Heed — Your phone, in service of your deen

How it works

Simple by design.

Four steps. No complexity. Your apps, your limits, your practice.

01

Choose your apps

Select which apps you want to restrict — Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, whatever applies. Set your daily time limit for each.

02

Use them as normal

Nothing changes day to day. Your apps open as they always have, within the limits you've set.

03

Limit reached — do your dhikr

When your time runs out, Heed steps in. Complete a round of dhikr to earn more time on your restricted apps.

04

Unlocked. Continue as normal.

Your apps open again. You've added something to your day — a moment of remembrance — without removing anything.

Features

A complete practice, in your pocket.

Heed goes beyond screen time. It is a daily companion for your Islamic practice.

Prayer tracker

Never lose sight of your prayers.

Log each of the five daily prayers and build a consistent streak. See your prayer history at a glance. Everything is stored privately on your device — never uploaded anywhere.

Full Quran — offline

The complete Quran. Always available.

Read every surah with Arabic, transliteration, and English translation — completely offline. Curated verses appear highlighted with context and takeaways as you read. Bookmark anything, revisit everything.

Qibla

Always know your direction.

A clean, accurate Qibla compass using your device's live location. Your bearing to Makkah, in real time, wherever you are. Simple and reliable.

Your journey

Watch your practice grow.

Track your dhikr totals, day streaks, time earned, total prayers, and personal journal reflections — all in one place. A honest record of your intention, day by day.

Privacy

Your practice stays yours.

We built Heed around a simple principle: your most personal data should never leave your device.

🔒

Journal is on-device only

Your reflections are yours alone. Never uploaded to any server — stored only on your iPhone, backed up by your own iCloud.

🛡️

Screen time data stays on your phone

Which apps you restrict is handled entirely by Apple's FamilyControls framework. We never see, access, or store this data.

📵

No tracking. No ads.

Heed has no advertising and no third-party tracking. You are using the app — you are not the product.
