Every change, and why it was made.

Fixed

• The bell on the Horizon face

  When the menu bar panel shows the Horizon, the alert bell sits on a small disc over the sky. The disc was a faint white, so in dark mode the bell, drawn in a pale blue, was hard to see, and during the adhan the white Stop button that takes the bell's place could hardly be read in light mode. The disc is now the Lantern's navy, which the sky still shows through, and the bell and the Stop button on it are both white, in light and dark, like the date beside them. With Sky intensity turned well down toward Subtle, the sky pales in light mode, and white on the disc can be hard to see.

New

• Tint and intensity for Liquid Glass

  Settings › Appearance › Liquid Glass. Tint is None, Gold or Accent — your Mac's accent colour — and Intensity runs from Subtle to Vivid, like Sky intensity. It reaches the window's sidebar, the Quran player and the menu bar panel, but most of the colour goes on the sidebar: the player and the panel take only a little at any intensity, so their text stays easy to read. With None, Intensity changes only the sidebar. Once the setting leaves None at Subtle, the sidebar's icons take the colour of their labels, and with Gold the player's juz is drawn in the text colour instead of gold on gold. At None and Subtle, where it starts, nothing changes. On macOS 14 and 15 the section is not there.

Improved

• A line where the sidebar ends

  On the new macOS the window's sidebar is glass, and the section beside it carries on underneath it, so the sidebar took its colour from the section. The two met a shade apart with no edge between them, especially in dark mode, and beside the Quran's surah list — a list next to a list — they read as one. A thin line now runs the full height between them, the same line that already stood between the surah list and the reader. On macOS 14 and 15 nothing changes.

Fixed

• The panel's glass after your Mac changes between light and dark

  The menu bar panel kept the shade of glass it was given when it first opened, so once your Mac switched between light and dark — as Auto appearance does at dusk and dawn — the panel's glass stayed in the other appearance's shade until Iqamah quit. It now changes with the Mac. On macOS 14 and 15 the panel was not affected.

• The selected section's icon in the sidebar

  When the sidebar has the keyboard focus, its selected row is filled with your accent colour, and in 2.11.0 the section's icon, drawn in that same colour, disappeared into it. The icon is now white, like the section's name.

• The PRO badge in light mode

  It was bright gold on a pale sidebar and hard to read. It now uses the darker gold Iqamah uses for gold text in light mode, and, like the icons, it turns white on the focused selection and takes the text colour once the Liquid Glass setting leaves None at Subtle.

• The white days in light mode

  In the Hijri Calendar and in Fasting, the 13th, 14th and 15th of each month were drawn in bright gold on a pale grey square, which made them the hardest numbers on the page to read. They now use the same darker gold as the PRO badge, inside the same gold ring. The moon on the Ayyam al-Beed card, in the calendar and in the menu bar panel, takes it too, and so does the large icon shown for a section that needs Iqamah Pro. In Edit Dhikr, the sparkles beside a dhikr you added take it as well, and turn white when their row is highlighted. Dark mode is unchanged.

• The bell on the Lantern face

  When the menu bar panel shows the Lantern, the alert bell in its top corner was drawn black on the navy in light mode, where it could hardly be seen. It is now gold, in light and dark, like the Lantern's crescent.

New

• Hasanat, in sha Allah

  Habits, under Quran, now counts ten for every letter of the Quran you hear to the end of its ayah, and for every letter of each juz you mark as recited, after the hadith in Jami' at-Tirmidhi 2910. Until this version Iqamah kept how many ayat you heard each day but not which, so those days are estimated at the Quran's average of about 52 letters an ayah, and the figure carries a ≈ while any of them are in the last thirty days.

Improved

• The recitation player, on the new macOS

  It is one row now, floating in Liquid Glass a little above the bottom of the window, with the Quran scrolling on beneath it. The juz you are in has moved up beside the ayah's name. On macOS 14 and 15 it keeps its flat bar.

• The Quran figures in Habits, in two rows

  How steadily you listen is on top and how much is underneath, so no figure is cut off in any of the eighteen languages. The squares in each row now share one height and one top, on every tab.

