Niyat is your daily Muslim companion. Read and listen to the Quran, keep up with prayer, fall asleep to recitation, and put an ayah between you and the apps that steal your time. Everything you need for a steady practice, in one calm place.
AYAH LOCK
Pick the apps that pull you in. When you open one, Niyat asks you to read an ayah first. Read it, and the app opens. Once a day or every time, your choice. A few seconds of Quran before the scroll, every day.
FALL ASLEEP TO THE QURAN
Choose a surah, set the sleep timer, and end the night with recitation instead of a feed. Word-by-word highlighting during the day, a gentle fade at night.
WAKE UP FOR FAJR
A Fajr alarm built for the hardest prayer. Set it before or after Fajr, choose recitation, a chime, or a rising tone, and turn on the ten-step walk if you need help getting out of bed.
PRAYER TIMES THAT FOLLOW YOU
Accurate, location-based times for Fajr through Isha, a countdown to the next prayer, reminders before each one, and a Qibla compass for wherever you are.
READ AND FINISH THE QURAN
Read with translation and transliteration. Set a khatm goal and finish at your own pace, with your place saved and your progress in view.
LISTEN AND FOLLOW ALONG
Recitation from renowned reciters, with every word highlighted as it is recited. Play it on the commute, in the kitchen, or in the evening.
AN AYAH ON YOUR LOCK SCREEN
Start the day with a verse. Lock screen and home screen widgets, prayer wallpapers, and a daily ayah that changes with you.
ASK WITH SOURCES
Ask any Islamic question, from wudu to inheritance, and get a clear answer with citations from the Quran, Sahih Bukhari, Sahih Muslim, and classical fiqh, drawn from over 11,786 texts. Choose your madhab, Hanafi, Shafi'i, Maliki, or Hanbali, and open the sources behind every answer. Not a replacement for a scholar, but a fast way to authentic knowledge.
A GENTLE DAILY RHYTHM
Set your niyah each morning, follow a personalized daily plan, and keep going with streaks that encourage rather than nag.
ALSO IN NIYAT
- Curated dua library: morning and evening adhkar, travel, protection, guidance, daily life
- Distraction-free tasbih counter
- Sign in with Apple, Google, or email to keep your progress across devices. Optional; Niyat works fully as a guest
- Family Sharing on the annual plan
- Full interface in English, Arabic, Bengali, Urdu, and French, with right-to-left support
READ TOGETHER
Finish a khatm with family or friends. Start a shared read, send a link, and everyone takes a few parts. A dedication if you want one, a reminder date if you need one. You only see the parts, never a score, and no one is ever shown as late.
BUILT ON AUTHENTIC SOURCES
Unlike generic chatbots, Niyat's knowledge base is curated from recognized Islamic texts, and every answer cites its sources: Quran ayat, specific hadith references, established fiqh rulings.

As a college student I’ve always “struggled” to pray on time and make excuses as to why I missed prayers when in reality I was wasting time scrolling on my phone. This app blocks social medias and any app you are addicted to and won’t unlock it until you say you’ve prayed. Of course if you lie you only harm and cheat yourself. Another thing is I’ve been able to wake up for fajr much more and read more of the Quran. If there is an app that you download or a subscription you pay ask yourself how much it’ll help you and make you a better person. This is one of the apps that has truly made me closer to Allah swt and more knowledgeable about my deen. I truly recommend this app to any one of any age who is struggling or even wants to organize their deen more.

JazakAllah khair for sharing this. Hearing that you're praying on time and waking up for Fajr more is exactly why we built Niyat. May Allah keep you steadfast and put barakah in your studies. 🤍
can’t even use the app
TigerousNicole
i’ve used plethora of Islamic apps over the year, but this one takes the cake. When you download the app, you can’t even use it without having to commit to a seven-day free trial. There is no hidden X in the corner anywhere , no way to back out of the subscription page. I love the widget that they have for the lock screen, but you can’t click on it to take it to the app to read more because the ENTIRE APPLICATION is hidden behind a paywall. The greed is getting too much, to force people to commit to any subscription, just use the app is wrong on so many levels, even if there is a seven-day free trial, or I read another comment where it said you can get a free membership but even still, that’s messed up. I hate to leave such a negative comment/review. It makes me feel bad, but the app is unusable without having to subscribe to any type of service. And I will not be doing that. This app seem like a good idea, but it’s made by people who are too greedy you’re supposed to want to support the Ummah. Not feel forced to. I can’t even go onto the app and think about subscribing after seeing all the benefits no, you have to subscribe to use any part of the app. This is how you turn away Muslims, old and new. Please fix it and please heed my words inshallah, there will be some change

Assalamu alaikum, thank you for telling us this, and for the kind words about the lock screen widget. We hear you. We have given out hundreds of free memberships so far, and we have a pledge to make Niyat free for anyone who asks: niyatapp.com/scholarship, where a real person reads every request. The subscription pays for the app's development, and it helps cover the people who can't afford to pay. Your feedback is being shared with the team. JazakAllah khair.
A Miracle of an App

I absolutely love this app! It has helped me immensely in understanding the Quran, and for the first time, I’m able to read it with a deeper understanding. I especially love the AI feature, which helps answer my questions whenever I need clarification. May Allah swt bless and reward everyone behind this amazing app and make it a source of continuous sadaqah jariyah for them. Ameen! 🤍
Developer Response

Highly recommended!!

I really love the app. It’s been a nice way to stay mindful of my faith, have emotional support from an Islamic sense, and remind myself to make time for Allah, even on busy days. I also really appreciate that they offer scholarships so more people can benefit from the app. May Allah reward everyone behind it and put barakah in their work. 🤍
Developer Response
Ameen, and JazakAllah khair! We're so happy Niyat helps you stay mindful of Allah on busy days. The scholarships matter a lot to us too.
