Prayer times, the Quran, memorisation, tasbih and fasting in one quiet app. It asks nothing of you: no ads, no account, no data, and nothing to pay for.
Yet in many Muslim apps you do, with money, with your attention or with your data. We read about 12,000 low reviews of prayer and Quran apps, and these complaints came up most. None of them happen in Khalis.
In KhalisEverything is free: the full adhan, widgets, tajweed and recitation. No subscription, and nothing locked.
In KhalisNo adverts, anywhere. There’s no advertising code in the app.
In KhalisA reminder check, test buttons, and Fajr alarms that ring on silent.
In Khalis13 methods, Hanafi Asr, your own adjustments, or your mosque’s timetable.
In KhalisThere’s nothing to buy, so there’s nothing to take back.
In KhalisNo account, no analytics, no trackers, and no server of our own.
أَلَا لِلَّهِ ٱلدِّينُ ٱلْخَالِصُ
“Surely pure religion is for Allah only.”
Az-Zumar 39:3 · Pickthall’s translation · Arabic text from Tanzil
Prayer apps learned to make money in the moment you turn to pray: an advert before the adhan, a paywall on the recitation, your location sold on.
Khalis is built the other way round. Nothing stands between you and your worship, and nothing about you comes to us.
Each part of the app belongs to an hour of the day. Here is the day at a glance, and each hour has a page of its own. Every screen shown is the real app.
Fajr
On time, wherever you are. Times are worked out on your phone, with a calculation method picked for where you are, or one of 13 you choose yourself.
Sunrise
With nothing in the way. All 114 surahs in the Uthmani script, on your phone and readable without a connection.
Dhuhr
Hold on to what you learn. Hide a verse, recite it, then check. A verse you know comes back after 1, 3, 7, 14, 30, 60 and 120 days; one you miss comes back tomorrow.
Asr
Count without counting. A tasbih that keeps your place, and the adhkar of morning and evening, sleep and prayer.
Maghrib
Ramadan, and the fasts between. In Ramadan, suhoor and iftar sit at the top of your day. The rest of the year, Khalis can remind you of a voluntary fast the evening before.
Isha
End the day knowing where you stand. Mark each prayer on time, late or qada, and each day becomes a ring of five.
Also inside
What is due, worked out on your phone. Add cash, gold, silver, investments, business stock and money owed to you, take off debts due now, and see what is due at 2.5%.
No subscription, no in-app purchases and no premium version. Here is some of what that covers.
There is no account, and no server of ours for anything to go to.
Prayer times and the Qibla are worked out on your phone. Khalis doesn’t send your location to us or to anyone else. If you turn on iCloud sync, your saved places go to your own iCloud with your other settings.
There isn’t one. No email, no sign-in, nothing to forget.
No ads, no analytics and no tracking libraries. We don’t know how you use the app.
Only when you ask: to play or save a recitation and, on iPhone, to sync with your own iCloud if you turn that on.
A backup file goes where you save it. On Android, if your phone backs up to your Google account, Android can include Khalis’s saved data in it, as it can for most apps.
The help page answers the common questions. Sources and credits says where the Quran text, the translation, the tafsir and the recitations come from.
