Zikr Break includes a full Qibla finder that works anywhere on Earth and completely offline. It computes the great-circle bearing from your position to the Kaaba at 21.422487° N, 39.826206° E — the shortest path over the curve of the Earth, which is the direction the scholars specify, not the straight line you would draw on a flat map.
A true-north dial that rotates as you turn. The Kaaba marker sits at the exact bearing, the app tells you to turn left or right by how many degrees, and your phone gives a short vibration the moment you are facing the Qibla.
An orthographic globe drawing the real curved great-circle path from where you stand to Makkah, with your distance to the Kaaba in kilometres. No map tiles are downloaded — the globe is drawn from pure geometry, so it works with no internet.
A live camera view with the Qibla marker overlaid on the world in front of you. Turn until the Kaaba sits in the centre of the screen — useful in an unfamiliar room, a hotel, or outdoors where you have no reference point.
A dual calendar where every day cell carries both the Gregorian and the Hijri date, so you never have to hold two calendars in your head. Lay the grid out by Gregorian months (the months you plan in) or Hijri months (the months Islamic life actually runs on).
Zikr Break stays focused on the daily habit: remembrance, prayer and attention. Four subjects deserve more than a side feature, so each has its own dedicated app, linked from the Explore screen.
A clean, distraction-free Quran reader with translation and recitation — the habit Zikr Break keeps reminding you about.
Get it on Google Play →Work out inheritance shares under Ilm al-Farāʾid — the Quranic fixed shares, residuary heirs and the special cases — in exact fractions, not rounded decimals.
Open Mirath →Plan income, spending, savings and zakat in a way that keeps your wealth halal and intentional — for your household and your business.
Open IncomeWise →Keep silat ar-rahm alive — who you have not called, whose news you have missed, and the ties worth mending.
Open Family →The first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah are the most virtuous days of the year. Hajj 2026 (1447 AH) was confirmed by Saudi authorities as 1 Dhul-Hijjah = 18 May 2026, with the Day of Arafah on 26 May 2026 and Eid al-Adha from 27 May 2026. Hajj 2027 (1448 AH) is expected around mid-May 2027 (subject to moon sighting). Zikr Break reads the Islamic calendar automatically and switches its reminders, du'as and Quran prompts to match the season — Ramadan, the first 10 of Dhul-Hijjah, Arafah, Eid, Jumu'ah, Muharram and Ashura — for pilgrims and non‑pilgrims alike, every single year.
The greatest day of the year. The Prophet ﷺ said fasting on Arafah expiates the sins of the previous year and the one to come (Sahih Muslim). The app reminds non-pilgrims to fast and opens the most-accepted hour of du'a (Asr → Maghrib).
The Festival of Sacrifice. Eid prayer, takbeer, sacrifice (Qurbani), feeding the poor, and three days of Tashreeq follow. A dedicated Eid Companion appears in-app for the occasion.
"Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, La ilaha illa Allah, wa Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar wa lillah il-hamd." The app reminds you to recite the takbeer throughout these blessed days.
Fasting any of the first nine days carries enormous reward. The 9th — the Day of Arafah — is the most beloved for non-pilgrims, and the app times the reminder to the day.
Tap Qibla on the Zikr Break dashboard, allow location once, then hold your phone flat and turn slowly. The dial rotates to true north, the Kaaba marker shows the Qibla, and the phone vibrates when you are facing it. Globe view shows the great-circle path to Makkah; Camera view overlays the marker on the live view. It works offline.
Zikr Break shows it at the top of the dashboard next to the Gregorian date — tap the date chip to open the full dual calendar. The Islamic Calendar screen also converts any date both ways, Gregorian to Hijri and Hijri to Gregorian.
No. The bearing is computed on your device from your coordinates and the Kaaba's, with no map tiles and no server calls. Install the app once and it works with no connection at all — and if GPS is off, pick your city from the built-in offline list.
It sends gentle, intelligently-timed Islamic reminders (Salah, Zikr, Quran, Sadaqah, Kindness) to your Android phone — over any other app — so you scroll less and remember Allah more.
Yes. Zero cost, zero account, zero third-party trackers, zero personal-data collection. Only anonymous aggregate analytics (no cookies, no PII) for app improvement.
Fully. Install the PWA once, and every page, animation, hadith, du'a, and counter works without internet. Notifications still fire from your device's clock.
