The prayer app
you can trust
Ad-free, privacy focused and built by Muslims with a vision to empower Muslims to change their own condition.
A prayer app with no ads, that treats your data as an amaanah, letting you focus on what’s important.Built by Muslims, for Muslims who want to become the best versions of themselves.
“Indeed, Allah will not change the condition of a people until they change what is in themselves.”
Qur’an, Ar-Ra’d 13:11
We were studying at university in late 2020 when we learned that the location data of Muslims using a popular prayer app was being sold on. That’s when we decided enough was enough. We got together and built the prayer app we wanted for our own families and friends: beautiful, ad-free, and with your privacy first. Built by Muslims you know and trust.
A few years on, Pillars is used by nearly 2 million Muslims across the globe. But our vision is to be more than just a prayer app. Our mission is to build tools that empower every Muslim to improve their own condition, in every part of life. Join us on this journey inshaAllah, and please keep us in your duas.

Questions
Yes, and ad-free! We give you all the core features you need for free, including prayer times, the Qibla, widgets and tracking. We also have a premium plan with extra features, which keeps Pillars financially self-sustainable so we can keep providing an excellent ad-free and privacy-focused experience for all our users.
Nowhere. We’re one of the only apps that calculates your prayer times and Qibla locally on your phone, so no sensitive GPS location data is ever sent to us. We think that would be unnecessary and invasive anyway!
We do the heavy lifting for you by automatically choosing a valid calculation method for your location (e.g. Moonsighting Committee, ISNA or the Muslim World League), and updating it whenever you travel. If you want to follow a particular method, you can easily change the settings in the app to your exact preferences.
Yes. Pillars is on the App Store and Google Play.
A small Muslim team spread across the globe, reflecting the diversity of our Ummah, with team members in the UK, USA, Ireland and Canada! We see building a prayer app as an amaanah, and we build it in the open with the people who use it.
