A calm Qur'an companion.
Mishk is a premium iPhone app for prayer times, Qibla direction, Qur'an reading, and finding verses on a topic — all running on your device, with no analytics, no ads, and no login.
Currently in TestFlight. Mishk is preparing for App Store launch. If you're a tester, you should have received an invitation by email — install the TestFlight app from the App Store, open the invitation, and Mishk will appear.
What Mishk does
- Prayer times — five daily times computed locally using seven calculation methods (MWL, ISNA, Egypt, Makkah, Karachi, Tehran, Jafari) and Hanafi-aware Asr. Smart Adhan respects your iOS Calendar busy windows and Focus modes — the prayer call doesn't fire when iOS knows you're in a meeting, asleep, or driving. Live Activity for the next prayer on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island.
- Qur'an reader — full mushaf in Amiri Quran (Tanzil Uthmani Arabic text, free with attribution) with Saheeh International English translation (bundled under the Maktabah Booksellers 2010 redistribution grant). Bookmarks and private notes per verse, font-size + Arabic-to-translation ratio controls, all synced to your own iCloud — never to our servers.
- Qibla — classic compass with approach haptics, plus an AR mode that anchors a brass lamp marker when you turn toward the Kaaba.
- Verse Finder — type a question, get the verses most directly related. An on-device Apple Core ML model finds them; your question never leaves your iPhone. Every result cites a verse. Questions the Qur'an doesn't address are explicitly refused, not guessed at.
- Women's UX — menstruation pause silences prayer reminders gracefully when you toggle it on. Cycle data stays device-only by design, never synced to iCloud.
Privacy
Mishk has no account, no login, no analytics, and no third-party SDKs that phone home. The only data that leaves your device is what you explicitly opt into (iCloud sync for prayer log + bookmarks + notes), plus your subscription state through Apple's StoreKit. Full detail at the privacy page.
