Nafs Guard

🌟 Key Features

🕌 Prayer Timetable & Reminders

Real-time accurate Salat timings calculated locally based on your geographic location, ensuring you never miss a prayer.

🔒 Automatic Screen Blocker (Salat Lock)

Once a prayer time begins, Nafs Guard places a calm, non-intrusive full-screen overlay over your phone. It temporarily locks access to apps, allowing you to disconnect from the digital world and connect with Allah.

🔕 Do Not Disturb (DND) Integration

Automatically silences incoming ringing calls and notifications during Salat to protect your focus and maintain silence in the Masjid.

Note: The prayer lock can be minimized during critical incoming calls when necessary.

🌐 Local Content Filtering (DNS Blocker)

Locally blocks distracting or explicit websites during designated prayer windows to prevent cognitive distraction, helping you remain focused throughout your worship.

⚙️ Flexible Tuning (Offsets)

Adjust prayer calculation methods, madhab rules, and individual prayer time offsets to match your local mosque's schedule.

🛡️ Built for Privacy & Security

🔐 100% Local Processing

🚫 No Ads

🔋 Low Battery Overhead

Optimized background scheduling minimizes battery consumption while ensuring prayer reminders and protection activate precisely on time.
