Go Pray: Athan & Prayer Times
Salah App Blocker & Qibla
Only for iPhone
Free · Designed for iPhone. Not verified for macOS.
iPhone
Your apps lock at each Athan and open when you tap "I prayed". New in 1.2: find the Qibla in one tap, and take breaks up to 90 minutes. Free, no ads, no account.
Put your phone down for salah, five times a day.
A reminder is easy to swipe away. A locked app isn't.
At each Athan, Go Pray plays the Athan and locks the apps you choose. Pick a break from 10 to 90 minutes, then tap "I prayed" and your phone is yours again. Free, no ads, no account.
HOW IT WORKS
• Pick your city, your prayer method and one of 28 Athan voices.
• Choose the apps that stay open, like WhatsApp or Messages. Phone always works.
• At the Athan, your phone plays it and your other apps lock.
• Pick a break from 10 to 90 minutes. "I prayed" opens after it.
• Fajr and Maghrib breaks can end sooner, so you still have time to pray.
• Tap "I prayed" in Go Pray and everything opens again. May Allah accept it.
NEW: FIND THE QIBLA
• Tap the compass on Home and turn until the arrow points up. Now you're facing the Qibla.
• Your phone gives a soft tap when you're facing it.
• It works from the city you already set, so there's nothing new to allow.
YOU'RE NEVER STUCK
• Phone always works, so your family can always reach you.
• Forgot to tap "I prayed"? Your apps open on their own, at the latest when the prayer's time ends.
• 5 emergency exits a year, for the moments that can't wait. Press and hold, confirm, and your phone opens.
• Travelling, sick, or on your period? Pause Go Pray for a few days.
PRAYER MODE ON YOUR WIDGET
• Add Go Pray to your Home Screen or Lock Screen and see the next prayer at a glance.
• At the Athan it switches to prayer mode and counts down your break.
• When the break is over, one tap takes you straight to "I prayed".
IN ARABIC TOO
• Turn on Arabic display and the prayer names, times, Athan screens, Qibla and widget show in Arabic.
NO STREAKS, NO GUILT
• No streaks, no scores, no charts of missed prayers.
• Your prayer is between you and Allah. Go Pray only helps you put the phone down.
EASY FOR YOUR PARENTS
• Setup is a few simple steps, and you only do it once.
• Helping your mom or dad get started? There's nothing for them to learn. When the Athan plays, they pray, then open Go Pray and tap one button.
YOUR PRIVACY
• No account, no ads, no tracking. Go Pray collects nothing.
• Go Pray never sees which apps you pick or what you do in them.
• Your location stays on your phone.
ALSO ON MAC AND WINDOWS
• Free on both. Your computer pauses for the Athan too.
I made Go Pray for my parents, who love their phones like the rest of us. I hope it helps you and your family too.

• Find the Qibla. Tap the compass on Home and turn until the arrow points up. Nothing new to allow.
• The block screen now shows your next prayer.
• Longer breaks. Pick anywhere from 10 to 90 minutes.
• Prayer mode on your widget. It counts down your break, and one tap takes you to "I prayed".
• Fixed two lock bugs after a prayer time change: an app could stay open at the Athan, or the lock could open before your break was over.