• "35% of the Quran"

  The juz line above the surah list now says its percentage is of the whole Quran, so it no longer reads as a second answer to the player's progress through the juz.

• Every surah's name, whole

  In French, Russian and Portuguese, and in places in six other languages, the Arabic name of a surah was cut to its first letters. It is drawn whole in every row now, and where the line beneath it does not fit, the ayah count sits over Makki or Madani instead.

Fixed

• Fridays no longer cost your battery

  From the moment Friday Focus opened, the gold border around its hadith redrew itself every frame, and kept doing so after the window closed, until Iqamah quit. That is why macOS sometimes listed Iqamah as using significant energy. It now costs next to nothing, and it looks the same.

• "kCLErrorDomain error 0" when setting your location

  When your Mac could not find its location at the first attempt, Settings showed that error and gave up. Iqamah now keeps trying for up to thirty seconds, as macOS expects, and if it still cannot, it says so in plain words, in your language, with what to try next. A city you type is no longer replaced by a location request that was still on its way.

New

• The five times prayer is not offered, with the difference between them kept

  While the sun rises, while it stands at its zenith and while it sets, prayer is not offered at all. In the two long spans it is voluntary prayer that is discouraged, and only once you have prayed that window's obligatory prayer — which is what the window is for. The rows say so: After you pray Fajr, not After Fajr, because the app knows when the window opened and not when you prayed.

• The twelve rak'ah, each at the time it belongs to

  Two before Fajr, four before Dhuhr and two after, two after Maghrib, two after Isha. The ones that come after sit past the end of that prayer's own slot in the day planner rather than on its adhan, so the row is a time you could actually pray it. Asr carries none, deliberately: this is the confirmed set. Duha and Tahajjud join the card only if you already have their rows turned on.

• Both cards have a switch, and both start on

  Settings, under Today. Turning one off leaves nothing behind on the page.

• The Ramadan countdown, in the menu bar panel

  It was in the Fasting tab only, which is not where somebody marking a prayer is looking. It is in both now, reading from one place so the two can never disagree, and it takes itself away for the whole of Ramadan.

Fixed

• An excused day can be undone from any square on it

  Right-clicking the Duha or Tahajjud square on an excused day opened a menu with nothing in it, so the only way back was through one of the five obligatory squares — and on a day where you had marked only Duha, nothing on screen told you that. Both now offer The whole day is not excused, and it clears the day at once.

• A chip that looked like a button and was not one

  Today's prayer chips are not pressable while the day is excused, which is correct — but they still drew as live controls, took a press and did nothing with it. They now read as plain text until the excusal is cleared, to VoiceOver as well as to the eye.

New

• The word being recited is the word you are looking at

  Press play in the Quran reader and the ayah being recited now shows you exactly where the voice is: the current word stays at full strength while the rest of the ayah steps back a little, and it moves as the reciting moves. Nothing to turn on and no mode to leave — if the voice has timings, the words follow.

• When the reciter goes back, so does the highlight

  Sheikh Maher Al-Muaiqly repeats a phrase in a good many ayat, and the highlight repeats it with him rather than running ahead and waiting. In Ya-Sin 47 he recites twelve words, returns to the eighth, and carries on from the thirteenth — and that is what you see.

• Both voices, two different ways

  Word timings have to match the exact recording being played or the highlight drifts against the voice. For Sheikh Maher Al-Muaiqly they were published for his recording and checked against ours word by word. For Sheikh Ali Al-Hudhaify none existed anywhere, so they were measured directly from his recording — every word of every ayah — and where he repeats a phrase the highlight repeats it with him.

Improved

• ⌘F goes to the search

  In the Quran window, ⌘F now puts the cursor in the search field so you can type straight away. It never did: the menu item was there and nothing answered it.

Fixed

• The page turns when the recitation does

  With "continue into the next surah" on, the voice would carry on from 96:19 into Al-Qadr while the reader stayed on Al-Alaq. The reader now follows — but only if it was already on the surah that finished. If you have wandered elsewhere, it leaves you there.

