Qari: Prayer Times & Quran

iydo

About this app

Qari tells you when to pray and reads the Quran to you. That is the whole app.

PRAYER TIMES THAT ARE YOURS
Times are worked out on your phone from where you are standing — not fetched from a server, not averaged over a city. Fifteen calculation methods, both Asr opinions, and a per-prayer minute offset so it can be made to agree with your masjid's timetable exactly.

AN ADHAN THAT DOES NOT NEED A SIGNAL
Every call is scheduled by your phone, days ahead. No network, no push, no account. It rings in a basement and on a flight. Choose the call, choose which prayers ring, and set a reminder however many minutes ahead you like.

THE WHOLE QURAN, ON THE DEVICE
All 114 surahs with translation, and the 604-page mushaf with real page turns. The entire text is inside the app — no download, no signal needed to read. Bookmarks, a continue-where-you-left-off card, and a share card that makes an ayah into a picture worth sending.

RECITATION
Dozens of reciters, verse by verse, with repeat, sleep timer and playback speed. It keeps playing with the screen off.

THE QIBLA
A compass dial that locks when you are on the bearing, and a shadow method for when the metal in a building is lying to the magnetometer.

ON YOUR HOME SCREEN
A home-screen widget with the next prayer counting down.

AND THE REST
Hijri date, the day's sun path drawn as it actually runs, a zakat calculator that works out the nisab and then sends you to a charity directly, and a Ramadan-ready Fajr call.

NO ACCOUNT, NO ADS, NO TRACKING
Qari has no idea who you are and is built so that it cannot find out. Your location is used on the device and never leaves it. There is no server to send it to.

WITH THANKS
The Quran text and both translations come from Tanzil. The adhan was recorded in Doha and released to the public domain. Recitation is streamed from EveryAyah — every recitation belongs to the qari who gave it, and Qari claims no right in any of it.
