Faith and fitness. Finally together.

Four pillars, one tap each, and a garden that remembers the week. Training, nutrition, prayer and sleep, in one daily check-in that takes about ten seconds.

* A personalised training and eating plan, free, by email.

Four pillars

One tap each.

You answer four small questions about the day you just had, and a garden grows as the week fills in.

  • Training

    You moved today, however that looked.

  • Nutrition

    You ate the way you meant to.

  • Prayer

    You kept your prayers. Or choose Recharge, for a pause you choose each day.

  • Sleep

    You slept enough, for the night before.

  • 4

    pillars, one tap each

  • 10s

    is about what a day's check-in takes

  • 28

    trees in a full week

How a day works

About ten seconds, once a day.

  1. Answer four small questions about the day you just had.

  2. One tap for each pillar you kept, in about ten seconds.

  3. Every pillar you kept grows a tree.

  4. A full week is twenty-eight of them, and you can swipe back through the weeks you have grown.

DinFit on an iPhone, showing My Garden part way through a week: twenty of twenty-eight tended, with training, nutrition, prayer and sleep each kept on five of seven days.

What the research says

Habits take their own time.

In one study, 96 volunteers each chose an eating, drinking or activity behaviour to carry out every day for 12 weeks. Among those whose progress could be modelled, the time it took for the behaviour to become close to as automatic as it would get ranged from 18 to 254 days. Skipping one day along the way changed nothing the researchers could measure.

One study, of simple daily behaviours. It looked at a single missed day rather than a missed week, and it did not study DinFit.

In DinFit nothing wilts, and there is no streak to break. A day you missed is a day you missed.

Made for Muslims

You already know you can do this.

For thirty days a year you eat with intention, pray on time, and train around both. Nothing about you changes on the first of Shawwal. The structure does, and this is that structure.

Prayer times, if you want them. Choose your town and the five arrive in their time.

  • Fajr
  • Dhuhr
  • Asr
  • Maghrib
  • Isha

Or Recharge: the same fourth lane, the same tree, for a pause you choose each day.

What arrives

  • Fajr · 05:12Everything else will still be here. Your London time, worked out on this phone.
  • Dhuhr · 12:58Everything else will still be here. Your New York time, worked out on this phone.
  • Asr · 15:41Everything else will still be here. Your Toronto time, worked out on this phone.
  • Maghrib · 18:42Everything else will still be here. Your Sydney time, worked out on this phone.
  • Isha · 20:11Everything else will still be here. Your Birmingham time, worked out on this phone.

An example. Your times are worked out on your phone, for the town you choose.

  • 34,129

    towns to choose from, every place GeoNames lists with 15,000 people or more

  • 12

    calculation methods, from Muslim World League to Diyanet

  • 2

    ways to take Asr: the standard one, or the Hanafi one

What it does

What DinFit does, and what it does not.

  • The daily check-in.

    Four pillars, one tap each, in about ten seconds.

  • A living garden.

    Every kept pillar grows a tree, and a full week is twenty-eight of them.

  • Your week, kept.

    Swipe back through the weeks you have already grown, and share one if you want to.

  • Prayer times, if you want them.

    Choose your town and the five arrive in their time. If you would rather not put your prayers inside an app, choose Recharge instead: the same fourth lane, the same tree, for a pause you choose each day.

  • Reminders that fit the day.

    Worked out on your phone, so they arrive with no signal, and never more than two a day.

  • It works offline.

    Every check-in is written on the phone first and syncs when it can.

What it does not do.

It does not count your calories for you, score you, or tell you what went wrong. There are no streak punishments and nothing wilts. A day you missed is a day you missed.

Questions

Before you start.

What does DinFit cost?

DinFit is free to try for 7 days. After the trial, a subscription opens the daily check-in, yearly or monthly, and your own price shows on the App Store. Everything you have already grown stays readable, shareable and exportable, whether or not a subscription is running.

Do I have to put my prayers in an app?

No. Prayer times are there if you want them. If you would rather not, choose Recharge instead: the same fourth lane, the same tree, for a pause you choose each day.

Can I use it without a gym?

Yes. Training is one tap for the day you moved, however that looked. There is no exercise logging.

What happens to my data?

Your body stats and faith settings are never counted in analytics. You can export everything the app holds as a file, and you can delete your account from inside the app. The privacy policy has the detail.

Does it work offline?

Every check-in is written on the phone first and syncs when it can.

A week passes either way.

At the end of it, the garden shows what you actually did.

Free for 7 days, then a yearly or monthly subscription.