New

• Excuse a prayer, not a day

  Right-click any square in the prayer grid, or any row in the menu-bar panel, and excuse that prayer alone — or the whole day, which is still one item away. Your percentage counts only the prayers that were actually due: three excused and two prayed is two of two, not two of five. An excused prayer that already carried a mark shows the mark rather than burying it, a day that is only partly excused says so when you hover its header, and a day carrying any excusal never breaks your streak. A prayer whose window has not opened yet can be excused too, which is what a cycle starting this afternoon needs.

• A cycle is a range

  Her own words were "mark Fajr as the starting prayer and Dhuhr as the ending prayer", and there are two ways to do exactly that. On the grid, right-click a square, choose Excused from here…, and click the last one — everything between previews as you move, and Escape calls it off. Or open Excused Prayers… from the tracker's toolbar and pick the first prayer, the last prayer and a reason in a form, which also un-excuses a run the same way. Either way you are told what it will write before it writes it. During Ramadan the app asks once about the fasts a range breaks, and it asks only about the days a fast was actually broken on — a day where only Isha is excused kept its fast to Maghrib and owes nothing.

• Transliteration under the Arabic

  The whole mushaf now has a romanised line, off until you ask for it: turn it on from the reader's text-size menu or in Settings ▸ Quran ▸ Reading, and it sits between the Arabic and the translation, quieter than both. It keeps the long vowels and the ayn that tell you how a word is actually said, and where you have no translation showing it stands on its own under the mushaf. Favourites shows it too.

Improved

• The Today tab draws the line it was implying

  A busy hour from your calendar and the prayer time suggested beside it used to be separated by three points of height and nothing else. Busy time now carries a light diagonal weave, a suggested slot is outlined where it meets one, and two back-to-back meetings read as two rather than one long block. Your calendar still gives up only its busy times, never a title.

• Search reads the transliteration

  Type khannaas into the Quran search and you land on the fourth ayah of An-Naas, because the field now compares what you type against the romanised line itself. That closes a gap you had no way of seeing: the older romanisation dropped doubled letters, so a word as common as rabbana found nothing at all. It finds 82 ayat now. You do not have to turn the transliteration on to search it.

Fixed

• The Friday card stops arriving after Jumu'ah

  The Friday Focus window opened three hours before Dhuhr, which was always right, and then stayed open all afternoon. It now closes at Dhuhr. Asking for it yourself — from the card or the notification — still works at any hour, because that is a request rather than a reminder.

• ⌘, opens Settings

  It never did. An unused menu item was holding the shortcut and dropping it, from every window in the app.

• Two messages that still said "Preferences."

  The Today tab's two calendar-unavailable notices now say Settings, the same word the rest of the app and macOS itself use, in all eighteen languages.

• The Today tab stops calling your calendar empty when it is not

  No prayer window covers the hours between sunrise and Dhuhr, so a meeting sitting in there took the "Nothing is on your calendar today" line away and then appeared in none of the rows. The tab now says the true thing instead: nothing on your calendar overlaps a prayer window today. The hours between sunrise and Dhuhr are still not drawn.

• The habit grid follows an excusal made from the menu bar

  Excuse a prayer from the menu-bar panel and the Habit Tracker's grid kept drawing the day as it was, until something else happened to redraw it. The window watches for excusals now, including one arriving from another Mac. The gap is older than this release; excusing a single prayer from the panel, which is new here, is what made it easy to meet.

New

• Unmark a dhikr day

  A green square in the Habit Tracker's dhikr grid is a button again: tap it and the day is cleared, tap once more and it is restored. A day you counted past the target asks before clearing, because a second tap brings back only the target, never the tally. A cleared day stays cleared on your other Macs too, instead of quietly returning with the next sync.

• The thirty juz, everywhere you reach for them

  A quiet gold rule marks where each juz begins in the reader. While recitation plays, the player shows which juz you are in and how much of it is left, and above the surah list a bar keeps the longer answer: Juz 23 of 30, and how far through the mushaf that is. Type juz 23 into the search — or الجزء ٢٣, or پارہ — and Return takes you to its first ayah. Built for Ramadan, useful all year.

