Bringing the macOS "Announce the Time" experience to Windows with a spiritual twist.
Waqtak keeps you aware of time and connected to your Dhikr throughout your productive day.
Inspired by the iconic macOS "Announce the time" feature, Waqtak is a premium Windows desktop app built with Flutter. It combines a high-quality talking clock with periodic Islamic reminders (Adhkar) wrapped in a beautiful, modern UI.
- High-Quality Announcements: Triggers precisely at :00 and :30 (or custom intervals).
- 3 Language/Dialect Options:
- 🇪🇬 Egyptian Arabic (عربي مصري) - "الساعة التلاتة ونص بعد الضهر"
- 🇸🇦 Formal Arabic (عربي فصحى) - "الساعة الثالثة والنصف مساءً"
- 🇬🇧 English - "It's half past 3 PM"
- Natural Phrasing: No robotic AM/PM; uses proper Arabic periods (صباحاً، مساءً، الصبح، العصر).
- 70+ Authentic Phrases: Carefully selected Adhkar with full Tashkeel (تشكيل) for proper pronunciation.
- Ultra-Low Resource Usage: Zero CPU impact between reminders.
- Customizable Experience: Adjust chime volume and announcement frequency.
- Modern Windows UI: A stunning Navy & Gold theme designed with Material 3 and Fluent principles.
- System Tray Integration: Runs silently in the background; access everything from the bottom-right corner.
- Windows Startup: Automatically launches with your PC so you never miss a reminder.
