Compasses go wrong indoors. Hold your phone against any wall for a second, and Mihrab tells you exactly which way to face. Saved for every room.
Compasses go wrong indoors. Steel, wiring and electronics push them 10 to 30 degrees off, which matters when you pray. Mihrab finds the Qibla another way: from the walls around you.
Hold the back of your phone flat against any wall for a second. Mihrab reads your building's outline from OpenStreetMap, where walls are mapped from above to within about a degree, and the gyroscope records which wall you touched. Then it tells you exactly how to stand: "Face the wall you touched, then turn 23° to the right."
How it works
- Press your phone against a wall. The gyroscope records which way it faces, without relying on magnets.
- Mihrab finds your building on the map and knows which way its walls face.
- You get a simple instruction for the room, with a diagram, saved for next time.
Three ways to find the Qibla
- Wall: within about 2–3° inside any building mapped on OpenStreetMap.
- Sun: within about 1–2° when you can see the sun, through a window or outside.
- Live arrow: a full-screen arrow for anywhere. When it can only use the compass, it tells you the result is rough.
For every room
- Save your living room, office or hotel room. The answer stays correct, even without internet.
- Every result shows its accuracy, and how far off your phone's compass was.
Arabic and English
- Full Arabic interface with right-to-left layout and optional Arabic-Indic digits.
- Light and dark themes.
Private
- No account, no ads, no tracking.
- Your location is used to calculate the Qibla and is sent only to OpenStreetMap to look up the buildings around you. Saved rooms stay on your phone.