• A second voice: Sheikh Ali Al-Hudhaify

  The reciter menu holds a real choice now — Ali Al-Hudhaify, imam of the Prophet's Mosque, joins Maher Al-Muaiqly, both from the King Fahd Complex's own recordings, both free, ayah by ayah, with the same offline downloads. Switch mid-recitation and the ayah you are hearing continues in the new voice.

• Your khatmah, in the habit tracker

  The Quran mode gains a Juz row with two honest sources. Recited a juz yourself? Mark it — on the juz's own line in the reader, or from the tracker, where a slip is unmarked the same way. Listened instead? The app notices on its own: a juz counts as completed by listening only when every one of its ayat has played to its end. Both travel in your exported settings and to your other Macs with Settings sync.

• Write on the mushaf's margin

  Every ayah takes a note now — a pencil beside the heart and the ribbon opens a small editor right on the ayah, for the thought you had while reading. Noted ayat keep a quiet gold pencil, My Notes in the sidebar gathers everything you have written in mushaf order, and a click there takes you back to the ayah. Notes travel in your exported settings and to your other Macs with Settings sync; deleting one deletes it everywhere.

Improved

• The recitation plays until you stop it

  Moving to Habits, closing the window, hiding the app — none of it pauses the audio any more. The menu bar's Now Playing card stays in charge wherever you are, and only your own pause, stop, or quitting silences the recitation. The Resume playback when returning to the Quran switch is retired: with nothing pausing behind your back, there is nothing left for it to resume.

• The ayah numbers wear gold

  The rosette that closes every ayah now takes the reader's gold, the way the mushaf illuminates its markers — a reader's suggestion, from her own mockup review.

• New reciters reach you without an update

  The app checks for newly published voices on its own, the menu picks them up without a restart — and when only one voice is available, the reciter's name is a plain label instead of a menu pretending at a choice.

Fixed

• The widget gallery loads its previews

  Adding a widget could show a card that filled in and then went nearly blank. The gallery now always previews what the widget looks like doing its job; your installed widgets keep showing your own times.

New

• The Quran, in the Iqamah window

  A new section, second in the sidebar, with all 114 surahs and the mushaf's own Uthmani text drawn in a typeface made for it. It is free: the reading, the listening, the downloads, all of it.

• Recitation by Sheikh Maher Al-Muaiqly, ayah by ayah

  Press play and the recitation follows the text, lighting the ayah being recited and keeping it in view. Repeat one ayah, repeat a surah, or let it carry on into the next surah on its own, in the order of the mushaf, all the way to An-Nas.

• Keep a surah, or the whole Quran, on your Mac

  One button downloads the surah you are reading for listening without a connection. Settings › Quran has the other one: the whole Quran, which tells you what it will cost before it starts, shows you how far it has got, and stops the moment you cancel. Remove it all again from the same place.

• Listen, from the Friday card

  The panel's Friday card already said "Surat al-Kahf, go early, listen closely". Now it has a play button that does the second half.

• Now Playing, in the menu bar

  While something is playing or paused, the panel shows what: the surah, the ayah, the reciter, and a pause button. Click the card and the window opens at exactly that ayah, so a recitation started after Fajr is one click away all morning.

• A translation under every ayah, and only the ones we would read ourselves

  Two English translations, Saheeh International and Al-Hilali & Khan, offered whatever language the app is speaking and picked from the reader's own menu. Saheeh International is the one you get without asking. Arabic shows none unless you ask for it, since the ayah is already there. Dr. Mustafa Khattab's The Clear Quran joins them once its publisher confirms.

• Notes, where the translator wrote them

  Translations that carry footnotes keep them. A quiet Notes line under the translation opens them, and the numbered markers in the text finally point somewhere.

• Find an ayah by its Arabic, by its meaning, or by the way it sounds

  Type "18", "kahf" or "cave" for Al-Kahf. Type "merciful" and it searches the translation you are reading. Type "rahman", "bismillah" or "ya sin" and it finds the Arabic without your needing the script or the vowels, and "الرحمان" finds it just as "الرحمن" does. Results stay in the order of the mushaf.

