🕌 awqat - Prayer Times, Quietly in Your Bar
🧭 What Is awqat?
awqat is a simple, lightweight application that shows you Islamic prayer times right in your computer's taskbar or menu bar. It works quietly in the background, automatically detects your location, and gives you a gentle reminder when it's time to pray. No complicated setup, no fuss—just the information you need, right where you can see it.
Think of awqat as your friendly, unobtrusive prayer-time companion. It sits in your bar, shows you the current and upcoming prayer times, counts down to the next prayer, and can even play the adhan (the Islamic call to prayer) when the time arrives. It's designed for people who want to stay connected to their faith without having to constantly check their phone or a website.
✨ Key Features
📍 Automatic Location Detection
awqat automatically figures out where you are in the world. You don't need to type in your city or manually set your coordinates. The app uses your system's location services to determine your position, then calculates accurate prayer times for your specific area.
⏰ Live Countdowns
Ever wondered how much time is left before the next prayer? awqat shows you a live countdown right in your bar. You'll always know exactly how many minutes and seconds remain until the next prayer time arrives.
🔔 Gentle Notifications
When it's time to pray, awqat sends you a notification. You can choose how you want to be alerted—a subtle pop-up, a sound, or even the full adhan. The choice is yours, and you can customize it to fit your environment.
🎵 Adhan Support
For those who want the traditional call to prayer, awqat can play the adhan when prayer time begins. You can select from different adhan styles or use your own audio file.
🪶 Lightweight and Fast
awqat is built with Rust, a programming language known for speed and efficiency. The app uses very little memory and CPU, so it won't slow down your computer or drain your battery. It's designed to run quietly in the background without being a resource hog.
🎨 Beautiful and Customizable
The app integrates seamlessly with your desktop environment. You can customize how it looks, what information it displays, and how it behaves. Whether you prefer a minimal display or a more detailed one, awqat can be tailored to your taste.
