A little room for you two.

Noor Notes is a private iPhone app for two people. You share one small room: notes wait on the table, how you’re feeling shows in the window, and a cat sleeps on the rug until something arrives.

Free on iPhone

Everything in the room does something.

This is the first screen you see when you open Noor Notes. Tap around.

The Home room in Noor Notes: a tiled Ottoman room with an arched window, a hanging lantern, a plant, a Qur’an on a stand, a prayer rug, and a cat by a table with a new letter on it

The dial over the window points to the Qibla. Tap it for the full compass.
The window shows how your person is doing, as weather. More on that below.
The lantern switches the room to night. After sunset it does that on its own.
The dove opens a new note. When you send it, the dove flies off with it.
The plant grows buds, then flowers, the longer your streak gets.
New notes wait on the table. The cat usually gets there first.
The Qur’an opens the reader. On Fridays it opens to Surah Al-Kahf.
The prayer mat glows when it’s nearly time to pray. Tap it for today’s times.

Send a dua, not just a text.

Write a few words, draw something with your finger, or add a photo. You can also pick a dua from the library and send it in Arabic, English, transliteration, or all three.

They get one reply back: an emoji, a few words, or both. And if they tap Show on widget, your note stays on their Home Screen.

A note from Yusuf that reads: May Allah make today easy for you. Thinking of you. Below it are emoji replies and a Show on widget button — A note from Yusuf.

The Haal screen. You are feeling Loved and wrote: Missing you a little. Yusuf is feeling Light and wrote: Alhamdulillah, feeling good

How are you, really?

Haal (حال) is Arabic for the state you’re in. Pick one of fifteen, from Light and Hopeful to Tired, Heavy or In Dua, and add a line if you want to say more.

In their room it turns into the weather outside the window: clear when you’re Light, cloudy when you’re tired, rain on a heavy day, and rays of light when you’re in dua. There’s a Haal widget for the Lock Screen too.

The room’s arched window with a clear golden sky over Istanbul — Yusuf is feeling Light.

The same window with a grey sky and rain, and the cat sitting underneath it, looking up — Yusuf is feeling Heavy. The cat goes to sit by the window.

The Qur’an, dhikr and salah, in the same app.

No switching apps to read a surah, count your dhikr or check when Asr is.

Surah Ar-Rahman in Arabic with its English translation — **Qur’an** All 114 surahs in Arabic with an English translation. Save the ayahs you want to come back to.

The Dhikr and Dua library with categories for morning, evening and after salah — **Dhikr and dua** Morning and evening adhkar and dhikr after salah, with a counter for the ones you repeat.

Today’s prayer times with the next prayer highlighted — **Prayer times** Worked out on your phone. Choose the calculation your local masjid uses.

The 99 Names of Allah shown as tiles with their meanings — **The 99 Names** Every Name of Allah with its meaning, one page at a time.

There’s a Qibla compass too. It works offline, and your location stays on your phone.

Something to do together, even from two cities.

Games and Activities: seven mini games and ten question packs — **Games and questions** Seven quick games, like Islamic Quiz, Guess Their Answer and Who’s More Likely?, and ten packs of questions for longer talks. In many of them you answer privately, then reveal.

A shared bucket list with Umrah together, See the northern lights, Cook his mum’s biryani and Sunrise hike up the mountain — **A shared bucket list** Umrah, the northern lights, his mum’s biryani. Tick one off and it turns into a memory with a photo and a few words.

The room with gifts in it: a rose on the windowsill, a cake on the table and a balloon tied to the plant — **Small gifts** Send a rose and it shows up on their windowsill. Balloons get tied to the plant.

Seven rooms, day and night.

Start in Sakinah Sky, or move into a room inspired by the Rashidun, Umayyad, Abbasid, Andalusian, Ottoman or Mughal eras. Each has its own window, lantern, rug and plant.
