Salah Companion
A daily Islamic companion: prayer times, the Qibla and the Qur'an.
Salah Companion brings together the four things Muslims reach for most (accurate prayer times, a reliable Qibla direction, the full Qur'an and timely reminders) in one interface that stays out of the way.
It is a non-profit project: free for everyone, with no ads and no selling of your data. Designed in an “Obsidian & Gold” style with high-contrast, easy-to-read typography, it works on phones, tablets and the web, and installs as a native app on iOS and Android.
