  2. Follow the guideA small moving phone shows where to tap, with your maker's words.
  3. Turn on Be MuminIn Accessibility, under Installed or Downloaded apps.
  4. Pick your appsChoose the apps that should rest at prayer time.

App Block questions.

Why does it need Accessibility?

It's the only way Android lets an app see which app has just opened, so it can show the pause. Be Mumin can't read what's on your screen.

Can I still make calls?

Yes. Phone, messages, maps, Settings and your keyboard can never be blocked.

What if I really need an app now?

Use Emergency skip on the popup and hold for 2 seconds. The app opens straight away.

Does it log my prayer?

Tapping I've prayed logs it. Emergency skip logs nothing.

Is App Block free?

Yes, with up to 3 apps and 30 minutes. Pro lets you pick all your apps and the length.

Give your next prayer your full attention.
