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.

What is HalalScreen trying to help with?

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.

How does the dhikr gate work?

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

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

How is HalalScreen different from other Islamic apps?

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

What is the 33 SubhanAllah count based on?

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.

Why Gate Facebook

Facebook is the default social network for much of the Muslim world. In Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and South Asia, Facebook is not one app among many. It is the internet. Groups, Marketplace, Messenger, and the News Feed all live inside one platform, making it simultaneously useful and consuming. The 33 minutes per day statistic masks wide variation: some users spend 10 minutes, others spend two hours. What they share is the pattern of checking without purpose, opening the app to see if anything happened, finding something, and staying longer than planned. Gating Facebook behind dhikr acknowledges that the app serves real needs while recognizing that most opens are reflexive, not intentional. The gate does not prevent you from checking Marketplace or replying in a group. It ensures every session begins with remembrance.