• Favourite an ayah with the heart

  The ones you mark gather in their own view, in mushaf order, and they travel to your other Macs if you have Settings sync on.

• A bookmark for where you stopped

  One ribbon, moved wherever you put it, and it travels with them. Beside it, the app quietly remembers where this Mac was last reading, so you can pick up where you left off even if you never set one.

• The app remembers where the recitation stopped, on its own

  Separately from your bookmark and separately from where you were reading. Quit halfway through a surah, come back tomorrow, and a Continue listening row above the surah list names the ayah you had reached. Click it and the recitation picks up from there. Listening no longer moves the reading position, so the surah you are working through stays where you left it.

• Three text sizes

  Small, medium or large, from the reader's own menu, for the Arabic and the translation together.

• Listening joins the habit record

  The Habits window has a third mode, beside Prayers and Dhikr, counting the ayat you have heard each day. Only an ayah that plays all the way to its end is counted, so skipping past one records nothing. There is nothing to mark by hand: the app counts what it can actually hear. The record travels in your exported settings and to your other Macs with Settings sync, where the higher count for a day always wins.

• Set your own target for any dhikr

  33, 100, a number of your own, or no target at all — count as long as you like, with nothing that says you have fallen short.

• Two routines that walk the sequence for you

  After prayer and Before sleep; finish one step and the ring moves to the next on its own.

• The meaning and pronunciation, right on the counter,

  in the language you already read the app in.

• Edit Dhikr…

  Add a dhikr of your own, hide the built-ins you never reach for, and set a target on any of them. Backspace undoes a slip of the finger, and a finished round no longer erases today's count.

Improved

• The Friday reminder opens Surat al-Kahf

  The reminder now carries a Read Surat al-Kahf button, and the Friday window has Read and Listen beside the same line. Each one takes you to your bookmark if you left one inside the surah, and to the beginning if you did not.

• The adhan pauses the recitation

  If the Quran is playing when the adhan comes on, the recitation stops and picks up again from the same ayah once the adhan is finished. With Play dua after adhan switched on it waits for the dua too. Only what the adhan interrupted comes back: a recitation you had already paused stays paused.

• Type an ayah's number and press Return

  Typing 18:45 into the search field has always offered a Go to row. Now Return takes it: the reader opens at that ayah and the search field clears itself. A search for words still waits for you to pick from the results.

• Version History, when there is nothing to update to

  Checking for updates on a copy that is already current now offers a Version History button beside OK, which opens the changelog at the version you are running.

• Resume where you left off, if you ask for it

  Settings › Quran gains Resume playback when returning to the Quran: leave the section mid-recitation and coming back picks the audio up by itself. It is off unless you turn it on, and a pause of your own is always respected.

New

• Set your own target for any dhikr

  33, 100, a number of your own, or no target at all — count as long as you like, with nothing that says you have fallen short.

• Two routines that walk the sequence for you

  After prayer counts SubhanAllah, Alhamdulillah and Allahu Akbar thirty-three times each, then the tahlil to make a hundred. Before sleep counts tasbih, tahmid and takbir the way the Prophet ﷺ taught Ali and Fatimah. Finish one step and the ring moves to the next on its own.

• The meaning and pronunciation, right on the counter

  Under the Arabic, in the language you already read the app in — no more opening a separate sheet to learn what you are saying.

• Edit Dhikr…

  Add a dhikr of your own, hide the built-ins you never reach for, and set a target on any of them — from the counter itself or from the Habits window.

Improved

• A finished round no longer erases today's count

  Count to your target, and going again starts fresh without losing what you already said. The ring tracks the round in front of you; your day's total is kept beside it and stays until the day rolls over.

• Backspace undoes one count

  A slip of the finger no longer has to stand — something a physical tasbih cannot offer.

• Settings › Appearance now fits a smaller screen

  The pane scrolls and sizes itself to its content, so every control is reachable on a 13" display.

