Halal Scroll

Turn scrolling into remembrance

Halal Scroll blocks the apps you can't put down until you've recited a short surah, dua or dhikr. Completely free, with no ads.

The Halal Scroll home screen: 6 hours 25 minutes in ibadah instead of scrolling, 7 of 10 minutes towards today's goal, and a 12 day streak.

Spending too much time on your phone?

Doom scrolling on apps that are built to keep you there, getting nothing done. Sometimes picking up your phone without even realising.

Halal Scroll turns that time into something better: the remembrance of Allah, with dua, dhikr and short surahs.

Indeed, in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest.

Surah Ar-Ra'd 13:28

How it works

  1. It blocks the apps you choose

    Social media, or any app you find hard to put down. When you reach for one, Halal Scroll steps in first.

  2. You recite, and it opens

    A short surah, a dua or some dhikr. Some take only fifteen seconds. Then the app opens for a short time.

  3. It reminds you again

    Every now and then while you're using the app, so you don't stay on your phone forever.

Completely free, with no ads

If you choose to support Halal Scroll, all of it is given away as sadaqah.

Know someone who needs a break from their phone?

Send them Halal Scroll. The Prophet ﷺ said: whoever guides someone to goodness will have a reward like the one who did it.Sahih Muslim 1893

May Allah make this app a means of barakah for you. Ameen.
