I launched Still Heart, an Islamic meditation app

Salaam everyone,

I’ve launched Still Heart, an Islamic meditation app designed to help Muslims feel calmer, refreshed, and closer to Allah while staying grounded in authentic Islamic teachings.
Some of the features include:
Guided Islamic meditations
Authentic stories from the Quran and Sunnah
Du’a sessions for different situations
Sessions for sleep, grief, anxiety, pregnancy, parenthood, and everyday life
Gentle movement and breathing exercises
Prayer times
Offline listening
Longer journeys, including a prenatal series and a series for men
I’ve put a lot of care into the content, design, and overall experience. I’d love to know if this is something you would be interested in using. I’m also open to honest feedback and suggestions.

I built a chore app for Muslim families — looking for 5 parents to test one 10-minute flow

Assalamu alaikum — I’m the founder of ChoresFlow. I built it because most family chore apps handle points and rewards, but don’t connect everyday responsibility with the rhythms and values of a Muslim home.

This isn’t another prayer-times app. The core is a family chore board with kid PIN access, points and rewards, plus prayer times visible beside the routines you schedule.

I’m not looking for compliments or a big launch. I’m looking for five parents who can spend about 10 minutes testing one specific flow:

  1. Create a family account

  2. Add one child

  3. Assign two chores

  4. Tell me the first moment that felt confusing, unnecessary, or untrustworthy

There’s a 14-day free trial; no card is needed to test the setup flow.

Test it here: https://www.choresflow.com/signup?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=community&utm_campaign=proof_sprint&utm_content=muslimdevelopers_beta

I’ll share what I learn and what I change. Honest criticism is much more useful than encouragement at this stage. Jazakum Allahu khayran.

I got tired of ads interrupting my Qur’an recitation, so I spent the last few months building my own free Qur’an app.

Assalamu alaikum

One thing that has bothered me for a long time with Qur’an and Islamic apps is the advertising.

You open an app because you want to read the Qur’an, listen to a recitation, or just have a quiet moment — and suddenly there is an ad in the middle of it.

And sometimes the ads have absolutely nothing to do with Islam — or, Allah forbid, may even contain inappropriate or even haram content.

Of course, developers need to support their apps somehow, and I understand that. But with many Qur’an and Islamic apps, the only way to remove the ads is to pay for a subscription — and those subscriptions are often very expensive.

For something you may want to use every single day just to read or listen to the Qur’an, I never felt that should be the only option.

I kept thinking that I just wanted a Qur’an app I could open without worrying about any of that.

No ads while reading or listening.
No expensive subscription just to remove them.
No features locked behind a paywall.

So over the last few months, I started building the Qur’an app I wanted to use myself.

It’s called Ayah Player, and it is completely free: no ads, no subscriptions, and no paywalls.

It now has more than 1,000 Qur’an reciters, and I’ve just released version 1.7, which is the biggest update so far.

📖 Four ways to read and listen

You can choose between four different Qur’an views:

  • Ayahs — Arabic text with translations, tafsir, notes, repeating, and reader tools
  • Words — follow the recitation word-by-word when timing is available
  • Mushaf Page — read using a fixed-page Qur’an presentation
  • Listening Scene — focus on the recitation with calm visual scenes and optional ambient sound

Depending on the selected recitation, Ayah Player can follow along ayah-by-ayah, word-by-word, or even letter-by-letter.

🎧 Listening & offline use

You can browse by reciter or Surah, stream complete recitations, download them for offline listening, listen in the background, and manage your playback queue.

The app also includes translations, downloadable translations, tafsir, bookmarks, private notes, playlists, ayah folders, repeating, Qur’an search, and Ayah Card sharing.

📊 Quran Activity

Version 1.7 introduces Quran Activity, including:

  • Listening and reading progress
  • Daily goals
  • Qur’an reading plans
  • Total listening time
  • Top reciters
  • Most-played Surahs

🔐 Optional Ayah Account

You do not need an account to browse, read, listen, or download anything.

If you choose to sign in, Ayah Account can synchronize things like bookmarks, notes, favorite reciters and recitations, playlists, ayah folders, selected settings, and your last-read position across supported devices.

Activity is only recorded while signed in, while things like downloads, searches, raw recent playback, and other device-specific data remain on your device.

Ayah Player is available on iPhone, iPad, Android phones, and Android tablets.

iOS:

Android:

Website:
https://ayahapps.com/player

30-sec preview video:
https://youtube.com/shorts/ZF2uHKbi3i0

I’m still actively working on it, so if you try it, I’d genuinely appreciate any feedback — especially about the new reader views, Mushaf Page, Listening Scene, recitation tracking, and Quran Activity.

May Allah accept it, forgive its shortcomings, and make it beneficial.

