A prayer companion

Five prayers a day.
A friend who waits for you.

Sanabil gives you accurate prayer times, a gentle reminder, and a small companion who is simply glad you came. Tick what you did, and a little world grows around them.

No account. No server. Nothing you record ever leaves your phone.

“I never ask where you’ve been. I’m just glad you came.”

Every word in Sanabil is spoken by your companion. The app never speaks for itself.

You grow together

How does Sanabil work?

Three small things. None of them has to happen every day.

The companion waving1

Meet your companion

Choose who keeps you company and give them a name. They are a friend, not a mirror of you.

The companion cheering2

Tick what you did

Prayed Fajr? Tap the tick. Read a line of Qur’an, gave a little. One tick is one seed. Always one, whatever the habit.

Watch a small world grow

Seeds become a tent, a lantern, a new scarf. Your companion settles in, and the place starts to feel like yours.

Little tools for every day

What’s inside Sanabil

Everything you need to keep the five prayers, and nothing that turns them into a game.

Prayer times

Right for where you are

Computed on your phone for your city, with the calculation method usual in your country. Change either whenever you travel. Works offline.

Reminders

A tap on the shoulder

One quiet notification at each prayer, or a few minutes before. Tahajjud is there if you want it, in the last third of the night. Never a nag.

Three habits

Prayer, Qur’an, charity

The five prayers, ticked alone or in congregation. A daily tick for Qur’an, a line or a page. A daily tick for giving, never an amount.

Challenges

Invitations, not orders

“Fajr, seven mornings.” Whenever they happen; they do not have to be in a row. One at a time, no deadline, and you can set it aside without losing a thing.

Statistics

Only ever compared with your own past

“Seventeen of the last thirty days had something in them.” Counts, not chains. A calendar of the month. How often you prayed among others.

Wardrobe & scene

A little place that feels like yours

Spend seeds on a top, a scarf, a lantern, a tent by the pond. Skin, hair and hijab are free from the first day and always will be.

The promise

Sanabil does not judge your worship.
It only notices that you noted it.

What happens between you and Allah is yours. Sanabil counts one thing only: that you came back and made a mark. One tick, one seed, whichever prayer, however it went. A day without a tick simply has no seed, and nothing else.

  • No streaks to break.
  • No scores, no percentages of perfection.
  • Not one word like “missed” anywhere in the app.
  • The companion never looks disappointed.
  • Nothing sacred is ever sold or collected.
  • Rest days are simply rest. Health data never leaves the phone.

Home screen: the companion in the scene, the next prayer, today’s ticks
Challenge screen: one invitation at a time
Statistics screen: counts of the last thirty days

Why Sanabil

Made by one person, for the days that are hard to begin

Most prayer apps are a clock and a list. Sanabil started from a different question: what would it take to come back after a week away and not feel small? The answer was a friend who is glad to see you, a count instead of a chain, and no word anywhere that says you failed.

“Sanabil” is Arabic for ears of grain, what patiently grows from a seed. There is no account, no server and no analytics, because the record of your days is nobody’s business but yours.

A few things you might wonder

Common questions about Sanabil

Visit the support page ↗
Is Sanabil free?

Yes. Prayer times, reminders, the three habits, your companion with every look, challenges and this month’s statistics are all free, and always will be. Premium is optional and only opens the scene shelf and the longer statistics.

Do I need an account?

No. There is nothing to sign up for. Open the app, meet your companion, and begin.

Where does my data go?

Nowhere. Your ticks, your companion and your settings live on your iPhone only. There is no server and no analytics. Rest mode, which may say why you are resting, stays on the phone too. Deleting the app deletes everything. See the privacy policy.

Is the companion supposed to be me?

No. They are a friend who keeps you company, not a picture of you. Name them what you like; the app never assumes they share your name.

Why are there no streaks?

Because a broken chain makes people stop. Sanabil shows counts instead: “twenty-three of the last thirty days”. A day you did not tick simply has no seed. Nothing resets, and nothing is lost.

How are the prayer times calculated?

On your phone, from your city and the calculation method usual in your country, with the same open method used by many mosque schedules. Both can be changed in Settings. Compare with your local official schedule for a few days and pick the method that matches.

What does Premium include, and can I get a refund?

Premium opens the scene shelf in the shop and the statistics beyond this month, as a one-time Lifetime purchase or a Yearly subscription. Refunds are handled by Apple; the support page explains how.

Is there an Android version?

Not yet. Sanabil starts on iPhone. An Android version may follow later.
