Seventeen of the tools on this site now run as an app. You add it to your home screen once, and after that it works with the network off: on a plane, underground, or in the Haram when the signal gives out.

Android

Leave it open for a few seconds the first time. It downloads everything in the background, and only then will it work offline. After that it loads instantly, because nothing is being fetched.
What is in it
Prayer times anywhere, a live qibla compass, the Hijri date, morning and evening adhkār with counters, a zakat calculator. A prayer you can follow position by position with a rakʿah counter. A Ramadan companion with a fasting timetable and a thirty-day Qur’an plan.
Umrah rite by rite, with tap counters for ṭawāf and saʿī, which is the part that matters when you are standing in the Masjid with no bars on your phone. Ziyārah places in Madinah, Makkah and Badr, and what happened at each one.
A ten-step path for anyone who has just become Muslim, twelve questions people actually ask, and what the Qur’an says about Jesus, Mary and the earlier prophets set beside the Bible.
Six commentators compared on three sūrahs, tajwīd, a ḥifẓ tracker that remembers where you are, eighteen Arabic roots, hadith grading drawn as diagrams, the creed from the hadith of Jibrīl, a sīrah timeline, and fifteen questions where the four schools part company.
Marriage, children, parents and kin from the Qur’an and the Sunna. An inheritance calculator that works the Qur’anic shares out exactly, including ʿawl and radd. And what a family does, hour by hour, when someone dies.
Nothing leaves your phone
There is no account, no sign-in, no analytics and no advertising. The app makes no network calls at all once it is installed. Prayer times, the qibla bearing, the Hijri date and the inheritance shares are all worked out on the device itself.
Anything you tick off, such as your ḥifẓ progress or a daily checklist, is stored in your own browser and goes nowhere else. Clearing your browser data will clear it, and it does not follow you to another phone.
What it will not do
It will not call you to prayer. A web app cannot schedule a notification reliably on an iPhone, so there is no adhān and no reminder. If that is what you want, you want a native app from the App Store, and this is not one.
It is also a snapshot. When the articles here are corrected or extended, the app does not update itself until it is rebuilt. The pages on this site are always the current version, and every claim in them carries its source.
The tools are the same ones published here, so if you would rather read them with the sources open in front of you, start at the Deen section or the interactive tools. Corrections are welcome and get made.
