Introduction

What is AlMiQaT?

AlMiQaT is a macOS app that helps you keep commitments by locking your Mac and blocking distracting apps when it matters — prayer time, sleep, gym, family evenings, and deep focus.

At its core, AlMiQaT is a commitment enforcer: you decide the schedule once, and the app quietly holds that decision when the moment arrives. Optional Adhan playback can cue prayer locks so the transition feels natural, not abrupt.

Who is AlMiQaT for?

AlMiQaT is ideal for:

• Muslim professionals who want prayer time protected without relying on willpower alone.
• Anyone who wants device locks for sleep, gym, family time, or study routines.
• People who need app blocks during focus windows or evenings.
• Mac users who prefer local-first tools that keep working after the window is hidden.

Key features

AlMiQaT combines prayer timing, locks, blocks, and calm controls:

• Prayer locks with per-prayer duration, offset, and heads-up warnings.
• Adhan playback from bundled tracks, with Stop Adhan in the menu bar.
• App blocks with a native Mac app picker and weekly range planner.
• Life / device locks for sleep, gym, family, and similar routines.
• Background agent on macOS that keeps enforcing after you close the window.
• English and Arabic interface, with light, Zellige, and dark themes in the app.

Important safety note

A device lock can sign you out to the macOS login screen and keep enforcing until the end time. Start with a short test lock and make sure you know your Mac password before enabling long schedules.
