Prayer Times and a Tasbih Counter That Never Track Where You Are
Most prayer apps want your location, show ads and send data you never see. Zikr (Tasbih & Prayer Times) works out the five times on your phone from a city you pick, and keeps your counts in your own browser.

The problem
Prayer times, the Qibla and a tasbih are things many people use every day, yet popular apps often ask for permanent location access, fill the screen with ads and share data with other companies. You should not have to be tracked to know when Maghrib is. At the same time, a website cannot sound the adhan when it is closed, and every calculation method differs by a few minutes, so an honest app has to say clearly what it can and cannot do.
How Zikr (Tasbih & Prayer Times) works
- Open Zikr and search for your city, or type the latitude and longitude. There is no GPS button and no location permission prompt.
- Today shows Fajr, Sunrise, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha, a countdown to the next one and the Hijri date. Pick a method (Kemenag, Muslim World League, Umm al-Qura, ISNA or Egyptian) and Shafi or Hanafi Asr.
- The tasbih is one huge tap target. Choose 33, 99, 100 or a free count; your phone can vibrate on each tap and when you reach the goal.
- Open Qibla to see the angle from North and the distance to the Kaaba. Tap Use compass only if you want the needle to turn with your phone.
What you get
- Prayer times worked out on your deviceTimes come from the position of the sun for your date and place, in the time zone of that place. Five methods are built in, Asr can follow the Shafi or Hanafi school, and high latitudes use the one-seventh-of-the-night rule.
- A tasbih that never loses a countTap as fast as you like: every tap is saved, and undo takes back one. Goals of 33, 99, 100 or none. Free keeps one goal; Pro adds several named goals and a daily history.
- Qibla with or without a compassThe angle from North is always shown. The compass is optional, asks permission only when you tap it, and can be wrong near metal or magnets.
- A Hijri date you can adjustThe Hijri date is an estimate. Move it a day either way to match your local announcement, including the start of Ramadan.
- Reminders in your own calendarPro adds the next 30 days of prayer times as a calendar file. Your calendar app does the alerting: Zikr never sends notifications and does not play the adhan.
Private by design
Zikr does everything in your browser. The city you pick and your counts stay on this device; there is no account, no automatic location, no ads and no analytics, and nothing is sent to us. Only when you type a Pro key is that key checked with our licence server. Because there is no server copy, clearing site data or losing the phone without a backup file loses your counts. Back up from Settings; Pro can encrypt the backup with a passcode.
Free vs Pro
FAQ
Is Zikr free?
Yes. Tasbih, prayer times, Qibla and the Hijri date are free, forever, in 15 languages. Pro is $1 once, not a subscription, with a 7-day refund.
Does Zikr use my location?
No. You pick a city from the built-in list or type coordinates, and they are saved only in your browser. Zikr never asks for GPS.
How accurate are the times?
They are estimates and can differ by a few minutes from your mosque or the official calendar. The start of Ramadan and Eid follows the local announcement, so please follow it.
Will it play the adhan or notify me when it is closed?
No. A web app cannot do that reliably. Pro gives you a calendar file, and your own calendar app sounds the reminders.
What does Pro add?
Reminders for 30 days as a calendar file, a Ramadan streak with a shareable 30-day card, several named dhikr goals with a daily history, two extra themes and encrypted backups. One payment of $1.
Does it work without internet?
Yes. After the first visit it runs offline, and nothing is sent anywhere.
