Awda shield screen — apps paused for Asr

Most of us don’t miss Salah on purpose. It isn’t lack of faith — it’s the noise.

The Adhan rings once. The feed never stops. Awda quiets it.

Five times a day, automatically

The Adhan calls. The feed waits.

The Awda shield rises over the feed at prayer time

When Maghrib arrives at --:--, your chosen apps lock behind the shield — until you’ve prayed.

How it works

Three quiet steps.

1
Open

Salah time arrives. Your distracting apps pause behind the shield. Open Awda.

2
Pray

Pray with presence — nothing to scroll back to. Mark your Salah with one tap.

3
Unlock

Your apps return. Your streak grows. The feed can wait — it always could.

Everything else

Quiet by design.

App blocking

Locks at the OS level.

Built on Apple’s Screen Time API — no willpower required.

Qada tracker

Missed prayers, gently counted.

Log what you owe and watch the number fall, not your spirits.

Streaks & insights

See the pattern. Fix what slips.

Awda notices which prayers you miss most — and when.

Menstrual mode

Pause without breaking anything.

Excused days don’t touch your streak. Designed with dignity.

Hijri calendar

Both calendars, one glance.

Islamic dates beside your own, with smart prayer reminders.

Six languages

Yours, most likely.

English, العربية, Français, Deutsch, Türkçe, Bahasa Indonesia.

Questions

Asked, answered.

How does the blocking actually work?

Awda uses Apple’s Screen Time framework to pause the apps you choose at each prayer window — at the system level, not an overlay you can swipe away.

What if I genuinely need my phone?

Calls, messages, maps and every app you didn’t select keep working. For true emergencies, there’s an Emergency Unblock — deliberate enough that the feed never qualifies.

Does it account for menstruation?

Yes. Menstrual mode excuses prayers for that period without breaking your streak or your history — quietly and privately.

Will the prayer times match my city and method?

Awda calculates times for your exact location and lets you choose your calculation method and adjust each prayer manually.

Is my prayer data private?

Your Salah log stays on your device. No ads, no tracking, no selling. It’s between you and your Lord.
