About Miqāt
A desktop Athan and prayer-time app
Miqāt (also written Miqaat or Mīqāt) is a free, open-source desktop Athan and prayer-time companion for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Whether you call them salah times, salat times, prayer times, or simply الصلاة, the app calculates each of the five daily prayers (Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, Isha) locally on your computer and announces the Adhan (Azan / Athan) with a full-screen-optional player. No ads. No account. No tracking. Built for Muslims who want a quiet, accurate prayer reminder that respects their attention and their data.
Accurate prayer times worldwide
Miqāt computes prayer times offline using the Adhan astronomical library, the same calculations behind Aladhan and IslamicFinder. Pick from the standard methods (Muslim World League, Egyptian General Authority of Survey, Umm al-Qura University Makkah, Islamic Society of North America, Karachi University, University of Tehran), set custom Fajr and Isha angles, or apply per-prayer time adjustments to match your local mosque. Times follow your OS location, with optional online verification against Aladhan when you're connected.
Athan player and custom reciters
Five reciters ship built-in: Makkah (Masjid al-Haram), Madina (Masjid an-Nabawi), Al-Aqsa, Egypt, and Moroccan. You can also upload your own MP3, M4A, OGG, or WAV recording (up to 10 MB). Set a default reciter, override it per prayer (a different voice for Fajr than Maghrib), or rotate through them. The Adhan plays in a small floating window that auto-dismisses, even when Miqāt is minimised to the system tray.
Qibla, Hijri calendar, and Friday companion
Find the Qibla (the direction of the Kaaba in Makkah) with an offline arrow that follows your location, or switch to a map view with the bearing in degrees and distance in kilometres. Miqāt includes a Hijri calendar based on Umm al-Qura, a Hijri ↔ Gregorian date converter, and a monthly view of every prayer time exportable to PDF. On Fridays the app shifts into Jumuʿah mode: a one-tap Surah Al-Kahf reminder, a tasbih-style Salawat counter, a discreet banner during the hour of acceptance, and a hushed khutbah notice while the imam is on the minbar.
Privacy by design
Miqāt is local-first. Settings, saved locations, and uploaded Athan files live on your machine. They never leave. The only outbound HTTPS calls are short verification requests to Aladhan, OpenStreetMap (for the Qibla map), and ipapi.co (for first-launch geolocation). All three can be disabled in Settings. There are no analytics, no telemetry, no fingerprinting, and no third-party scripts. Your prayer is no one's data.
Free and open source
Miqāt is released as open source on GitHub. Bug reports, pull requests, translations (currently English, French, and Arabic with full right-to-left layout), and feedback are welcome. Built and maintained by Develop Better Solutions, an independent product studio.
