What matters

Small settings matter. Nedaa keeps them visible.

Prayer times you can inspect

Nedaa calculates each day from your prayer location, timezone, calculation method, Asr madhab, high-latitude rule, Hijri adjustment, and any minute offsets you choose. The selected method is never hidden away; Accuracy Details shows the inputs behind the schedule.

  • Adhan Swift 1.4.0
  • Regional suggestions you can change
  • Offsets for local mosque or authority practice

Today, without clutter

The Today screen starts with what you came for: next prayer, countdown, time, and the full daily schedule with sunrise. It also shows the selected location, Gregorian and Hijri dates, method summary, and reminder health when relevant.

  • Cairo default backed by bundled GeoNames data
  • Prayer times formatted in the selected location timezone
  • Sunrise is shown as a schedule event, not a prayer

Qibla that says what it knows

Nedaa gives the numeric true-north bearing to the Kaaba. If the phone can provide heading data, the Qibla screen adds a compass view; if heading is unavailable or approximate, the app keeps the fallback clear.

  • Great-circle bearing to the Kaaba
  • True heading when iOS provides it
  • No indoor compass certainty claims

Reminders that respect iOS

Prayer reminders are optional local notifications. You can enable each prayer, choose at-time or before-prayer reminders, and pick from the bundled sounds. Focus modes, Sleep, notification settings, and the ring switch may still affect what you hear.

  • Default, silent, short Takbir, or short Adhan notification clips
  • Full Adhan only after a user action in the app
  • Optional AlarmKit alarm support on eligible iOS versions

Location without sending it away

Automatic location is optional and uses When In Use permission. You can also pick from the bundled offline city database or enter coordinates and a timezone yourself. Nedaa does not reverse geocode or upload your location.

  • No Always location
  • No background location tracking
  • No reverse geocoding or server upload

Arabic and accessibility from the start

Nedaa is built in English and Arabic, with RTL layouts, Dynamic Type, VoiceOver labels, dark mode, increased contrast, and reduced motion support where implemented in the app.

  • Arabic strings are in the app string catalog
  • Fraunces and Amiri display fonts are bundled
  • Physical-device UI tests cover Arabic and accessibility text

Privacy

No quiet data bargain

Nedaa does not have accounts, ads, analytics, tracking SDKs, crash-reporting SDKs, reverse geocoding, map services, backend APIs, or developer-collected data. Your location choice, calculation settings, reminder preferences, language, and theme live in app storage on your device.
