HudhurBring your heart back to Allah
An hourly dhikr reminder
that lives in your Mac’s menu bar.
Free · macOS
Hudhur.
[noun]
from the Arabic ḥuḍūr — “presence”; the heart fully present with God.
- The popover
- This is what opens when you click the icon in your menu bar. The hourly reminder itself is quieter still — the three lines, and nothing to click.
- The hour
- It tells you when it will next return, then says nothing until then.
- The rhythm
- One, two, or three hours. Chosen once, here.
Once an hour,
a small return.
HUDHUR sits in your menu bar and says nothing. Once an hour it says one thing — three short lines, quietly, wherever you are.
Allah is with you.
Allah can hear you.
Allah is watching you.
You do not have to open anything. You do not have to do anything. Read them, or don’t, and the day goes on.
It asks nothing of you.
Remembrance is not a task to clear. So HUDHUR has nothing to maintain, nothing to lose, and no reason at all to want you back.
It is free. It always will be. There is nothing to buy, and nothing being sold.
- 01
No streaks
Nothing to keep alive. Nothing to break. Miss a day and the app will never mention it.
- 02
No counters
No badge, no unread dot, no tally of your devotion sitting in the corner of your eye.
- 03
No pull
Dismiss it and it is gone until the next hour. It will not try to win you back.
The closest a servant comes to his Lord is in sujud.
HUDHUR will not put you here. No app can. It only taps you on the shoulder while you work, and leaves the rest — the turning, the standing, the bowing — entirely to you.
But the dhikr scents the hours it passes through. A heart that turned to Him at ten, and again at noon, does not arrive at Maghrib a stranger — when you stand to pray, you are not beginning. You are continuing.
HUDHUR is nearly ready.
It is a small app, built slowly, and it is free. It is not public yet. Leave your email and I will write to you once — on the day it is ready to download. Nothing else, ever.
