Qibla — arrow & map
Bearing in degrees from your location to Makkah, plus distance. Toggle between an offline arrow and an online map view.
Friday companion

Hijri calendar

Quietly designed
Phase-aware ambient sun that shifts hue across the day. Live countdown in Caveat hand-script. Built to feel calm — never noisy.
Friday is special
A companion for
Jumuʿah Mubārak.
Most prayer apps treat every day the same. Miqāt doesn't. On Fridays, the centre of the app shifts to a thoughtful Friday ritual — without ever competing for attention with the prayer.
Surah Al-Kahf
"Whoever recites Sūrah al-Kahf on Friday, light shines for him between the two Fridays." — al-Hākim. One tap opens the recitation.
Salawat counter
A quiet tap-to-count tasbih for your daily 100 ṣalawāt. Resets at midnight, never sends a notification, never gets in the way.
Hour of acceptance
A discreet banner appears in the last hour before Maghrib — the most likely window for the answered duʿā. No bells, just a gentle reminder.
Khutbah notice
While the imam is on the minbar, Miqāt slips into a hushed mode: "the angels close their books — listen attentively." No notifications until the prayer is done.
Privacy
Your prayer is
no one's data.
Miqāt is built local-first. Your settings, saved locations, and uploaded Athan files live on your computer in %APPDATA%/Miqāt. The only outbound calls are short HTTPS requests to Aladhan, OpenStreetMap, and ipapi.co — used to compute or verify your prayer times. Nothing else. No analytics, no telemetry, no account.
No account.
Nothing to sign up for. Open the app and it works.
Works offline.
Prayer times computed locally. Internet only used to verify against Aladhan.
No tracking.
No analytics, no fingerprinting, no third-party scripts. Ever.
Local-first.
Settings, locations, and uploaded athans live on your machine. They never leave.
