WAQT · وقت · IPHONE
You don't miss prayers.
You postpone them.
Waqt locks your distracting apps when a prayer window is about to close and you haven't prayed yet. Keep your prayer app — Waqt is the part that makes you act on it.
Four petals laid. One to go before Maghrib.
01 · DEADLINE SHIELD
The last 30 minutes belong to the prayer
Every prayer has a window, and nobody misses it at the start — they miss it at the end, after four rounds of “in a minute.” Waqt arms a shield only for the final stretch you choose. Haven't marked the prayer? Your chosen apps won't open until you do. Prayed on time? You never see Waqt at all.
02 · NIGHT LOCK
Fajr is won the night before
At your wind-down time, the feed goes to sleep and stays asleep until Fajr. There's no button to talk your way past — there's no prayer to claim yet. When your alarm rings, the phone is still locked, and the first thing it will do with you is pray.
03 · THE PATTERN
Punctuality you can look at
Every on-time prayer lays a golden petal. Five petals make a day; twenty-eight days complete a named girih panel — Alhambra, Qarawiyyin, Registan — archived in your private gallery. It never shatters, never resets, and nobody else will ever see it. There is nothing to share, on purpose.
THE RULE WAQT IS BUILT ON
Waqt never verifies worship.
One tap says the prayer is done — no proof, no camera, no interrogation. Between you and Allah is exactly where that stays. The only friction in Waqt is on the way around the prayer: skipping past a shield takes deliberate effort, and an emergency release is always one long press away, unlogged to anyone but you.
Cycle, travel, illness
One-tap pauses that preserve everything. Travel enables combined check-ins, the way travelers actually pray.
Rest days, built in
Three automatic rest days a month. A hard day doesn't erase a good month — the pattern only ever grows.
Private by architecture
No servers, no account, no analytics. Apple's Screen Time does the blocking on-device — Waqt can't even see which apps you chose.
BEFORE RAMADAN · BEFORE HAJJ
The habit you want to carry to Makkah — and carry home
Ramadan is exactly 28 days of Waqt's pattern — one complete panel. And if this is your Hajj or Umrah year, the preparation everyone tells you to start with is the same one: five prayers, on time, until it holds. Waqt's travel mode rides with you — combined prayers count together, Umm al-Qura timings are built in, and your streak survives the whole journey.
The harder part is the flight home. Every returning pilgrim knows the fade — two weeks of perfect prayers dissolving back into the feed. That is precisely the moment Waqt was built for: the version of you that stood in the Haram set the standard, and the shield holds you to it, quietly, five times a day.

WHY NOT FREE?
Free apps sell attention — the exact thing Waqt exists to hand back to your prayers. One honest price means Waqt works for you alone: no engagement metrics, no streak notifications engineered to bring you back, no data to monetize. You buy it once, and its only job, forever, is that the prayer gets prayed.
Questions people actually ask
Does Waqt verify that I prayed?
No, and it never will. Waqt records one thing per window: that you marked it done. No camera, no motion sensing, no location checks, no proof. It is an honor system by design — the friction lives on the escape hatch, never on the claim.
How is this different from a prayer times app?
It isn't one — keep the prayer app you love. Prayer apps tell you when the window opens. Waqt acts at the other end: when the window is about to close and you haven't prayed, your chosen apps become unopenable until you mark it. On days you pray on time, Waqt is invisible.
What is Night Lock?
Nobody loses Fajr at 5am — it's lost at 1:40am, scrolling. Night Lock shuts your chosen apps at a wind-down time you pick (fixed, or relative to Fajr) and keeps them shut until Fajr. When the alarm rings, the phone's first useful act is the prayer.
What happens during menstruation, travel, or illness?
One tap pauses everything, and every pause preserves your entire record — the pattern never resets, ever. The cycle pause hides shields and check-ins completely. The travel pause also lets one check-in close a combined pair (Dhuhr+Asr, Maghrib+Isha), the way travelers actually pray.
Does it work in the UK, Germany, and Scandinavia in summer?
Yes — high-latitude rules (middle of the night, seventh of the night, twilight angle) are built in and engage automatically above 48°, with twelve calculation methods, Hanafi and standard Asr, and per-prayer offsets to match your local masjid.
Why $24.99, and what data do you collect?
Once, forever — no subscription, because your prayer life should not be a recurring bill. And none: Waqt has no servers, no account, no analytics. Apple's Screen Time framework does the blocking on-device, and Apple's design means Waqt cannot even see which apps you chose.
The window is open. It won't stay open.
Coming to the App Store before Ramadan 1448.
