Time4Salat

What if your phone could tell you exactly when to pray, no matter where you are on Earth?

Time4Salat is your intelligent, offline-capable prayer time companion that calculates accurate Islamic prayer schedules based on your precise GPS location. Whether you're traveling, living in a city with varying daylight hours, or simply need a reliable tool that works without constant internet access, this app delivers instant, location-aware prayer timings with multiple calculation methods to match your local tradition.

Core Functionality & Tools

The app uses your device's built-in GPS sensors to determine your exact coordinates and then applies your chosen calculation method from a comprehensive library of scholarly algorithms. You can select from standard methods like Umm al-Qura, Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), Muslim World League, Egyptian General Authority, University of Islamic Sciences Karachi, and many regional variants. The app automatically adjusts for daylight saving time, high-latitude twilight conditions, and seasonal variations in the sun's declination.

• Offline GPS-based prayer time calculation – Works without active internet connection after initial location fix, using cached coordinates for daily updates.
• Multiple scholarly calculation methods – Choose from 15+ standard algorithms including Hanafi and Shafi'i adjustments for Asr prayer timing.
• Real-time Qibla direction compass – Integrated magnetic compass with true north correction shows the exact bearing to Mecca from your current position.
• Customizable notification schedules – Set distinct reminders for Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha with adjustable advance warning times.
• Daylight saving time auto-detection – Automatically adjusts prayer times when your device detects DST changes in your timezone.
• High-latitude twilight adaptation – Applies special rules for regions above 48° latitude where twilight conditions vary drastically across seasons.
• Widget support for home screen – Display next prayer time and countdown directly on your Android launcher without opening the app.
• 12-hour and 24-hour time format – Toggle between AM/PM and military time displays based on your preference.

Key Advantages Over Generic Prayer Apps

Time4Salat focuses on reliability and precision rather than flashy graphics or social features. The core advantage is its true offline functionality – once you've set your location, the app calculates all prayer times locally without requiring server calls. This makes it ideal for travelers in areas with poor connectivity, underground commuters, or users concerned about data privacy.

The calculation method library is exceptionally comprehensive, covering virtually every major Islamic authority worldwide. You can even fine-tune the Asr time between the Shafi'i (standard shadow length) and Hanafi (double shadow length) schools. The Qibla compass uses your device's magnetometer with calibration guidance, ensuring accuracy even in urban environments with magnetic interference.

Technical Disclaimer

This application requires an active GPS signal for initial location determination and may use a mobile data connection for map tile downloads and calculation method updates. Prayer time accuracy depends on device sensor calibration and satellite visibility. In-app purchases are available for additional calculation methods and premium notification features. Continuous use of GPS in the background can significantly decrease battery life.
