I carried this idea around for somewhere between five and ten years before I finally had the time and the tools to build it. The apps I personally need mostly exist — others have made excellent ones — so this project was never about competing. It was about exploring what I could do with an idea that wouldn’t leave me alone.
The concept has one core rule: be as light and clean as possible. No bloat, no accounts, no nagging. Open the page, see your prayer times, get on with your day.
Open on purpose
The whole thing is public and the data stays open: anyone can use it for their own project, as long as what they build stays free. That’s the license philosophy in one sentence — knowledge that helps people pray shouldn’t be anyone’s product.
It handles Sri Lanka’s geography properly — times resolved by district rather than one Colombo-centric table — and speaks English, Sinhala and Tamil.
Where it goes next
More features are coming, carefully — the dream is for it to someday grow into a complete, quiet companion for the deen, without ever losing the lightness that is the whole point. Proper Android apps are on the roadmap, because that’s how most of Sri Lanka will actually use it.
