Prayer times
Set it up for Uzbekistan in two steps
Prayer times in Uzbekistan are published by the Muslim Board of Uzbekistan. Awwab has no method named after Uzbekistan. The closest is Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), which calculates Fajr and Isha at 15°. Awwab starts on the Egyptian method, so open Settings → Calculation method once and choose it.
Then choose Hanafi as your madhab. Asr then comes when a shadow is twice the object's height, as in the Board's tables.
Compared with the Board's tables for Tashkent, expect small differences:
- Bomdod (Fajr) about 2 to 5 minutes later. For saharlik, keep to the Board's taqvim.
- Peshin (Dhuhr) and Asr within about a minute.
- Shom (Maghrib) about 3 to 4 minutes earlier, because the Board adds a few minutes after sunset.
- Xufton (Isha) about 2 to 5 minutes earlier.
So the lock can start a few minutes before the mosque's azon at Shom. Pray with the azon, and in Ramadan break your fast with your mosque, not with the app.

The Shield (optional)
Want a little help staying present?
Completely optional. Awwab calls it the Shield: when it's time to pray, the apps you choose rest with you — and come back the moment you've prayed.
Choose the apps that can wait
Pick them through Apple's Screen Time. The choice stays on your phone, and Awwab never sees which apps they are.
They rest while you pray
When a prayer begins, those apps lock. Open one and you see a verse of the Qur'an and a way to your prayer, not a harsh “Blocked”.
Pray, and they come back
Mark the prayer as prayed and everything opens. If you truly need an app first, a short snooze lifts the lock for the time you set, from 1 to 30 minutes.
Free and private
No paywall, no ads, no tracking
Every feature is free. There is an optional supporter subscription for people who want to help the work continue; it unlocks nothing extra.
There is no account and no sign-in. The app shows no ads and has no analytics or tracking. Your prayers and settings live in your own private iCloud, and we never receive them.
Reminders for Ramadan, the two hayits and the other occasions follow the Umm al-Qura calendar. The Muslim Board announces the dates in Uzbekistan, and they can differ by a day; follow the Board.
Awwab is on the App Store for iPhone and Apple Watch, and on Google Play for Android.

Questions
Is Awwab free in Uzbekistan?
Yes. Every feature is free and the app has no ads. An optional supporter subscription exists for people who want to support the work; it unlocks nothing.
Which prayer-time method should I choose in Uzbekistan?
Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), in Settings → Calculation method, with Hanafi for Asr. Of the app's 11 methods it is the closest to the Muslim Board's tables, within a few minutes.
Why a North American method?
Awwab has no Uzbekistan preset yet. The ISNA preset uses 15° for Fajr and Isha, which comes closest to the Board's times.
Can I use the app for saharlik?
Use the Muslim Board's taqvim for saharlik and iftorlik. The app's Bomdod can be a few minutes later than the Board's and its Shom a few minutes earlier, and there are no manual minute adjustments yet.
Is the app available in Uzbek?
Yes. Awwab is in Uzbek, as well as in English, Arabic and 11 other languages. It starts in your phone's language; you can change it at any time in Settings → Language.
Does it work without the internet?
Yes. Prayer times and the Qibla are calculated on your phone, so they work offline.
Do I have to allow Screen Time?
Only for the lock. It is built on Apple's Screen Time, which you allow once. You can skip it during setup, and everything else in the app works without it. The list of apps you choose stays on your phone.
Is there an Android version?
Yes. Awwab is on Google Play for Android, and on the App Store for iPhone and Apple Watch.
