Terms of Use

Clear terms for a calm product.

These additional terms explain the yearly subscription, eligible free trials, lifetime access, and optional Apple integrations. The app is licensed under Apple’s standard EULA.

By downloading, accessing, or using Rakaat, you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, do not use the app.

License Agreement

  • Rakaat downloaded from the App Store is licensed under Apple's Standard End User License Agreement (EULA). These Terms explain Rakaat's features and billing and do not replace that agreement or limit your rights under it.

License Agreement

Using Rakaat

  • Rakaat is provided for personal, lawful use as a prayer companion.
  • You are responsible for how you use the app and your device settings.
  • We may improve, change, or update features over time.

Prayer Time Guidance

  • Prayer times are calculated based on your selected calculation method, madhab, and location data.
  • Prayer time calculations are powered by the open-source Adhan library by batoulapps.
  • Results may vary depending on location precision, timezone, and your selected settings.
  • When needed, you should verify times with your local mosque or trusted authority.
  • Location access is optional. With automatic location enabled and Always access granted, Rakaat uses significant location changes in the background to update prayer times and notifications during travel. You can change permissions in iOS Settings or choose a city manually. Updates depend on iOS and are not guaranteed to happen immediately.

Apple Home and Shortcuts Integration

  • Rakaat provides optional features to integrate with Apple Home (HomeKit) and Siri Shortcuts to trigger scenes or actions based on prayer times.
  • These automations are executed locally on your device or Apple Home Hub. We are not responsible for the execution, reliability, or physical consequences of any automations triggered in your physical environment (e.g., smart lighting, thermostats, or appliances).
  • It is your sole responsibility to ensure that your Home routines and connected devices operate safely and securely.

Subscriptions and Billing

  • You can get the Full Experience with a yearly subscription or a one-time lifetime purchase through the App Store.
  • The yearly subscription renews automatically and is billed once a year.
  • A lifetime purchase is a one-time payment and does not renew.
  • A monthly subscription bought earlier keeps renewing every month until you cancel it; it is no longer offered.
  • The yearly subscription may include a free trial for eligible users; its length is shown before purchase. Apple determines eligibility across the subscription group, including any earlier monthly trial. Unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the trial ends, it becomes a paid yearly subscription at the price shown. Trial availability may vary by region and offer.
  • The yearly subscription and lifetime purchase support Family Sharing for eligible members of your Apple Family group, subject to Apple settings and policies.
  • Buying lifetime access does not cancel an existing subscription. Cancel it in your App Store account settings to prevent further renewals.
  • Each plan’s price is shown before purchase. Prices may vary by region, currency, and applicable taxes.
  • Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase, or after an applicable free trial ends.
  • Your subscription renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current billing period.
  • Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours before the end of the current period.
  • You can manage or cancel your subscription at any time in your App Store account settings after purchase.
  • Purchases, billing, renewals, cancellations, refunds, and Family Sharing eligibility are handled by Apple under your Apple Account and applicable App Store terms and policies.

Data and Availability

  • Rakaat is local-first and may optionally sync through iCloud when enabled by you.
  • Some features depend on Apple services, device permissions, or internet availability.
  • We do not guarantee uninterrupted availability of all services at all times.

Disclaimer and Liability

  • Rakaat is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis.
  • To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of the app.
  • These Terms of Use do not limit any rights that cannot be waived under applicable law.

Changes and Contact

We may update these Terms of Use from time to time. Continued use of Rakaat after an update means you accept the revised terms.
