Our Approach

We built Noorani around a single idea: what if the browser already knew? Prayer times, Qibla, and the Hijri calendar were treated as core browser features from the start, computed locally rather than fetched from a server, so the product’s privacy claims and its core functionality reinforce each other instead of competing.

We supported eight prayer time calculation methods and both Hanafi and Shafi Asr methods so the browser works correctly across different regions and schools of thought, paired with a great-circle Qibla calculation for accuracy. On top of the core religious features, we built a full browsing experience: aggressive tracker blocking on by default, an optional multi-level content filter with no shaming language, and a dedicated Ramadan mode that calms the interface and adds suhoor and iftar countdowns during the month.

Core Principles

• Build it in, don’t bolt it on — prayer times, Qibla, and Hijri calendar live inside the browser itself
• Compute locally, not on a server — prayer times and location never leave the user’s device
• No telemetry, ever — no analytics server collects browsing or location data
• Open by design — the full source code is publicly available for anyone to verify
• No ads, ever — the product does not sell placements or broker user attention
• Free and frictionless — no account required, just download and go
