Question 1

What is HalalScreen?

Accepted Answer

HalalScreen is an iOS app that locks addictive apps behind dhikr. When you open a blocked app, a Shield View appears where you count 33 SubhanAllah with haptic feedback. Complete your dhikr, then scroll.

Question 2

What is HalalScreen trying to help with?

Accepted Answer

HalalScreen helps people build more halal screen time by putting a short dhikr gate before the apps that usually lead to distraction. The goal is to pause, remember Allah, and unlock with intention.

Question 3

How does the dhikr gate work?

Accepted Answer

When you tap a locked app, the Shield View appears before the app opens. Complete 33 SubhanAllah, then the app unlocks.

Question 4

Is HalalScreen free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. HalalScreen is free with no ads and no tracking. Your dhikr data stays on your device. No account required.

Question 5

How is HalalScreen different from other Islamic apps?

Accepted Answer

HalalScreen is an active gate, not a passive reminder. The dhikr happens before the feed appears, not after distraction has already started.

Question 6

What is the 33 SubhanAllah count based on?

Accepted Answer

The 33-33-34 tasbih after salah is prescribed by the Prophet (PBUH) and recorded in Sahih Muslim and Sahih Bukhari. HalalScreen uses this same Sunnah count as the default dhikr gate.
