Prayer times in the Omarchy bar: a to-scale day strip or a ruled timetable, Arabic and English, offline calculation and optional notifications.
S switches layouts, A switches to Arabic, and the gear opens a city
search that resolves a place to its coordinates and timezone.
Five bar label forms, from name and countdown to a miniature day strip to a single glyph:
- Horizon draws the day to scale, marks where you are, and compares the length of each prayer window. Compact is a ruled timetable with a night-marker grid.
- The bar chip pairs a miniature day strip with the next prayer countdown. Vertical bars use a rotated text label.
- English and Arabic names, dates and countdowns; Arabic uses a configurable Noto Naskh Arabic face.
- Prayer times are calculated offline for 24 methods. Choose the method and Shafi or Hanafi Asr from the panel, then tune individual times if needed.
- Optional prayer-time and advance notifications, deduplicated across monitors and shell reloads.
- Location and presentation are set from the panel. The city search lists
same-named cities with their region and zone —
Springfieldspans two — and applies nothing until you pick one. - Picking a city can suggest its regional calculation method. The suggestion is never applied without confirmation.
- Left click toggles the panel; middle click cycles the bar label;
right click (or
R) reloads timezone data;Esccloses;Tabswitches to the neighbouring panel.

Prayer-time calculation does not require network access.
omarchy plugin add https://github.com/salemsayed/omaprayers.git --enableThe widget goes to the right section of the bar; move it with

if you prefer another spot.
Location, calculation method, Asr school, six tuning values, layout, bar
label, clock format, language, sunrise and night markers, notifications and
the accent lead time are on the panel's settings section. Press M to open
the method picker directly.

The city search uses Open-Meteo geocoding; the optional Detect button reads the connection's apparent city from wttr.in and only fills the search box. Nothing is applied until you pick a result.
Prayer times are calculated offline from explicit latitude, longitude and an IANA timezone; the computer's timezone is not assumed. The astronomy algorithm is ported from adhan-js. The engine includes 24 methods, including Custom, with the built-in minute adjustments and fixed intervals listed in Validation.
Validation covers eight official timetable fixtures (462 rows, all within their published variance), a seeded adhan-js comparison (3,000 regular and 300 polar cases, exact to the second), and a recorded AlAdhan corpus of 60 snapshots across 40 cities: 1,723 days and 18,953 timing cells compared, every residual within one minute after the documented method differences, 122 polar days where AlAdhan returns invalid output skipped, and 36 Umm al-Qura Hijri dates matched exactly.
Calculated times are not mosque iqama schedules. Choose the method used by the nearest authority, select the local Asr school, compare with a trusted local calendar, then adjust Fajr, Sunrise, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib or Isha in the panel. Imsak, Sunset and Midnight tuning and the high-latitude, midnight, Shafaq, Hijri and Custom options remain available through configuration. Defaults: Cairo, method 5 (Egyptian General Authority of Survey), Shafi Asr, 24-hour, English, Horizon, notifications off.
