Wake up for Fajr.
Every day.

PrayerWake is a Fajr alarm and Muslim prayer times app with an alarm that keeps ringing until you are truly awake. Then you pray, mark it, and continue with your adhkar.

An alarm that waits for you to be awake

Snoozing through Fajr is easy. PrayerWake keeps ringing until you complete a short wake challenge, and checks on you again if you drift back to sleep.

  • Math, word scramble, character match, memory or pattern
  • Gentle, Standard or Strong Wake difficulty
  • Real system alarms on iOS 26 that ring in Silent mode and Focus
  • Full-screen alarm on Android, re-scheduled after a restart

The athan, and a verse for every prayer

Wake to the athan, to “Hayya ‘alal-falah” or to a gentle tone. Every prayer alert carries a short Quran verse or authentic hadith about the prayer, in the language of your country.

  • The athan, “Hayya ‘alal-falah” or a soft tone, each with a preview
  • A verse or hadith in every alarm, notification and reminder
  • Reminders before prayer time, or just a quiet notification

On iPhone, alarms play the opening of the athan (iOS limits alarm sounds to 30 seconds). Android plays the full call.

After the wake challenge: “You’re awake”, with a verse about the prayer in Arabic and English.

Prayer alerts and wake alarms reach your Apple Watch while your iPhone is locked. Tap the alarm, solve the challenge on your watch, and the alarm on your iPhone stops too.

  • Next prayer with a live countdown, and today’s prayers to mark

Tahajjud, Jumu’ah and your own alarms

A Tahajjud alarm at the start of the last third of the night. On Fridays, Dhuhr becomes Jumu’ah, with a reminder to get ready for the mosque. And your own alarms for suhoor, work or anything else.

  • Wake alarm with challenge, or a simple notification
  • Repeat on any days of the week
  • Each prayer can ring before or after its time

Questions

Is PrayerWake free?

Yes. Everything that gets you up for prayer is free and has no ads: prayer times, alarms and wake challenges, the athan, Tahajjud and Jumu’ah, adhkar, tasbih, widgets and your last week of history. PrayerWake Pro is optional and adds the Apple Watch app, iCloud sync and your full prayer history.

Does PrayerWake work with Apple Watch?

Yes. While your iPhone is locked, prayer alerts and wake alarms appear on your Apple Watch, with or without Pro. With Pro, the PrayerWake watch app shows the next prayer and today’s prayers, counts tasbih, adds complications to your watch face, and lets you solve the wake challenge on your wrist, which stops the alarm on your iPhone too. Install it from the Watch app on your iPhone.

Will the alarm ring when my iPhone is on silent?

On iOS 26 and later, wake alarms are real system alarms (AlarmKit) and ring in Silent mode and Focus. On earlier iOS versions, Apple only allows apps to use time-sensitive notifications, which follow your ring/silent switch; PrayerWake repeats them until you complete the challenge.

Does PrayerWake play the athan?

Yes. Alarms can ring with the athan or with “Hayya ‘alal-falah”, and prayer notifications call with “Hayya ‘alal-falah” unless you choose another sound. iPhone plays at most 30 seconds of an alarm sound, so there it is the opening of the athan; Android plays the full call.

Android sometimes stops my alarms. What can I do?

Some manufacturers (for example Xiaomi, Huawei, Oppo, Vivo and Samsung) stop apps in the background. In PrayerWake, open Settings → Reliability & permissions: it shows what is missing and opens the right settings for your phone.

Which calculation method should I choose?

PrayerWake suggests the method used in your region. You can choose from 12 methods, switch to Hanafi Asr, and shift any prayer by a few minutes to match your local mosque.

Does it need the internet?

No. Prayer times are calculated on your device, and alarms, adhkar and the tasbih work offline. The internet is only used for purchases and, with Pro, iCloud sync.

How do I cancel or restore PrayerWake Pro?

Subscriptions are managed by Apple or Google: on iPhone, Settings → your name → Subscriptions (or “Manage subscription” in PrayerWake Pro); on Android, Google Play → Payments & subscriptions. On a new device, open PrayerWake Pro in Settings and tap “Restore purchases”.

What happens to my data?

Your prayer marks, adhkar counts and settings stay on your device, and in your own iCloud if you turn on sync. There is no account and we have no server that receives them. Purchases are processed by Apple or Google and verified through our payments provider. See the privacy policy for details.
