Samarkand’s sky: Ulugh Beg and the art of timing the dawn
Six hundred years ago a prince built an instrument the size of a hill to measure the sky. The Fajr time on your phone is its distant grandchild.

Won't go quietuntil you're up.
An alarm for the hour before sunrise. It keeps ringing until you finish a short mission — a sum, a sentence, a walk — so getting up is no longer a half-asleep decision.

Scroll — the night turns into morning
Home is the sky
Your countdown over the real horizon.
The sun at its true height, the moon at night, stars pinned to the hour, every prayer marked where it falls. Drag across it to walk through the day; it clicks like a dial under your finger. This band is the app's own, computed for Tashkent today.

The alarm
It rings until the mission is done.
Most alarms lose because silencing one takes a thumb. Safa asks for a little more, then gets out of your way. Try it: the phone is ringing — solve the sum.
- 1The alarm is scheduled by the system, not the app: close Safa, restart the phone — it is still set.
- 2Fifteen minutes before, a quiet notice: already up? Stand it down before it rings.
- 3There is always a way out: a ten-second press-and-hold emergency stop on every mission screen. It costs your streak, and it is never hidden.

Ten missions
Pick one, choose how hard — or chain up to three.
Each one opens your eyes and switches your mind on. Want a plain alarm instead? "No mission" is one tap.
Free
Sums
A few sums — you type the answer yourself, no multiple choice.
Free
Pairs
Turn a card, find its match. It won't come together until memory is awake.
Free
Word order
Tap the shuffled words back into the sentence's order. Silent, works in the dark.
Free
Out loud
Read a short passage aloud. The audio never leaves your phone.
Free
Hold
Keep a finger on the screen until the ring fills. The simplest — but awake.
Free
Qibla
Turn the phone to the Qibla and hold it steady for a few seconds.
Tong
Steps
Get up and walk the count. Shaking the phone doesn't count.
Tong
Sentence
Copy the sentence exactly — every letter, every mark.
Tong
Shake
Shake the phone the set number of times. Not from under the blanket.
Tong
Scan
Register any product's code in the evening. At dawn, find it and scan it.
Six are free. Four — steps, sentence, shake, scan — come with Safa Tong; sixty unbroken mornings earn exactly the same.
Mornings that fit real life
The alarm bends to you, too.
01
"I'm awake"
Up before the alarm? Do the mission early — the morning counts and the alarm stands down.
02
Skip a morning
Skip a single morning without switching the alarm off. Your streak stays.
03
No mission, too
A new alarm starts with no mission; add one when you want it. Two alarms on the same minute ring once.
Together
The dawn stairs.
One step for every milestone from the first morning to the three hundred and sixty-fifth, everyone on theirs, you in gold. No likes, no comments, no messages: the only thing you can send another person is a preset dua, once.
One lantern
Supporters light a single lantern — a real one, lit by its candle and swinging when you tilt the phone. Amounts are never shown.

Ilhom · Dawn almanac
Fajr moves every day. Here's where.
Tomorrow's first light and sunrise, the moon, and how dawn drifts through the month. And short guides for sleeping and waking, laid along the night from evening to morning.

Zikr counter
Counts without being watched.
Every tap is a bead that flies into its place on a slowly turning sphere, and when the round is full the beads string themselves into a tasbih. Try it — fill the sphere.

Ufq — a new widget
The sky and the countdown on your home screen.
Home's horizon became a widget: the countdown ticks, the light burns down along the band, the picture is redrawn through the day. iOS and Android.
With Safa TongAll day
The rest of the morning is here too.
Prayer times
For wherever you are, offline. The Muslim Board of Uzbekistan method matches the official timetable; MWL, Umm al-Qura and ISNA are there too.
Qibla
A compass corrected to true north. Calibrated on the spot when it needs to be.
Streak and badges
Every morning you got up on your own counts. Badges lie along a road, the next one in sight.
In four languages
Uzbek (Cyrillic and Latin), Russian and English, from the first screen to the last mission.
Promises

03Your coordinates stay on the phone. Start with no account at all.
04Worship is never behind a paywall. Supporter amounts are never shown.
05No likes, no comments, no DMs. This isn't social media.
