Tanbih - Islamic Screen Time

Accessibility Service disclosure

Tanbih uses Android's AccessibilityService API for one purpose only: to block the apps you choose during your prayer (salah) focus sessions.

• What it does: when you open an app that you have added to your block list, Tanbih detects that app's name in the foreground (window state change) and shows a block screen so you can stay focused on your prayer.
• What it does not do: it does not read the content of your screen, keystrokes, passwords, messages, or any personal data. It does not collect, store, or share any information obtained through this service.
• This is optional. You choose which apps to block and can turn the permission off any time in Settings > Accessibility.

To enable app blocking, Tanbih will ask you to turn on its Accessibility Service. Without this permission the app blocking feature will not work.

Tanbih is a Muslim digital-wellbeing app that helps you break the doom-scrolling cycle, block distracting apps around your prayer times, and redirect your screen time toward Qur'an, dhikr, and other good deeds.

In a world of endless reels and notifications, it's easy to lose track of time — and of Salah. Tanbih puts your prayers back at the center of your day with real app-blocking, Islamic reminders and purposeful habits — not just another timer and a guilt trip.

WHAT TANBIH HELPS YOU DO

• Protect your Salah — Selected apps automatically pause for each prayer, with a short grace period first (time for wudu or to wrap up what you're doing) before focus mode locks in.
• Turn scrolling into worship — Recite Tasbeeh, read Qur'an, or make Dua instead of reaching for social media. Each completed session earns you screen time back.
• Earn your screen time back — Finish a short Islamic activity and spend the minutes you earn to unlock a specific blocked app for a limited time — deliberately, not by accident.
• Build a real streak — Track your daily prayer-focus streak and ibadah streak, and see your protected minutes add up.
• Set your own rules — Choose your prayer calculation method, adjust grace periods and focus duration per prayer, and pick exactly which apps get blocked.
• Night Focus — Keep the same apps locked overnight on a schedule you set.

KEY FEATURES

• App Blocker & Focus Timer — Block chosen apps automatically around each prayer, with a configurable grace period and focus duration.
• Full Qur'an, offline — All 114 surahs with English, Urdu and Hindi translation, no internet needed. Pick a 5, 10 or 15-minute session, open any surah, and Tanbih remembers where you stopped.
• Daily Du'as — A rotating collection of 20 Qur'anic and Sunnah du'as, in Arabic with translation.
• Tasbeeh Counter — 33-count, tap anywhere on the screen to count.
• Screen-Time Wallet — See your earned balance and history, and spend minutes to temporarily unlock one app when you genuinely need it. A free emergency unlock is available once a day.
• Auto-Silence During Prayer (optional) — Your phone stays silent during focus, your alarm still rings, and everything is restored when focus ends.
• Prayer Notifications — Local reminders, no account required.
• Streaks & Stats — Your focus sessions, protected minutes and streaks at a glance.
• English, Hindi and Urdu, with light and dark mode.
• Gentle by Design — No leaderboards, no shame, no ads. Just a calm nudge.

BUILT FOR MUSLIMS, BY MUSLIMS

Tanbih isn't a generic screen-time app with an Islamic sticker on it. It's built around one idea: your phone should help you become a more consistent, more present Muslim - not pull you away from Allah. Whether it's reels at 2am or losing focus mid-Salah, Tanbih gives you a practical, faith-grounded tool for it.

Your privacy: Tanbih doesn't require an account, has no ads, and doesn't sell your data. Prayer times are calculated on your device. Only anonymous usage and crash information is collected to improve the app.
