About Hamza
Hamza is a free prayer times app for your Mac. It lives in your menu bar, and at each prayer it opens from your notch so the time doesn't pass without you noticing.
Who it's for
Muslims who spend their day at a Mac. If you've ever looked up from your screen to find Asr nearly gone, Hamza was made for you.
Phone alerts are easy to silence, and a banner is easy to swipe away when you're deep in something. Hamza appears right where you're already looking, then gets out of your way.
At each prayer
- The notch opens with the salah whose time it is, a countdown to the next one, today's date with the Hijri date, and where you are.
- Turn on the adhan if you'd like to hear it. Choose the prayers it plays for and how loud, then mute it from the notch or close the notch to stop it.
- Add macOS notifications with sound, which wait in Notification Center if you're away.
- Set early reminders 5 to 30 minutes before, prayer by prayer.
No notch? Hamza opens from a small island at the top of your screen instead.
The rest of the day
Hamza waits quietly in your menu bar, showing the next prayer, a countdown, both, or just its mark. Click it for today's times, or open the notch to see the whole day laid along one arc, from Fajr to Isha.
Times you can trust
Hamza starts with the calculation method commonly used where you are, and everything can be changed:
- 12 calculation methods, including Muslim World League, ISNA, Umm Al-Qura and the Moonsighting Committee
- Standard or Hanafi Asr
- High-latitude rules for places far from the equator
- Adjustments for each prayer, to match your local mosque
Private by design
Prayer times are calculated on your Mac. There's no account, no ads and no analytics, and Hamza doesn't track your location.