I just launched my Islamic sobriety app. Here are the technical and ethical decisions that shaped it

Salam devs 👋 Hope you guys are all doing good,

I just recently launched Hayaa, an app helping muslims quit pornography addiction and other compulsive habits, live on iOS and Android. This was primarily a solo build, but I had a small team also supporting me and it was about a year total of work. I made this post because I'd like to share the decisions that might be useful to anyone building something for the ummah:)

Stack I used: React Native + Expo Go (TypeScript), Supabase (Postgres + RLS), RevenueCat for subscriptions, Aladhan API for prayer times, Sentry for crash reporting, and EAS for the build pipeline

Decisions I refused to compromise with no matter what: There is NO AI-generated Islamic content ever. Every verse, hadith, and dua is served from a verified database with Arabic, English, source citation, and translator credit. If any content lookup fails the app hard errors instead of letting anything generate a verse. In the category I'm in a single fabricated hadith destroys all trust permanently so you never go against this rule.

Privacy shaped the schema: row level security (RLS) on everything, accountability partners can only see streak count and last check-in, never relapse history or journals. When your users are hiding something this sensitive and taboo, data minimization isnt a quality of life feature its literally the entire product.

Schools of thought at the data layer: All content is tagged universal/sunni/shia and filtered by RLS based on the users profile. There's no need for separate UIs its just one codebase serving all traditions respectfully. I don't believe just because you're in a different school of thought you deserve different treatment. We're all brothers and sisters fighting the same fight.

Monetization ethics: The core app is entirely free and I don't think I will ever change that. Money is secondary, helping Muslims is the primary. There is an optional premium subscription that I have setup via RevenueCat. I believe it is free until your first 3k or 100k I forgot LMAO.

Ask me anything about the stack, App Store review for sensitive categories (fun stories there), or building solo for a taboo niche

Qibla Lens, a qibla app and Quran (test exchange)

I made a qibla direction app. The gimmick is it uses your camera, so you point your phone at the ground in front of you and it overlays an arrow showing exactly which way the Kaaba is. No maps, no figuring out which way is north first. Just point and pray.

I built it because I travel a lot for work and I always hated fumbling with a compass app in a hotel room. This just feels obvious once you try it.

It works offline, it recalibrates based on your location, and there's no account, no ads, no tracking. Just the app.

To join:

  1. Google Group (Google requires it): https://groups.google.com/g/qibla-lens-testers

  2. Opt in here: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.sacredpath.qiblalens

  3. App page: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sacredpath.qiblalens

One thing, please actually keep it installed for 14 days. I know it's annoying, I'm stuck with the same 14 day rule as everyone else here 😅

And yeah, I'll test your app too. Drop your link below and I'll install it today and keep it for the full 14 days. We all need those 12 testers.

Why Do Muslims Suck At Technology

Assalamu Alaykum.

I just launched my YouTube channel dedicated to figuring out a civilizational framework for technology from the Muslim world. My first video is a bit controversial but I wanted to lay out all of the questions that I want to get to the root of.

I'm a serial entrepreneur with multiple ventures under my belt. I've personally run into the limits of building out from Pakistan and come to the conclusion that the limits are entirely "internal" but not in the self-discipline sense. The video lays out the rest. My hope is to spark a conversation around the questions at the end.

I’m Looking to Invest—But Not in Another Islamic App

I’m an investor involved in real estate, apps, technology, and software. I’ve been following Muslim Reddit communities for a while because I’m genuinely interested in finding and investing in promising Islamic technology projects.

But honestly, I keep seeing the same pattern: another Islamic app built using AI coding, with a post claiming it is the “best” Islamic app.

There are already thousands of Islamic apps. Most offer essentially the same core features — prayer times, Qibla, Quran, Hadith, Duas, etc.

I recently saw someone post that they had been working on an Islamic app for four months. After reading the post, the main thing I could identify was that the UX/UI was supposedly unique. But I didn't see a meaningful feature or a significant problem being solved.

I'm not saying good design isn't important. It is. But design alone isn't enough to build a successful product, especially in such a saturated market.

With AI making app development easier and cheaper than ever, the number of people building apps is only going to increase. That means the real competitive advantage isn't simply being able to build an app anymore.

Please build something that solves a real problem.

Find something Muslims struggle with every day. Find a problem that existing apps aren't solving well. Then build something so useful that people genuinely have a reason to download it, use it, and recommend it.

As an investor, that's what I'm looking for — not another Islamic app, but a meaningful solution to a real problem in the Muslim community.

If someone builds that, I'd genuinely be interested in investing.

🆕 Quran ~ 13L Indopak ~ with features 👆🏻 rarely seen on this mushaf

céder au contenu principal

📖 quran.re — Read, listen to and follow the Qur'an (beta)

Assalamu alaykum 👋

I'd like to share a project close to my heart: quran.re, a website to read the Qur'an online, free and with no sign-up, on phone 📱, tablet and computer 💻.

🎯 The core idea

To showcase the 13-line (Indo-Pak) Mushaf — a version widely used for reading and memorisation, yet sadly under-represented online. The other editions usually get all the features; here, it's the star. And since every edition has "their own" mushaf, I've gathered several editions 📚 so each person can find the one they're used to reading.

