Meet the App
Daily Muslim is a modern Islamic lifestyle app designed to support Muslims in their daily spiritual practices. It provides prayer times, Quran, fasting logs, Hijri calendar, Tasbeeh counter, Duas, and more, all while ensuring location-based accuracy and offline support.
Learning-Centric UX Approach
We designed Daily Muslim with simplicity and habit formation in mind. We minimized friction by reducing clicks to key features like prayer times and the Quran. Dark mode, large tap areas, and swipeable cards enhanced ease-of-use. Daily streaks, tasbeeh logs, and small motivators reinforced spiritual routines.
Why We Chose Flutter
Flutter offered the ideal tech stack for Daily Muslim because:
Fast development across Android & iOS with a single codebase
Smooth animations and responsive UIs for prayer cards & Quran navigation
Plugin ecosystem for GPS, local storage, notifications, and calendars
Ideal for offline-first experiences using Firebase & caching logic
Reduced QA time due to unified UI/UX layer
Key Features
Accurate Prayer Times
Auto-calculates prayer timings based on user’s GPS and preferred Islamic calculation method with customizable notifications for each salah time.
Full Quran Access
Offline Quran with translation, audio recitation by multiple Qaris, bookmarking, and tafsir support to aid in reading and understanding anytime.
Duas & Azkar
A collection of verified daily duas and morning-evening azkar with categorizations, reminders, and audio recitations for better memorization.
Tasbeeh Counter
An elegant digital tasbeeh counter with vibration feedback, history tracking, and customizable dhikr options to aid consistent remembrance.
Hijri Calendar
Integrated Hijri calendar with Islamic event reminders, fasting logs, and syncing with user’s Gregorian calendar for dual-view planning.
Fasting Tracker
Smart fasting planner and tracker for Ramadan, Sunnah fasts, and missed fasts with progress stats and reminders, integrated with the user calendar.