Fixed

• The complete tahlil's evidence pointed at the wrong hadith

  "La ilaha illa Allah, alone, without partner…" — the version said one hundred times a day — is narrated in Sahih al-Bukhari 6403; the shorter "La ilaha illa Allah" on its own keeps its own evidence, that the Prophet ﷺ described it as the best remembrance (Jami` at-Tirmidhi 3383). The counter now cites the right hadith for each.

Fixed

• No more square corners peeking out

  The prayer panel’s shadow was drawn for a square window while the panel itself is rounded, so a little square edge poked out at each of the four corners. The shadow now hugs the curve.

Improved

• Tooltips appear in half a second

  Hover any of the panel’s footer tools, the calculation method line, or the location, and the explanation arrives while you are still wondering.

• Diagnostics opens with your version

  The first row now reads the app’s version, build and edition — and the Contact Support email carries the same line, so you never have to look it up for us.

Improved

• Translations polished in eleven languages

  The strings added in 2.0.0 and 2.1.0 went through a native-fluency review — clearer fasting counts, better face names, truer register — in Spanish, French, Portuguese, Russian, Turkish, Indonesian, Malay, Bosnian, Persian, Hausa, and Chinese.

New

• The Sky widget

  The panel's header, in widget form: while the sun is up you get the sky as it is right now over your city, the sun on its arc, and the next prayer marked in gold with the time and countdown beside it. After dark it becomes the Lantern — navy, the lattice, and a ring that fills as the night runs towards Fajr, with the next prayer at its centre. Small and medium, and it keeps to your chosen face-switch times from Settings › Appearance.

Improved

• Every widget wears Iqamah's colours

  The Lantern's navy behind all of them, gold where they used to reach for a system blue — the same palette as the panel, from the same source, so they cannot drift apart again.

• Version numbers now follow semantic versioning

  (semver.org): the middle number means something new to discover, the last means fixes only.

Fixed

• Isha marked after midnight now counts for the right day

  Isha's time runs until Fajr, but a mark made at half past midnight was recorded under the new day — lighting the wrong column in the habit tracker, and making a mark placed before midnight look unmarked again after it. A mark now belongs to the day the prayer's time began, wherever it is made: the panel, the reminder card, or a Shortcut.

New

• The panel

  Click the menu bar item and a panel opens in place of the old menu: the sky as it is right now over your city, drawn from your own prayer times — first light at Fajr, gold at sunrise, orange at Maghrib, navy after Isha — with the sun on its arc and the next prayer marked in gold; the next prayer and the time until it; and every prayer of the day with a Mark prayed button on the one whose time it is. After Isha the panel wears its night face, the Lantern: navy, a lattice, and a ring that fills as the night runs towards Fajr. Choose either face for always, or let it follow the day, in Settings › Appearance. Right-click a prayer to mark it, unmark it, or excuse today. On macOS Tahoe the panel is Liquid Glass, like the system's own menus. The classic menu — Tools, Alert Mode, Settings, Help, Quit — is a right-click away.

• One Iqamah window

  Today, the Hijri calendar, the prayer times table, Habits and Fasting are sections of one window with a sidebar, instead of five windows that each opened with a big title. Habits gains a tile for excused days and today's prayers as chips; Fasting shows what each day is — Mondays and Thursdays, the white days in gold, Ramadan — with your Ramadan count beside it; the calendar opens an event's evidence in a popover from its day.

• Settings, the Mac way

  A toolbar of tabs over grouped forms. A new Appearance tab holds the menu bar item, with a live preview, and the panel: its face, when the faces change, how vivid the sky is, the Friday and white-days cards, the calculation method line, and the tools in the panel's footer.

• A welcome worth arriving at

  First run opens under the same living sky the panel draws, and the app’s one first-run question — where your prayer times should come from — is the screen’s one focus.

• Excused days

  Mark a day as excused and Iqamah stops counting its prayers against you. The day leaves your percentage entirely rather than reading as five prayers you missed, and your streak carries straight across it. Right-click any day along the top of the consistency grid. Excused days stay on this Mac unless you switch on including them in sync, and the reason you record never leaves it at all, whatever that switch says.

