SalahMode — Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-06-24

SalahMode is built to work entirely on your device. We designed it so there is nothing to collect: no account, no servers, and no data leaving your phone.

The short version: SalahMode does not collect, store off your device, transmit, share, or sell any personal information. There is no analytics, no advertising, and no tracking.

No account, no servers

SalahMode has no backend. You never sign in, and the app does not operate or contact any server that receives your information.

Location

If you choose to grant location access, your approximate location is used only on your device to calculate prayer times (via the open-source Adhan library). It is never sent anywhere and is not used for any other purpose.

The apps you choose to pause

SalahMode uses Apple’s Screen Time (Family Controls) framework. The apps and categories you select are represented as opaque tokens provided by iOS — SalahMode never learns which specific apps you chose. These tokens are stored only on your device, in an app group shared with SalahMode’s own on-device extensions, and never leave your phone.

On-device processing only

Pausing apps around prayer times is handled by Apple’s Family Controls, Managed Settings, and Device Activity frameworks, all running locally on your device.

No third parties

SalahMode includes no third-party analytics or advertising SDKs, and no third-party code that collects your data.

Children

SalahMode is intended for individuals managing their own device.

Changes

If this policy changes, we will update the text and the “last updated” date above.
