Choosing a prayer app
Which prayer app is right for you?
SalahMate, Pillars, Muslim Pro, Athan and Everyday Muslim all help you keep up with salah, in different ways. Start with what you're finding hard, and pick the app built for it.
Start with what you need
- "I keep sleeping through Fajr."SalahMate. Its Fajr alarm keeps ringing until you get up and log Fajr. How it works
- "I pick up my phone at prayer time and lose track."SalahMate. It can lock Instagram, TikTok or any app you choose until you've prayed. How it works
- "I'd pray more with someone keeping me on track."SalahMate's private circles, or Everyday Muslim's prayer groups with chat.
- "I just want a simple, private tracker."Pillars. Clean, ad-free and focused on privacy.
- "I want Quran, Qibla and duas in the same app."Muslim Pro or Athan.
- "I want to build Sunnah habits, not just salah."Everyday Muslim.

Is SalahMate right for you?
It's a good fit if you…
- know the prayer times but still miss prayers, especially Fajr
- lose time on your phone when it's time to pray
- want to see your progress honestly: on time, late, excused or missed
- want a few trusted people praying alongside you
Pick something else if you…
- want Quran or Qibla in the same app: try Muslim Pro or Athan
- use an iPhone: SalahMate is Android only for now
You can also use both. Keep your usual app for azan, Quran or Qibla, and add SalahMate for tracking, the Fajr alarm and focus mode. Turn off prayer reminders in one of them so you don't get two.
Price
SalahMate is free to download. Prayer times, reminders, logging, the journal, streaks, one circle and app blocking are all free, with no ads.
SalahMate Pro is USD $4.99 a month or $34.99 a year. It adds the Smart Fajr alarm, longer reminder windows, flexible app-blocking times and unlimited circles. Prices may differ in your country.
