Your mosque’s times, not a generic calculation.
Most prayer apps live on your phone or in a browser tab, and many rely on generic calculation methods that can differ from your local mosque’s schedule.
The problem
- Prayer apps are mobile-first — your desktop is where you actually work.
- A browser tab with prayer times is easy to lose and forget.
- Generic calculation methods may not match your local mosque.
- Iqama and Jumuah times are set by the mosque, not by a formula.
What Al Munadi does
- Uses your mosque’s public Mawaqit page, including Iqama and Jumuah.
- Puts the next prayer directly in your desktop bar, tray, or menu bar.
- Keeps working from cached data when you’re offline.
- Open source, no account, no setup beyond picking your mosque.
Find your mosque
Search public Mawaqit mosques and copy the link into Al Munadi.
Start typing to find a mosque.
The finder searches public Mawaqit mosque data through this project’s proxy. If your mosque isn’t listed, check whether it has a public page on Mawaqit. Al Munadi is an independent project, not an official Mawaqit directory.
Built around your local mosque.
Instead of generic calculation settings, Al Munadi uses the public Mawaqit page of your mosque — including Iqama and Jumuah times when available.

Frequently asked questions
What is Al Munadi?
Al Munadi (المُنادي, “the caller”) is a desktop prayer-time companion. It shows the next prayer, a countdown, and your mosque’s full daily schedule in your desktop bar, tray, or menu bar, using public Mawaqit mosque pages.
Is Al Munadi an official Mawaqit app?
No. Al Munadi is an independent open-source project powered by public Mawaqit data. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Mawaqit.
Which platforms are supported?
Windows (system tray app), macOS (menu bar app), Linux trays such as KDE, XFCE, Cinnamon, and MATE, and GNOME Shell via a native top bar extension.
Does it work with my mosque?
It works with any mosque that has a public page on mawaqit.net. Use the finder above to check — if your mosque appears, you’re set.
Why does it use Mawaqit?
Mawaqit pages are maintained by the mosques themselves, so the times — including Iqama and Jumuah — match what your mosque actually follows, rather than a generic calculation method.
Does it work offline?
The offline cache keeps the last fetched prayer times available when your network is down. Fresh updates still require an internet connection.
Does it support Iqama times?
Yes — Iqama times are shown whenever your mosque provides them on its Mawaqit page.
Does it support Jumuah?
Yes. On Fridays, Jumuah can replace Dhuhr, and it has its own reminder setting, depending on what your mosque publishes.
Can it play the Adhan?
Yes — you can point Al Munadi to your own Adhan audio file, and it plays at each prayer time.
Can I save multiple mosques?
Yes. You can save several mosques and switch between them instantly.
Is it free?
Yes, completely free. There are no paid tiers, accounts, or ads.
Is it open source?
Yes — the whole project is licensed under GPL-3.0 and developed in the open on GitHub.
Why does the website use an API proxy?
The Mawaqit search endpoint does not send browser CORS headers, so this site can’t call it directly. A small Cloudflare Worker proxies the search, with caching, rate limiting, and response filtering, and returns only the public fields the finder needs.
Built for the desktop, in the open.
Native integrations on every platform — a GNOME Shell extension, a Swift menu bar app, and Python tray apps — plus a static website and a small Cloudflare Worker for search. Tests included.
