Prayer clock
The five prayers on a 24-hour dial. The ring fills as the day passes, the prayer in progress is gilded, and the Hijri date sits in the middle. Sunrise is marked, but never gilded — it is not a prayer.
The whole day, on one quiet dial.
Noora puts the five prayers on a single 24-hour clock and then leaves you alone. No feeds, no streaks, no badge on the icon. It finds where you are, calculates the times the way your community does, and sends a simple alert when it is time.
In the app
Three screens. That is the whole of it.
Zikr
Tap anywhere to count the tasbih after prayer — SubhanAllah, Alhamdulillah, Allahu Akbar, thirty-three each. Every tap answers with a tick you can feel; finishing a cycle answers louder.
Qibla
A compass that turns you toward Mecca, degree by degree, and says so plainly when you are facing it.
Home-screen widgets
Seven ways to keep the times in sight.
Each widget carries its own motif and comes in more than one size. Kufic is free. The rest are premium, unlocked once inside the app — including any widget added later.

The particulars
Set to your practice, not ours.
- Calculation method
- Thirteen of them — Muslim World League, Egyptian General Authority, Karachi, Umm Al-Qura (Makkah), Dubai, Moon Sighting Committee, North America (ISNA), Kuwait, Qatar, Singapore, Turkey, Tehran, and Ja'fari (Leva Institute, Qum).
- Juristic method
- Two: Standard (Shafi, Maliki, Hanbali) and Hanafi. Asr moves with your choice.
- Notifications
- A reminder when each prayer time begins, in one of two lengths — a short alert or a long one.
- Friday
- One reminder a week: Jumu'ah Mubarak, and recite Surah Al-Kahf.
- Language
- Twelve: English, العربية, اردو, Bahasa Indonesia, Türkçe, Français, বাংলা, Bahasa Melayu, فارسی, Hausa, Kiswahili, हिन्दी.
- Sharing
- Five things to send on: the prayer-reminder video in your own language, and four cards — Kufic, Sama, Waqt and Tawaaf — each drawn to an image carrying your next prayer.
- Battery
- Very efficient. Noora wakes for a moment at each prayer time and does nothing in between — no background polling, no drain you would ever notice.
