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 Pinterest

Pinterest is aspirational consumption. You browse wedding ideas, home decor, recipes, and outfit inspiration. The content is not offensive or wasteful in isolation. The issue is the accumulation: 14 minutes a day of browsing things you want but do not have, lives you imagine but do not live, aesthetics you save but never execute. Pinterest's infinite scroll of beautiful images creates a low-grade dissatisfaction that is difficult to name. You close the app not feeling worse, exactly, but not feeling better either. Gating it behind dhikr is light. Fourteen minutes a day likely means one or two sessions. Thirty-three SubhanAllah before each is a small practice with a specific effect: it grounds you in gratitude before you enter a space designed around aspiration.
