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

How does the dhikr gate work?

Accepted Answer

When you open a blocked app like TikTok or Instagram, HalalScreen replaces the screen with a dhikr counter. Tap 33 times for SubhanAllah (the Sunnah count), and the app unlocks. It takes about 30 seconds.

Question 3

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 4

How is HalalScreen different from other Islamic apps?

Accepted Answer

Most Islamic apps remind you to do dhikr with notifications. HalalScreen requires dhikr before you can open distracting apps. It is an active gate, not a passive reminder. The 30-second Sunnah tasbih becomes the key to your phone.

Question 5

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.

What if every phone pickup started with dhikr?
