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.

Salaam everyone,
I've posted here before about building my own azan clock after years of frustration with the ones on the market. Wanted to write a fuller "here's where it actually stands now" post since a few people asked me to break down how it compares.
Before building Adhan Buddy I went through pretty much every major option out there. Al-Harameen, Alfajr, Masjidal, the generic imports on Amazon, all of it. Every single one won on maybe one thing and lost on everything else. Cheap ones looked cheap and had stale city code databases. The premium ones ($300+) looked nice but still needed apps or subscriptions. Nothing actually got the whole picture right.
Here's where I think we ended up actually winning across the board instead of trading one problem for another:
Accuracy. Prayer times are calculated on device from GPS, using the same astronomical math scholars have relied on for centuries. No city codes, no stale database, no DST breaking things twice a year.
Control. Every prayer gets its own volume and reciter, independently. Fajr quiet, Maghrib loud, whatever your house needs. Fajr auto plays the Fajr specific adhan without you having to configure anything.
No subscription, ever. No app, no account, one time payment. Felt genuinely wrong to me to charge people monthly just to hear the adhan.
Actually looks like it belongs in your home. Round touchscreen, not a plastic box you hide in a drawer. This mattered more than I expected once I had one sitting in my own kitchen.
Certified, not just imported. FCC/IC certified, which apparently a lot of competitors in this space quietly skip.
More than just an alarm. Full Quran (114 surahs, 38 reciters), 24/7 Quran radio, adhkar, Islamic calendar, wudu reminders. Wanted it to be something a Muslim home actually uses daily, not just five alarms.
Alhamdulillah, first batch of 250 sold out before I even finished the real launch, and we're sitting at 5.0 stars across 41 reviews right now. Still doesn't feel real for something I started building alone in my garage.
Not trying to turn this into a full ad, genuinely just grateful for where it landed after starting from "why does every option fail at something." Happy to answer anything, technical, design decisions, whatever, in the comments. Link's in my profile if anyone wants to see it.
After developing for 6 months, finally my app is live and it's a great feeling tbh.
The app mainly for Muslim community but I developed in a way that actually anyone can use it.
It basically turn your social media addictive into a reminder to read quran.
You can try it

Hi everyone, I’m a Tech Lead with some great contacts in Singapore, Vietnam, and a few African countries. I’m looking for ideas around the daily problems Umrah visitors face—problems that we could solve as a team through technology.
The goal isn’t to make huge amounts of money. We simply want to build something genuinely useful that can generate a fair income for the service we provide, while also allowing each of us to travel to the Haram more frequently or support others in being able to go and perform their Ibadah.
What do you think? What problems have you personally faced during Umrah that you think could be solved through a service or app?
Ok I know this can be a controversial topic, however, when Allah has clearly given permission in the Quran then I don't feel any discomfort or guilt in exploring it.
There is a huge need in the Ummah for women who for whatever reasons cannot find single men for nikah, they deserve a good religious man in their life to provide for them and protected their chastity. On the flip side, there are a lot of muslim men who can provide for more than 1 family Alhamdulliah.
Right now there is no mainstream app for finding polygamy spouse for muslims. I know this is a very complex niche to work with but also I strongly feel this can benefit Ummah in a good & lasting ways.
I'm sharing this to get thoughts from other brothers & sisters in the sub. I don't have any implementation details or plan ready yet but if you are interested in exploring together then I'm open for discussion.
my background: I'm a full stack software engineer currently growing a SaaS company.
The app needs to have clear UI buttons and Arabic and English UI elements for an elderly user someone with comprehension deficits to easily create these playlists of ayahs and surahs and be able to download recitation different scholar to be usable completely offline. Any suggestions. I like Ayah but its UX is complicated for the usofer type and the surah names are too small to read. Please suggest as I need to build my recitation playlist for a lot of prayers for various health reasons.
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.
You can choose between four different Qur’an views:
Depending on the selected recitation, Ayah Player can follow along ayah-by-ayah, word-by-word, or even letter-by-letter.
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.
Version 1.7 introduces Quran Activity, including:
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.

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.
Assalamou alaykoum wa rahmatoullahi wa barakatouh,
J’ai récemment créé une application islamique gratuite appelée Kile, disponible sur le Google Play Store.
L’application propose des activités ludiques pour apprendre le Coran, les noms d’Allah et d’autres connaissances islamiques. J’ai créé moi-même les contenus et ajouté les références utilisées, mais je souhaiterais bénéficier d’un regard extérieur.
Je recherche donc des personnes francophones ayant de bonnes connaissances de l’islam et qui accepteraient de vérifier :
\- l’exactitude des références utilisées ;
\- la justesse des activités et des réponses ;
\- la clarté des explications ;
\- les éventuelles erreurs ou améliorations à apporter.
Mon objectif n’est pas seulement de faire connaître l’application : je souhaite surtout recueillir des avis honnêtes et constructifs afin d’améliorer son contenu et de m’assurer qu’il est le plus fiable possible, incha’Allah.
L’application est gratuite et disponible ici :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kile.app
Si vous êtes intéressé(e) pour m’aider, vous pouvez laisser un commentaire ou m’envoyer un message privé. Je pourrai vous expliquer plus précisément les activités et les références à vérifier.
Jazakoum Allahou khayran pour votre aide et votre temps.
Assalamualaikum everyone.
Two years ago I started learning coding. I didn't have any background in it, so I wanted to learn by actually making something instead of just following tutorials.
I decided to make an Islamic app, and that became Islam24.
I started from basically nothing and just kept adding things as I learned. At the beginning the app was very simple and a lot of the code was honestly terrible 😂. As I learned more, I kept going back and rewriting things.
Somehow two years later I'm still working on the same project. It's changed a lot from what I originally started with, and now it's something I can actually consider a proper app rather than just a project I made while learning.
One thing I always wanted was for it to stay free and without ads. I also didn't want to collect people's data unnecessarily, so I tried to keep most things on the device and make an account completely optional.
I never really planned for this to become such a long-term project. I originally just wanted something to learn coding with.
Looking back, it's probably one of the best decisions I made when I started learning.

