🕋 Sacred Direction
A responsive compass utilizing real-time device sensors to indicate the precise direction and distance to the Kaaba in Makkah, complete with sensor calibration feedback.
🔔 Contemplative Reminders
Thoughtful, poetic notification phrases in both Arabic and English tailored for every prayer time. Complemented by a custom-crafted, gentle notification chime designed specifically for the Athar identity.
🛡️ Pure and Distraction-Free
Completely offline-capable and free of third-party analytics, account mandates, and advertisements. Your worship remains private, focused, and uninterrupted.
More features, enhancements, and spiritual tools are continuously on the horizon as Athar grows.
