App Usage
How do I log my prayers?
On the "Daily Log" screen, simply tap the status button for each prayer to cycle through the states: 'Not Prayed' (default), 'Prayed', and 'Missed'. The app saves your selection automatically.
How do I change the date?
Click on the date displayed at the top of the "Daily Log" screen. A calendar will appear, allowing you to navigate to any date to view or log past prayers.
What is "Qasr"?
"Qasr" is the practice of shortening certain prayers (Dhuhr, Asr, and Isha) from 4 rak'ahs to 2 when traveling. You can enable Qasr for a specific prayer by using the toggle next to it before marking it as 'Prayed'.
What is the "Pending Qadha" list?
When you mark a prayer as "Missed," it is automatically added to your "Pending Qadha" list. This list, accessible via the tab at the bottom, helps you track all the prayers you need to make up, sorted by the earliest date.
How do I complete a Qadha prayer?
Go to the "Pending Qadha" tab. Once you have prayed a missed prayer, find it in the list and tap the "Mark as Qadha" button. This will remove it from the pending list and update the original entry in your daily log to 'Qadha'.
What happens if I use the app offline?
The app is designed to work seamlessly offline. Any changes you make while disconnected from the internet will be saved locally on your device and automatically synced with your account as soon as you are back online.
