Do I need an account to use ImanLock?

No. ImanLock works fully without an account. You can optionally create an account if you want to sync your progress across multiple devices. Authentication is handled by Supabase and no personal data is shared with third parties.

Does ImanLock collect my data?

No. ImanLock stores all data on your device using a local SQLite database. There are no analytics and no tracking. If you choose to create an optional account (for syncing progress across devices), authentication is handled securely by Supabase. Subscription management is handled by RevenueCat. The only other network requests are for Quran audio downloads, word-by-word translation, and the optional nearby mosque finder. Everything else works fully offline.

What is ImanLock exactly?

ImanLock is an all-in-one Islamic companion app with 25+ features: prayer tracking, smart app locking, Quran reader & audio, Sunnah lifestyle, Umrah guide, Prophet stories, Quran learning, Tasbeeh, Duas, fasting tracker, Qibla compass, Islamic calendar, and more. Available in 8 languages with 6 color themes.

How does app locking work on iOS?

On iOS 16+, ImanLock uses Apple's official Screen Time API through Family Controls, ManagedSettings, and DeviceActivity. On iOS versions below 16, ImanLock provides a guided walkthrough to set up Screen Time manually.

How does app locking work on Android?

On Android, ImanLock uses the 'Usage Access' permission to detect when a locked app is opened, and 'Display Over Other Apps' permission to show the lock screen during prayer windows.

What if I need to use a locked app urgently?

ImanLock includes an emergency override system. You get a configurable number of overrides per week (default: 3). Each override requires selecting the prayer and providing a reason. The counter resets every Monday.

How are prayer times calculated?

ImanLock uses the Adhan library with 9+ calculation methods: Muslim World League, Egyptian, Umm al-Qura, ISNA, Karachi, Dubai, Kuwait, Qatar, and Singapore. Prayer times update automatically at midnight.

Does the Quran reader work offline?

Yes. The full 114-surah Quran text works completely offline. Quran audio from 9 reciters can be downloaded for offline listening. Only word-by-word translation requires internet.

What languages does ImanLock support?

ImanLock is fully translated into 8 languages: English, Arabic, Urdu, Persian (Farsi), Turkish, Dutch, German, and Indonesian. Arabic, Urdu, and Persian include full RTL support.

How does the streak system work?

Your streak increments each day you complete all five daily prayers. At 8 PM, if incomplete, a gentle notification is sent. Haid (menstruation) mode pauses tracking without breaking your streak.

What's included in the Umrah guide?

A complete 8-phase digital companion: Preparation, Ihram, Tawaf, Prayer, Zamzam, Sa'i, Halq/Taqsir, and Completion. Each phase includes step-by-step instructions, duas, and lap counters.

Does ImanLock work on both iOS and Android?

Yes. ImanLock is available on both iOS and Android with the full feature set. App locking uses Screen Time API on iOS 16+ and overlay permissions on Android.

What is the Family Controls entitlement?

Family Controls is an Apple entitlement required to use the Screen Time API for app locking. It requires Apple's approval for distribution. We've applied and are transparent about this process.

Will ImanLock drain my battery?

ImanLock is lightweight. Four background tasks run at specific times: prayer times at midnight, streak check at 8 PM, override reset on Mondays, and smart reminders periodically.

Can I customize which prayers trigger the lock?

Yes. Configure lock rules per prayer and per day of the week, with different pre- and post-prayer buffer times.
