So I made Better Prayer.
It’s a free (non profit) desktop prayer app that doesn’t just remind you when it’s time to pray, it can optionally lock your computer, making it much harder to keep putting prayer off.
You can unlock your screen by connecting your phone and taking a photo of your sink or bathroom. Local AI analyzes the image to verify that you got up from your computer to make wudu.
If you don’t like that idea, you can turn the feature off and simply use it as a normal prayer app with prayer times, reminders, prayer time notifications, fasting times, Quran verses, and Islamic events.
Background:
I spend most of my day programming, and my computer is usually the reason I lose track of time. I couldn’t find a prayer app that was actually built around that problem, so I decided to build one myself.
Better Prayer is completely free. There are no ads, subscriptions, or paid features.
I’d love any feedback, criticism, or ideas for improving it.
Thanks!