• A fasting record, for the whole year

  Ramadan, the white days, Mondays and Thursdays, Ashura and Arafah each know what they are, and both Eids and the days of Tashreeq refuse the mark, because fasting is not permitted then.

• A count of what you still owe

  Days excused or missed during Ramadan become days to make up, and marking a fast as a make-up takes one off the count. Iqamah tells you how many are left and how long until the next Ramadan. A fast you keep for its own sake, on a Monday say, is not treated as a make-up unless you say it is.

Improved

• The menu bar title warms before it alarms

  Amber from the warning threshold, red in its last third — one setting, two steps.

• The Tasbeeh counter is a small panel

  that stays beside your work; press Space to count. The prayer-break overlay shows the sky at that prayer's moment and can now record the prayer, or remind you in ten minutes.

• The habit tracker is now free

  It used to need Pro. It is where excused days are marked, and a purchase prompt is the wrong thing to meet somebody with at that moment. The Hijri calendar, prayer times table, tasbeeh counter, and day planner still need Pro, and the menu they share is now called Tools rather than Pro Tools, because it is no longer all one thing.

• The white days can be recorded, not just announced

  Iqamah has reminded you about them since 1.9.0 without giving you anywhere to say you had fasted them.

New

• The changelog is now in the Help menu

  Help → Changelog opens the full history of what has changed in each release, in your browser. This dialog only ever shows you one release at a time, so if you skipped a few, the rest of them are there.

Fixed

• Your completion percentage was too low, and had been since the habit tracker shipped

  Iqamah counted Duha and Tahajjud as though they were owed, alongside the five obligatory prayers, so the figure was always out of seven a day rather than five. Praying all five, every day, for a month showed as 71% — and there was no way to reach 100% without also praying both voluntary prayers every single day.

• Voluntary prayers now add to your record instead of being counted against it

  Duha and Tahajjud are shown as their own figure beside the percentage. Nothing you have marked has been lost or changed — only the arithmetic that reads it. If your percentage jumps after this update, that is the correction, not a reset.

New

• Ayyam al-Beed, marked on the Hijri calendar

  The three white days of each Hijri month are now shown wherever Iqamah shows dates, with two optional reminders: a notice after Maghrib when they begin, and one before Fajr on each of the three mornings, in time for suhur. Both are off until you turn them on in Preferences → Occasions. Dhul-Hijjah's white days stop at the 12th — the 13th falls within the days of Tashreeq, when fasting is not permitted, so Iqamah doesn't offer it.

• Calendar-aware prayer times Pricing

  Iqamah can now read the calendars you choose and suggest a time for each prayer that avoids what's already on your day. macOS has no way to say "just tell me when I'm busy" — reading busy times means full access to your calendars, so that's what Iqamah asks for. It only ever reads when an event starts and ends, never its title, guests, or notes.

• Settings sync Pricing

  Iqamah can now keep your preferences — and your prayer-habit and dhikr history — the same across your Macs, through a file it writes into a folder you choose in iCloud Drive — a folder you can see, back up, or delete. A day marked on either Mac stays marked. Your location never leaves the Mac it's set on.

Improved

• The closing-window reminder starts off

  "Tell me when a prayer window is closing," in Preferences → Notifications, had never once reached anyone either — the same permission problem meant it was never delivered. Now that notifications work, turning it on for everyone on this update would mean up to five extra notifications a day arriving unasked for, so it ships off instead. If you'd like it, switch it on in Preferences → Notifications.

• Preferences reorganised

  The Notifications pane had grown crowded, so date-based reminders — Islamic dates and Ayyam al-Beed — moved to a new Occasions pane, and what stayed behind is grouped by what it's for.

Fixed

• Notifications now actually arrive

  Iqamah had never once asked macOS for permission to show notifications, so every prayer alert, Friday reminder, and significant-day notice it scheduled was silently dropped by the system before you saw it. If you turned reminders on and never once saw one, this was why. Iqamah now asks for permission, and what it schedules is delivered.

