The Story

How It Started

In 2016, I noticed that accessing prayer times quickly wasn't well-served in the market. Most solutions were either too complex or too slow. I wanted to create something simple, fast, and focused on the core need.

SalahTimez was born as a Progressive Web App (PWA) rather than a full mobile app. This decision was crucial - PWAs offer the speed and simplicity of web apps with the convenience of mobile apps.

The focus was on speed and simplicity. Users could access prayer times instantly without downloads, updates, or complex interfaces. Just open the browser and get the information you need.