✨ What you can do

• 📖 Read page by page, in single or double page

• 🎨 Pick from several editions (tajwid colours, etc.)

• 👆 Tap a verse to listen to it and see its translation

• 🎧 Listen to many reciters

• 🔁 Repeat a single verse or a whole passage — perfect for memorisation

• 🔖 Set bookmarks (down to the exact verse) and find your recent pages

• 🔍 Search for a word (in Arabic, transliteration or translation) — even by voice 🎙️

• 🔗 Share a link to a precise passage, with its settings (repetition, speed, reciter)

• 🌙 Dark mode, zoom, several interface languages (fr, en, ar, ur)

• 📲 Install it like an app and use it even offline (PWA Web app)

🚧 Coming soon

My next goal: let a teacher share a specific lesson with a student or a parent 👨‍🏫 — a given passage, with the chosen repetitions and settings. The child simply listens and follows along on their 13-line mushaf 👦📖. I also plan to turn the site into a real Android and iOS app (with capacitor).

Also adding highlights features and mutashabihat for houffadh).

⚠️ Good to know

This is a beta: not everything is perfect, and some features are still on the way. It's not a full tafsir app, and teacher → student sharing isn't finalised yet.

🙏 I need you

I'm fully open to your ideas, feedback and criticism. Try it, tell me what's missing, what's buggy, what could help students, parents and teachers.

👉 quran.re

👉 quran.re/beta 📍 (up to date with more features in test)

May Allah accept and make it easy 🤲

I’ve been building an all-in-one Islamic app called Sakinah — it’s launching soon, and I’m looking for early TestFlight testers 👀

Assalamu Alaikum everyone 👋

For the past while, I’ve been working on Sakinah, an Islamic app that I wanted to feel genuinely useful in everyday life — not just another app with prayer times and a Qibla compass.

The idea was to bring a lot of the things Muslims regularly use into one clean, modern app.

I’m finally getting close to launch, so I wanted to share some screenshots with you all. 📱

Some of the features currently inside Sakinah include:
🕌 Prayer Times & Qibla

Accurate prayer information, Qibla direction and tools for your daily salah.

📖 Islamic Content & Daily Reminders
Content designed to help you keep Islam present throughout your day.

🤖 Sakinah Companion
A companion built into the app to help you explore Islamic topics and find useful information.

🍽️** Halal Food Disc**overy
Find halal places and make discovering somewhere to eat easier.

✈️** Muslim Travel To**ols
Useful features for Muslims travelling or exploring somewhere new.

🤝 Friends & Community
Connect with other Muslims and make the app feel less like a utility and more like a community.

🌙 Hayd Tracker
A private, thoughtfully designed tracker specifically for Muslim women.

📱 Home Screen Widgets
Beautiful widgets designed to keep useful Islamic information visible without needing to constantly open the app.

🎮 Islamic Games & Learning
Interactive ways to learn more about Islam rather than just reading through pages of information.

…and there’s quite a bit more that I’ll be showing over the next few days.

I’d really like Reddit to be one of the first communities to try it.

Before the public App Store launch, I’m opening up a small early-access group through Apple TestFlight.

If you’d like to test Sakinah early:

👉 TestFlight Early Access: https://testflight.apple.com/join/ScKz4Ry2

You’ll get access before the public release, and I’d genuinely appreciate feedback on:

• bugs or things that don’t work as expected
• features you think are missing
• UI/UX improvements
• things you love or dislike
• features you’d want to see added next
I’m still actively developing it, so feedback at this stage can actually influence what makes it into the app.

The 12 images attached to this post are real screenshots from Sakinah so you can see what I’ve been building.

I’d also love to hear one thing from everyone here:

If you could add ONE feature to your ideal Islamic app, what would it be?

JazakAllahu Khairan to anyone who tests it, gives feedback, or even just takes the time to look through the screenshots. ❤️

Sakinah is launching very soon, insha’Allah.

[DEV] I'm 16 and I just launched my first Flutter app: "Muslim Guide" 🌙. It features a smart Khatma tracker and I'd love your feedback!

Hi everyone! 👋

I'm a 16-year-old developer, and I’m so excited to finally share a project I’ve been working on for the past year: Muslim Guide (دليل المسلم).

It started as a very simple idea, and over the last 12 months, I dedicated my time to learning Flutter and evolving it into a comprehensive app that I hope will truly benefit the Ummah.

What sets it apart?

Intelligent Khatma Tracker: It intelligently distributes your Quran goal across the 5 daily prayers, making it easy to finish your Khatma without stress.

Faith Pulse Dashboard: An interactive dashboard to visualize your spiritual growth and maintain your worship habits.

Curated Stories & Daily Content: A library of inspiring stories and daily renewed sunnahs.

Modern UI: A clean interface with full dark mode support.

As a young developer starting my journey, your feedback is the best reward I could get. Also, since I don't have a marketing budget, I would really appreciate it if you could help me share the app with your friends and family if you find it useful. Your support means everything to me!
