About Sajda

Sajda is an iPhone and iPad app for Muslims who get pulled away from prayer by their phones. It tracks prayer times and lets you pick which apps to block. When prayer time begins those apps lock, and they open again once you mark the prayer as complete. The idea is a simple boundary around salah, replacing willpower with an automatic rule.

It is aimed at Muslims who lose focus around prayer time, want less screen time around salah, find it hard to pray on time or simply want a prayer-focused app blocker. Other features include a Qibla compass inside the app, emergency-access options that can be adjusted, app-blocking preferences you can customize and a choice of Adhan calculation methods. The interface is offered in several languages, including Arabic. The app is free to download and offers monthly and yearly auto-renewing subscriptions through the App Store, with a 7-day free trial on the yearly plan.
