Sajda: Never Miss a Prayer on Your Mac Again

As a Muslim who uses a Mac all day, I was looking for a prayer times app that was minimalist, fast, and felt truly native to macOS.

Many of the available apps had outdated designs, or were doesnt have a feature that I need.

Sajda is a prayer times app for your Mac's menu bar. It delivers accurate prayer schedules and clear reminders directly on your desktop.

This project is open-source. I built it to solve my own problem, but I hope others find it useful too.

A Note on Sajda Pro

The standard version of Sajda is available for free, and it works wonderfully for most daily needs. There is no obligation to purchase the Pro version.

Choosing to purchase Sajda Pro is the most meaningful way to support the app's development. My hope is to bring Sajda to the Mac App Store, making it easily and safely accessible for everyone. Your support directly helps cover the costs, like the Apple Developer Program fee, required to make that a reality.

Or, if you simply wish to enjoy the advanced features, that is a wonderful reason too. In either case, thank you for your support.

System Requirements

• macOS Ventura (13.0) or later.
• Compatible with both Apple Silicon (M1, M2, etc.) and Intel-based Macs.

As a testament to its efficiency, Sajda was developed and tested on a 2012 MacBook Pro (using Ventura OCLP). It is designed to be extremely lightweight and will not slow down your machine.