For years, edge AI has promised intelligence everywhere. In practice, most "edge AI" still means sending data to the cloud, relying on large Linux systems, or requiring expensive accelerator hardware.
SuperESP changes that.
Built on Atome LM v2, SuperESP transforms a standard ESP32 into a tiny AI appliance capable of running twelve practical applications entirely offline.
No GPUs.
No subscriptions.
No datacenter.
Just a microcontroller that costs less than a cup of coffee.
Every claim is verifiable and tied to a script.
What SuperESP Actually Is
SuperESP is not another chatbot squeezed onto a microcontroller.
It is a collection of specialized ternary AI models designed to classify events, patterns, behaviors, and anomalies directly on the device.

Hey everyone,
I have nearly 20 years of software development experience, mostly focusing on js for a long time. Over the years, whenever freelance projects popped up, I’ve also built mobile apps with Swift and written backends in php etc. I’d like to think I know what it actually takes to ship a finished product, it’s not just about writing code; it’s understanding business requirements, adhering to clean code standards, using tools like SonarQube, and monitoring or debugging live production environments.
However, since AI emerged, many of these traditional steps have started to feel redundant. I personally believe programming languages as we know them will eventually become obsolete and forgotten. AI will likely move toward something much closer to machine language.
For a while now, I wanted to build a fully working product at maximum speedpurely through "vibe coding" using AI agents, with zero self-imposed limitations or strict rules. The exact nature of the app didn't matter much to me; my primary goal was to experience end-to-end how efficient vibe coding actually is. To get to end-users as fast as possible, I targeted Google Play and the App Store using Flutter, aiming to have a fully working app live in 2 weeks.
I let AI agents handle the market research, competitor analysis, and product ideation. The AI suggested a home inspection app: users create a property, add areas, scan rooms using AI to generate a checklist, and export it as a PDF. The AI defined the scope, design, architecture, monetization, and literally wrote 100% of the code. My role was strictly human Qa testing flows and checking for security or financial vulnerabilities. True to the goal, the app went live on the App Store in just 2 weeks, and the Google Play release is right around the corner.
App Store link: https://apps.apple.com/ng/app/habiproof/id6797038152
The tools I used: ChatGPT (Sol 5.6), Claude Opus for planning and advisory, and Sonnet for code generation. I also used Gemini like a scratchpad for quick research, essentially replacing standard google searches.
I’m sure there are plenty of bugs to fix and areas to polish, but I intentionally ignored them to stick to the MVP scope. If needed, I might release updates later based on user feedback.
What really got me thinking is this: A few years ago, as a developer, all I needed was a laptop to build something from scratch. But after AI, I feel less like a pure builder and more like a consumer—or at least a creator with heavy dependencies.
I'll probably launch another app next week, maybe a variation of this one. The web has felt like a digital junkyard for a while now, and app stores are heading in the same direction. Sure, there are treasures hidden in junkyards, but I feel we’re slowly reaching the end of the traditional WWW and smartphone era as we know it.
What are your thoughts on building apps this way? How do you maintain long-term motivation in this new setup?
Salam alaikum
I’m gonna keep this short and concise
I am currently trying to do market research on a product that i haven’t found widely accessible in the market
it is essentially a sort of headband cushioned cover thing for the forehead that comes with gloves allowing people to pray their prayers regardless of the cleanliness of the floor they are on this is meant to be a viable alternative for when you cannot take a prayer mat with you
opinions, suggestions, constructive criticism etc. greatly appreciated
jazakum allah khair
Salam everyone 👋
This month I launched Hayaa, an Islamic sobriety app helping muslims quit pornography addiction. Writing this up because building a venture around a taboo problem comes with lessons I havent seen shared here
Why this market: the faith-based recovery space is proven, Covenant Eyes built a multimillion dollar business serving Christians for this exact problem. There are around 1.8 billion Muslims who are all equally faith motivated, and no credible Muslim equivalent exists. I think this isnt entering a crowded market, its a category gap hiding in plain sight because nobody wants to say the problem out loud
The taboo tax is real though. I found that Meta rejects ad creatives for this category so so often. People wont like, comment, or share anything about it publicly because its taboo. Paid acquisition is basically closed, so everything runs organically: your reddit presence, communities, ASO, and partnerships with dawah orgs and creators. If your venture touches something shameful make sure you guys include that price in your growth
Decisions im proud of Alhamdulillah: The app is free to download and use, the premium is optional. The SOS crisis button is never paywalled, I refuse to try and monetize someone mid-crisis. Whether this venture ends up becoming profitable or not, my main goal is to help my fellow brothers and sisters. That being said the app serves, men AND women equally when every competitor is men-only. And zero fabricated Islamic content, every verse, hadith, and dua in the app is verified with full citation, translator credited. In this category trust IS the product
The stack for the technical folks: React Native/Expo go, Supabase, RevenueCat, and the AI companion is built on very strict Claude prompting and parameters. I'm a solo founder with a small team and am self funded
