HalalScreen is an iOS app that locks addictive apps behind dhikr. When you open a blocked app, a Shield View appears where you count 33 SubhanAllah with haptic feedback. Complete your dhikr, then scroll.

What is HalalScreen trying to help with?

HalalScreen helps people build more halal screen time by putting a short dhikr gate before the apps that usually lead to distraction. The goal is to pause, remember Allah, and unlock with intention.

How does the dhikr gate work?

When you tap a locked app, the Shield View appears before the app opens. Complete 33 SubhanAllah, then the app unlocks.

Yes. HalalScreen is free with no ads and no tracking. Your dhikr data stays on your device. No account required.

How is HalalScreen different from other Islamic apps?

HalalScreen is an active gate, not a passive reminder. The dhikr happens before the feed appears, not after distraction has already started.

What is the 33 SubhanAllah count based on?

The 33-33-34 tasbih after salah is prescribed by the Prophet (PBUH) and recorded in Sahih Muslim and Sahih Bukhari. HalalScreen uses this same Sunnah count as the default dhikr gate.

Why Gate Chrome

Chrome on mobile carries your desktop browsing habits to your phone. Synced tabs, saved passwords, and bookmarks make it frictionless to pick up where you left off, which often means picking up distractions that followed you from your computer. Chrome also integrates Google Discover, a content feed that appears on the new tab page, turning your browser into yet another algorithmic scroll. At 25 minutes a day, Chrome usage is moderate. But those minutes are often the most unstructured screen time on your phone. No specific app, no specific purpose, just browsing. Gating Chrome behind dhikr fills that unstructured space with a moment of intention. Thirty-three SubhanAllah before the browser opens is enough to shift from aimless to aware.
