What is Guidance?

Guidance is a prayer times application for Mac OS X that plays the Adhan when it is time to pray salah. Designed to be simple and elegant, Guidance sits in the menu bar and shows a countdown until the next prayer. When it’s time for prayer, Guidance displays a Growl notification and plays the adhan. Guidance stays out of the way while providing you with current prayer time information.

You don’t have to be Muslim to love Guidance

“I am not a Muslim - I don’t think many MacLeans are - but I have always loved the sound of the call to prayers from the local mosque. Sadly, the nearest mosque is probably about 20 miles from where I am sitting and prayers don’t seem to travel that far, even if you really shout. This morning I found a solution, a Mac app called Guidance.”

“Här är ett tips om ett spännande program. Mig veterligen det enda MUSLIMSKA programmet, dessutom riktigt snyggt gjort och macigt så det stänker om det. http://guidanceapp.com/”

Shameless plug from my wife

“I’m very proud to say that my Ameir made a prayer times application for Apple computers. It’s called Guidance. It’s absolutely free to download! The link is below for you or any of your friends or family members who have Apple computers.”
