# Hayya: Muslim prayer times app

> Hayya is a free Muslim prayer times app for iPhone, Android, Apple Watch and Wear OS. At each of the five daily prayers (Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, Isha) the phone rings like an incoming phone call, full screen with a real ringtone, and calls again a few minutes later until you answer or the time for that prayer ends. Answering logs the prayer. It has no ads, no account and no tracking, works offline, and is available in 9 languages.

Hayya is for people who want to pray on time and keep missing prayers because an ordinary notification or adhan is easy to swipe away. It works as a salah, salat or namaz alarm that is hard to sleep through, including for Fajr. Anyone who would rather not be rung can switch any prayer to a single quiet notification.

## Features

- Prayer calls that ring like a phone call, with 5 call styles and their own ringtones, or your own sound. On iOS 26 the call fills the lock screen and rings like a Clock alarm, even in silent mode.
- Calls back until you answer or the prayer's time ends. Snooze works once per prayer. Declining asks for a reason, or can call back in 20 to 60 minutes.
- Fajr duʿā gate: the Fajr alarm can keep ringing until you say the waking-up duʿā out loud.
- The full adhan after answering, from 4 recordings (Abdul Basit Abdus Samad, the Grand Mosque in Makkah, the Prophet's Mosque in Madinah, a single voice). Fajr plays the Fajr adhan.
- Adhkar checklists: morning, evening, before sleep, and after every prayer. Tap each card when said, or tap to count for dhikr said 33 times. Finishing a list drops confetti.
- Adhkar reminders for morning, evening and before sleep at times you choose, and after each prayer.
- 39 duʿās with Arabic, transliteration, meaning and source, searchable by name, meaning or Arabic. Most can be heard recited.

- Tap a prayer once to mark it prayed, twice for prayed late. A streak, and six months of prayers as a grid.
- Pause prayers during your period without breaking the streak.

- Home screen and lock screen widgets on iPhone and Android.
- Apple Watch app and complications; Wear OS app, tile, and prayer calls on the wrist.
