App Blocker for Muslims
Block distracting apps and put ibadah first
Nafs includes Hisn, an app blocking system built for Muslims who want Quran, dhikr, adhkar, salah, dua, and salawat before social media.
1 minute of ibadah = 1 minute of screen time.
What you can do before unlocking apps
Quran, dhikr, and adhkar
Use core daily worship modes instead of opening feeds automatically.
Salah, dua, and salawat
Connect phone habits to prayer, personal dua, and sending salawat.
Earned screen time
The core exchange is simple: 1 minute of ibadah = 1 minute of screen time.
Common Muslim app blocker use cases
Block TikTok until Quran
If TikTok is the app you open automatically, Nafs can help you put Quran first.
Block Instagram until adhkar
Morning and evening adhkar become easier when tied to a real phone habit.
Block YouTube until salah
When entertainment becomes automatic, salah and worship can become the intentional reset.
Family screen time
Muslim families can use Nafs to support worship before entertainment.
Generic blocker alternative
If you are comparing Opal, Freedom, or AppBlock, Nafs gives Muslims a worship-first replacement instead of only restriction.