• Friday Focus opens

  Even with the reminder delivered, nothing in Iqamah ever opened the Friday Focus window for you — tapping the notification did nothing, and the only way in was the small card in the menu. If you told us the Friday reminder never showed you anything, this was very likely why. Friday Focus now opens itself once each Friday, and tapping the notification opens it too.

Fixed

• The Pro Tools menu no longer says “Pro” twice

  Without a licence it read “Pro Tools (Pro)”. The name already said it.

New

• The times say where they came from

  Underneath the prayer times you will now see the calculation method and the school being used. Two people whose Asr differs by half an hour can now see why in one glance.

• A Diagnostics panel

  Under Help → Diagnostics. One page saying whether notifications are allowed, which location the times are for, what the next alert is and when, and — in the direct edition — the state of your license. Anything that needs fixing has a button that opens the right place to fix it.

• Your prayer and dhikr records move with it

  The export now carries them too, so setting up a new Mac no longer starts your history over. Importing only ever adds: a day marked on either Mac stays marked, and nothing you have recorded can be overwritten by a file.

Improved

• Contact Support sends the same page with it

  The support mail now arrives with that report already written into it, so the first reply can be an answer rather than a list of questions.

• You can type your city before Iqamah asks for your location

  The welcome screen now offers both, city first. Using your current location is still there and still recommended; it simply no longer arrives as a system prompt before you have been told what it is for.

• A tidier menu

  The Hijri calendar, prayer times table, habit tracker and tasbeeh counter now sit together under Pro Tools, instead of taking four lines of their own.

Fixed

• VoiceOver reads the whole menu, not only the times

  The Hijri date, what is coming next, the calculation method and school, and the location are now all spoken. Until now they were drawn in a way VoiceOver could not reach, so the one line this release is named for was the one line it could not read.

• Sixteen names stopped appearing in English

  The thirteen calculation methods, both Asr settings, and Check for Updates now read in your own language. They had been English in all eighteen — including English, which is how they went unnoticed.

• Export Settings works, and now exports everything

  It had never been able to write the file it asked you to name. It also only ever saved settings you had explicitly changed, so importing left the rest as they were on the receiving Mac. An export now describes every setting, and importing one makes that Mac match the one it came from.

New

• A gentle reminder when a window is closing

  If you have not prayed yet, Iqamah says so while there is still time — and stays quiet once the window has closed, or once you have marked the prayer. On by default; turn it off in Preferences → Notifications.

• Optionally, when the preferred time is ending

  Off by default. The preferred time is configurable per prayer, because awwal al-waqt depends on your school and your circumstances.

• Shortcuts and Siri

  Ask which prayer window you are in, or mark the current prayer as prayed, without opening the app.

Improved

• Marking a prayer as prayed is now free

  It used to require Pro. Streaks and the habit stats window still do.

Fixed

• VoiceOver can read and mark prayers

  With VoiceOver running, the menu bar lists each prayer and its time as an item you can check off. Previously it announced nothing at all.

• Friday Focus reads correctly again

  The glowing border around the hadith was dragging the text with it, leaving words stacked on top of one another.

• Notifications are translated

  Prayer alerts read their text in your language now; previously the sentence around the prayer name was always English.

• One Iqamah in the menu bar

  Opening Iqamah while a second copy was around — an installed one alongside a disk image still mounted, say — could leave two icons in the menu bar. A launch now stands down for the copy already running.

Fixed

• Right-to-left layout now follows your Mac

  If your Mac is set to Arabic, Persian, or Urdu, Iqamah showed the right words in a left-to-right layout unless you also picked that language inside Iqamah's own settings. Windows now mirror correctly either way.

• Widgets follow the language you chose in Iqamah

  They read your Mac's language instead, so choosing Arabic in Iqamah on an English Mac produced a widget with Arabic prayer names beside English headings, laid out in the wrong direction.

• The locked widget message is translated

  "Open Iqamah to unlock widgets." appeared in English in every language.

• Upcoming Islamic dates read correctly

  The countdown said "183 days to Ramadan begins" where it should say "183 days to Ramadan."

• Javanese and Punjabi

  were missing the event names used in that countdown.
