray and log
Get a gentle adhan notification before each prayer, then tap to log it and build your streak. Track and plan make-ups for any qadaa.
- 03
Pray together
Add your household to a local family circle for quiet, shared accountability — all kept on one device.
A note from the studio
“Worship is the most personal thing there is. An app for it shouldn't sell ads against your prayer times or ship your location to a server. Athan computes everything on your phone and keeps it there — and the only thing that can leave is your own settings, into your own iCloud, if you ask it to.”
Questions
The honest answers.
Does Athan send my location anywhere?
No. Your location is used on your device to compute prayer times and Qibla, and it is never transmitted to a Lumen Labs server.
Do I need an account?
No. Athan works fully offline and anonymously. Sign in with Apple is entirely optional — it only lets your own settings sync between your devices via your personal iCloud, and we never see your name or email.
Are family circles synced across phones?
Not yet. A family circle is a local household board on one device — there's no backend and no shared data leaves the phone. Cross-device circle sync is a future addition.
Do you show ads or sell my data?
Never. No ads, no trackers, no data sale. Crash reporting and analytics are both off by default and strictly opt-in.
What does Athan Plus add?
The free tier covers prayer times, adhan, Qibla, your streak, and the basic qadaa counter. Athan Plus adds family prayer circles, the qadaa make-up planner, custom reciters, dual-city, widgets, Ramadan mode, a journal, and a monthly report.
Launching soon
Be first to know when Athan ships.
It'll launch at $19.99 / year. Free tier: prayer times, adhan, qibla, personal streak, and the basic qadaa counter — free.
One email when it lands on the store. No drip sequence, no spam.
No spam. No tracking. Email only — unsubscribe with one click.
Everything — prayer logs, streaks, qadaa counts, settings, and family circles — is stored locally on your device in AsyncStorage. Athan is offline-first with no backend.
