Built for Salah consistency, not generic productivity

Pending prayer detection drives reminders and temporary app shielding.
Reflection ayah flow supports either immediate confirmation or a short no-flow timer.
How It Works
A practical flow for focus during prayer
A simple, practical flow to help you stay focused during Salah.
Step 1
Set up your focus environment
During onboarding, you review permissions, enable reminders, and choose which distractions you want to limit during prayer.
Step 2
Prayer becomes pending
After a prayer time has entered and remains unconfirmed, Prayer Lock activates your selected protection and starts a focused confirmation flow.
Step 3
Choose your action intentionally
You can confirm prayer, start a short no-flow reflection timer, or postpone briefly with controlled limits.
Step 4
Unlock after confirmation
Once prayer is confirmed, the lock is removed and you continue with your day.
