Dhikr – Simple Spiritual Reminders for Android

What is Dhikr?

Dhikr is a lightweight Android app that delivers short, unobtrusive notifications containing dhikr phrases. Designed for Muslims who want to weave remembrance into their everyday routine, the app works entirely offline and does not require an account or internet connection after installation.

Main features

• Flexible scheduling – Define a start and end time for notifications so reminders appear only when you choose.
• Adjustable frequency – Choose how often a reminder is shown, from a few minutes to several hours.
• Built‑in dhikr collection – A set of core phrases is included in Arabic, with an optional Latin transliteration for learners.
• Personalized list – Add, edit, or remove your own supplications, duʿās, or verses to create a custom rotation.
• Multilingual interface – The app can be used in French, English, or Arabic, and supports right‑to‑left layout for Arabic text.
• Quiet notification sound – A gentle tone distinguishes dhikr alerts from standard system sounds.

How it works

After installing Dhikr, you open the app and set the time window during which you would like to receive reminders. Next, select the interval that matches your daily rhythm – for example, every hour or every two hours. The app then cycles through the available dhikr phrases, showing each as a brief notification. If you have added personal items, those are mixed into the rotation as well.

Practical uses

• Receive a short remembrance before a meeting to pause and refocus.
• Schedule a morning tasbih to start the day with gratitude.
• Include personal duʿās in the rotation so they appear naturally throughout the day.
• Use the transliteration view to practice pronunciation while on the go.

Installation information

Dhikr is distributed as a free Android application. It can be installed directly from the Google Play Store. No additional permissions beyond those required for notifications are needed, and the app runs without an internet connection after the initial download.

Compatibility

The app targets standard Android devices. Because it does not rely on external services, it works on a wide range of versions, though a recent Android release is recommended for optimal performance.

Things to know before installing

• The app does not collect personal data or require sign‑in.
• All content is stored locally, ensuring privacy.
• Notification settings can be adjusted in the Android system settings if you prefer a different sound or vibration pattern.

Who may find Dhikr useful?

Anyone looking for a low‑key way to keep dhikr present in daily life may benefit from Dhikr. It is especially helpful for users who prefer a simple interface, multilingual support, and the ability to add personal supplications without dealing with complex configurations.
