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 Telegram

Telegram sits between a messaging app and a content platform. Channels broadcast to thousands of subscribers. Groups can hold up to 200,000 members. The app hosts Islamic lectures, news channels, meme groups, and private conversations side by side. At 18 minutes a day, Telegram is lighter than most social apps. But those 18 minutes often arrive in bursts: a notification from a channel leads to checking three other channels, which leads to a group discussion, which leads to 20 minutes gone. The channel model means there is always new content waiting, published by others on their schedule, not yours. The dhikr gate treats each of those check-ins as an opportunity. Eighteen minutes a day across multiple sessions means multiple moments of SubhanAllah.
