Ya Habibi

A Muslim day in one app, with the core working offline

Ya Habibi is five surfaces people open daily: Prayer, Study, the Ummah, Halal Food and their profile. Prayer times, the qibla, the Qur'an and the habit tracker are computed on the handset from bundled data and work with no account and no signal. Signing in only starts to matter when you want to post.

01What it does

Inside Ya Habibi

01

The things people open it for need nothing

Prayer times, the qibla compass, the Qur'an with its audio and your place in it, and the habit tracker are computed on the device from data shipped with the app. No account, no network, no configuration, and nothing in the codebase is allowed to put a sign-up screen in front of them.

02

Prayer times you can check the working of

The times come from your position and a calculation method you choose, not from a server that might be wrong about where you are. Masjids sit inside the same tab, because a prayer time and the room you will pray it in are one question, and every time carries a sheet explaining how it was arrived at.

03

The mushaf and the lessons in one place

Study holds the Qur'an with recitation, translation and your bookmark, and a lesson library beside it. Your place is kept on the device, so the reader opens where you left it whether or not you have ever signed in.

04

Anonymous posts that are actually anonymous

The author of a post is recorded for moderation in a schema no client can reach. There is no author column to filter, order, join or page against, publication is delayed by a random interval of up to thirty minutes, and every timestamp is truncated to the minute so a precise one is not the tell.

05

277 rooms, and the gates are in the database

Eighty-nine topic rooms and a hundred and eighty-eight city rooms make up the Ummah. Four are scoped to brothers or to sisters, and a room you are not admitted to returns an empty page rather than an error, so the refusal cannot be used to probe what exists. Posts translate on demand, so someone writing in Arabic and someone reading in Indonesian are in the same conversation.

06

Halal food spots with the detail that matters

Three ways into the same list: what is near you, what kind of food it is, and whose kitchen it came from. Listings carry which kind of halal and verified by whom, rather than a badge that means nothing, and a business account manages its own spot.
