Short answer

Salah Home is the best prayer tracker app overall in 2026, because every prayer you log earns Dates to build your own peaceful virtual home, with one-tap logging, streaks and a gentle, guilt-free design. For narrower needs, Just Pray adds lessons and reminders, Pillars offers ad-free prayer times, Deeny and Salah Focus lock distracting apps at prayer time, Muslim Pro is an all-in-one Muslim app, and 5te5 focuses on learning to pray.

Searching for a prayer tracker app turns up dozens of options, and most of them look similar at first glance. The real differences are in what each app is built around: prayer times and alerts, blocking distractions, teaching beginners, or motivating you to stay consistent. This guide compares the most popular prayer tracker apps on iPhone. Our verdict: Salah Home is the best overall prayer tracker for most people, because it makes staying consistent simple and rewarding, and the other apps are strong alternatives if you have a narrower need.

Salah Home: best overall prayer tracker

Salah Home is an iPhone prayer tracker where every prayer you log earns Dates to build and decorate your own peaceful virtual home. It is free to download, with an optional Premium upgrade and no ads. You tap to log Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha, build a prayer streak, and spend the Dates you earn on furniture, fountains, mihrabs, pergolas and gardens that you place wherever you like.

Why it's our top pick: most people already know when to pray and need help staying consistent, and that is exactly what Salah Home is built for. One tap logs each prayer, your streak and prayer history update instantly, and the home you build becomes a visual record of your consistency. Its gentle, encouraging design means a missed prayer is a reason to log the next one, not to give up.

Keep in mind: Salah Home is built around tracking and motivation rather than prayer-time tools, so if you want detailed prayer-time calculations, an adhan, or a Qibla compass, pair it with a prayer times app. It is also new: it launched on the App Store for iPhone in October 2026.

Just Pray: best all-in-one tracker for beginners

Just Pray describes itself as a way to "build a daily prayer habit" and "learn salah." Its App Store listing includes illustrated, step-by-step guides to wudu and all five prayers, location-based prayer times, up to three reminders per prayer, a Fajr alarm that you turn off by scanning an object in your room, streaks and statistics, prayer blocking, accountability "Circles" with friends, widgets, and a "Garden of Deeds" that grows as you log prayers.

Choose it if: you are new to prayer or a revert and want lessons, alarms and tracking in a single app.

Pillars: best for prayer times without ads

Pillars is built around accurate prayer times with a strong stance on no ads and privacy. Its listing highlights multiple calculation methods, early or late Asr depending on your madhab, a smart Qibla, prayer notifications, home and lock screen widgets, a prayer tracker, a fasting tracker, and a pause button so women do not lose their streak during menstruation.

Choose it if: you mainly want reliable prayer times and notifications in a clean, ad-free app, with tracking as a bonus.

Deeny: best if your phone is the problem

Deeny is a prayer app blocker. At each prayer time it locks the apps you choose, such as social media or games, and they stay locked until you confirm you have prayed. Its free tier lists prayer times with 20+ calculation methods, prayer reminders, a Qibla compass and "Today's Surahs." The app locks, a Fajr alarm with no snooze, and its prayer tracker after your first two days are part of Deeny Pro.

Choose it if: you usually miss prayers because you are scrolling, not because you forget.

Salah Focus: best for focused, distraction-free salah

Salah Focus also blocks distracting apps during each prayer, using Apple's FamilyControls API, and adds adhan alarms, location-based prayer times, reminders tailored to your madhab, a prayer streak, and Quran reading with audio. Full features require a subscription.

Choose it if: you want app blocking plus prayer times in one subscription app.

Muslim Pro: best all-in-one Muslim app

Muslim Pro is one of the longest-running Muslim apps on the App Store, first released in 2010. It combines prayer times with athan notifications, the full Quran with audio recitations and translations, a Qibla finder and an Islamic calendar.

Choose it if: you want one app for prayer times, Quran and daily Muslim life, and tracking is secondary. If you want something more focused, see our guide to the best Muslim Pro alternatives.

5te5 Prayer Tracker: best simple, free option for learning

5te5 is designed for people who are new to prayer or want to improve their prayers. Its listing says it is completely free and includes instructional videos and motivational messages to help you get used to praying, along with prayer times.

Choose it if: you want a simple, free app focused on learning to pray.

How to choose the right prayer tracker

For most people, the best choice is Salah Home. If you have a more specific need, ask yourself one question: why do I miss prayers?

  • I know when to pray but can't stay consistent. This is the most common reason, and Salah Home is built for it: motivation, visible progress, and a gentle approach.
  • I don't know the prayer times or forget them. Choose an app built around prayer times and alerts, like Pillars or Muslim Pro.
  • I get distracted by my phone. Choose an app blocker like Deeny or Salah Focus.
  • I don't know how to pray yet. Choose an app with lessons, like Just Pray or 5te5.

Many people use two apps together: a prayer times app for alerts and Salah Home for tracking. Whatever you choose, the app is only a tool. The Prophet ﷺ said that the most beloved deed to Allah is the most regular and constant, even if it is small (Sahih al-Bukhari 6464), so pick the one that helps you show up every day.
