The overview

I designed and built WIRD to help make morning and evening adhkar a daily habit. The app saves your place and repetition counts as you read. If you enable Commitment, it can pause access to selected apps at your chosen time until you finish your adhkar.

01 / The challenge

Morning and evening adhkar are easy to put off when other apps compete for attention. Reading in short sessions also makes it easy to lose your place or forget how many repetitions remain.

02 / The response

I gave morning and evening their own sessions, with adjustable Arabic type, saved progress, and a counter for each remembrance. Commitment is optional. You choose the time and apps to restrict, and can temporarily open those apps or turn the restriction off.
