Bismillah.
This is why we built Zarrah.

For most of the last decade, the productivity industry has been rediscovering things Muslims already do. Cal Newport made the modern case for time-blocking in Deep Work (2016). Most calendar apps now treat it as default.

"Indeed, prayer has been decreed upon the believers at specified times."

A Muslim's day already has its boundaries drawn. Fajr before sunrise, then Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha through to night. Five immovable markers, set by the rotation of the earth.

Open most habit trackers and the week starts on Monday. Open most calendars and there is no concept of when Maghrib falls today, or what the Hijri date is. Sunnah fasting days are something you have to look up.

So Muslims keep two calendars in their head, mute alarms during prayer because the alarm doesn't know any better, and convert Hijri dates by hand. The workarounds work. Just barely.

We got tired of the workarounds.

A productivity app built around how a Muslim already moves through a day. Salah times are the scaffold, so habits anchor to Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha rather than to a generic 7 a.m. The Hijri date sits on the home screen, and Sunnah fasting days surface when they are due.

The aim is the standard the Prophet ﷺ named:

"The most beloved deeds to Allah are those done consistently, even if they are small."

We didn't try to reinvent productivity. We tried to stop ignoring the system that was already there.

No ads. No data sales. Subscriptions are what keep the project sustainable, and a portion of revenue goes to the RuhamaAid project to support orphans and widows.
