What actually helps you wake up for Fajr on the regular?
Assalamu alaikum everyone, I’ve been struggling to wake for Fajr consistently and none of the prayer/alarm apps I’ve tried really do the trick for me. I’m thinking of making a Fajr-focused app that actually helps Muslims wake and pray on time, instead of being just another generic alarm. Before I start building, I’d love to hear your thoughts and what would actually work for you. A few things I’m wondering about (but feel free to add anything): - How early would you want an alarm before the adhan? At adhan time, 5 minutes before, several alarms spaced out, or something else? - Would it be useful if the app suggested a bedtime based on Fajr time so you know when to sleep? - Do you prefer gentle reminders that get louder over time, or a loud alarm right away? - Do you like hearing the athan as the alarm or simple tones/beeps? - Would staged prompts be helpful (wake up → reminder to make wudu → prompt to start prayer)? - What usually makes you miss Fajr? Irregular sleep, alarm fatigue, ignoring notifications, oversleeping, family schedules, etc.? - Any features you’ve wished for but haven’t seen in other apps? My aim isn’t just “wake up earlier,” but to make Fajr a realistic, lasting habit without being annoying. If you’ve ever thought “why doesn’t an app do this?” please share - I’d really appreciate the ideas. JazakAllahu khayran 🤍