Use Profile → Download backup to save a JSON file. Open Zikr Break on the new phone, choose Restore from backup, and your streaks, tasks, journal and badges all return.
Yes. The app uses the Hijri calendar to detect Ramadan (with mercy/forgiveness/refuge phases), the first 10 days of Dhul-Hijjah, Day of Arafah, both Eids, Muharram, Ashura, Sha'ban and Rajab — and adjusts its messages accordingly.
Each reminder is weighted by time of day (Fajr-hour vs late night), day of the week (Jumu'ah amplifies Quran reminders), your current mood (low → Quran for peace; great → sadaqah), your self-reported struggles, your prayer streak, and the Hijri date — so what arrives next is what you actually need next.
An hour disappears every evening in reels. Anti-scrolling reminders + Focus Mode interrupt the loop gently.
Students and young professionals trying to anchor prayer, Quran and meaningful work without burning out.
When you log a low mood, the app surfaces peace + Quran + Hasbunallahu wa ni'mal wakeel.
Ramadan, Hajj, Eid — the app auto-detects and shifts its tone. Gentle, never shaming.
The maths is exact: Zikr Break computes the great-circle (initial) bearing to the Kaaba at 21.422487°N, 39.826206°E — the shortest path over the curve of the Earth, which is the direction the scholars specify. The limiting factor is your phone's magnetometer, not the calculation. That is why the app shows an honest accuracy indicator combining GPS uncertainty with compass sensor quality, and tells you when to recalibrate rather than silently showing a wrong heading. If your phone has no compass at all, the exact bearing in degrees is still displayed so you can use a physical one.
Yes, in both directions. The Islamic Calendar screen has a two-way converter, and the whole calendar is dual — every day cell shows the Gregorian and Hijri number together. It uses the tabular (civil) Islamic calendar layered with Saudi-confirmed month starts, so the app agrees with the dates announced for Ramadan, the Eids, Hajj and Ashura.
Those live in dedicated companion apps linked from the Explore screen, because each deserves to be done properly rather than bolted on. Mirath calculates Islamic inheritance shares in exact fractions; IncomeWise handles personal and business Islamic finance including zakat; Family keeps silat ar-rahm alive; and a dedicated Quran Reader handles full Quran reading with translation and recitation.
Yes. No ads, no subscriptions, no in-app purchases, no signup. The only telemetry is anonymous aggregate analytics via Vercel (page views, install rate, page-load speed) — no cookies, no IP tracking, no personal identifiers. Your tasks, prayers, journal and mood logs never leave your device.
Yes, once you install the PWA and grant notification permission. The app schedules a batch of upcoming notifications and delivers them through Background Sync and Periodic Background Sync, so they fire from your phone's OS even with the app fully closed — appearing over whichever other app you're using.
Open zikrbreak.com in Chrome. After a few seconds of engagement you'll see an "Install App" prompt — tap it. Or use the browser menu → "Install app" / "Add to Home Screen".
Open zikrbreak.com in Safari, tap the Share button (the square with the up arrow), then "Add to Home Screen". iOS PWA notification support is more limited than Android, but in-app reminders work identically.
Your personal data — tasks, prayers, streaks, mood, journal, zikr counts — stays only on your device. Nothing personal is ever sent anywhere. The only telemetry is anonymous aggregate analytics via Vercel: total page views, PWA install events, and Web Vitals (page-load speed). These contain no cookies, no IP address storage, no personal identifiers, no fingerprinting. You can export your private state any time from Profile → Backup & Restore.
Vercel Analytics is privacy-by-design (GDPR-compliant). It records anonymous aggregate metrics — which pages get visited, how many times reminders fire by category, how many people install the PWA — without ever storing who you are. No cookies are set, no cross-site tracking happens, and we cannot identify any individual user. We use this only to know which features people use so we can improve them.
Day 3 of all-5-prayers streak: 2 rakat Nafl-e-Hajat with Dhuhr. Day 7: 2 rakat Nafl-e-Shukr after Maghrib. Day 14: 2 rakat Nafl-e-Tawbah after Isha. Day 21: an intro to Tahajjud. Each rung unlocks an Adopter badge once you mark it performed.
Yes — Profile → Reminder intensity → Light (every 4h), Medium (every 90 min) or Strong (every 35 min), with ±20% jitter. Plus custom AM/PM quiet hours and toggleable categories.
Because most of us need a break from the algorithm and a break for remembering Allah. The app is named after that pause.
