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 X (Twitter)

X thrives on outrage. The algorithm promotes content that generates engagement, and nothing generates engagement like conflict. You open the app to check the news and find yourself 20 minutes into an argument thread between strangers. The emotional residue of that scroll follows you into salah, into conversations with family, into the quiet moments where dhikr should live. At 34 minutes a day, the time cost is moderate. The attention cost is not. X fragments your focus in a way that lingers after you close the app. Gating it behind dhikr does not prevent you from reading the timeline. It ensures that the last thing on your tongue before entering that environment is SubhanAllah, not whatever headline is currently generating the most clicks.
