Update on Kahf: Adding Travel Mode so you never miss a prayer while flying (In-Flight Prayer Calculations)
Salaam everyone,
A little while ago I shared Kahf here — a Friday companion app I built as a revert. The response was really encouraging, jazakAllah khair to everyone who tried it.
Wanted to share what I've been working on since: Travel Mode.
The idea came from my own experience: I was flying and genuinely had no idea when to pray, which timezone to go by, or whether I should be shortening my prayers. I couldn't find anything that actually solved this properly, so I started building it.
Here's what it'll do:
• Enter your flight details (airports, times) and Kahf works out every prayer for your journey
• Prayer times split into before takeoff, during the flight, and after landing
• Automatically adjusts for departure and arrival timezones
• A Traveller's Guide covering Qasr (shortening prayers) and combining Dhuhr+Asr / Maghrib+Isha
• Route map so you can see your journey visually
• Qibla direction for praying in-flight
It's still in development but you can see the full preview on the website: https://josephhvhayes.com/alkahf
The core app is still live and free on iOS: Prayer times, Surah Al-Kahf & Al-Mulk, Golden Hour, Qibla, Sadaqah with zero fees 🍉
I'd love to hear from anyone who travels regularly? How do you currently handle prayer times when you fly? Anything you'd want from a feature like this?

Built a simple Islamic app as a revert (Surah Al-Kahf, prayer times & charity)
Salaam everyone,
I’m a relatively new revert, and as an iOS engineer I wanted something simple that would actually help me stay consistent every Friday… so I ended up building my own app.
It’s called Kahf, and the idea is straightforward: a clean, focused companion for Surah Al-Kahf, prayer times, and small acts of charity. No clutter, no overwhelm, just the essentials done properly.
A few things I built into it:
• Easy reading for Surah Al-Kahf (and Surah Al-Mulk at night)
• Prayer times based on your location + Qibla direction
• A Friday “golden hour” reminder before Maghrib
• Built-in charity donations with a simple flow
• Progress tracking so you actually stay consistent
As someone still learning, I found a lot of apps had too much going on — I just wanted something that gently keeps me on track without distractions.
Would genuinely appreciate any feedback from you all, especially what you feel is missing for Fridays or daily use.
