General
Is Hvsna free?
Yes — the free version has unlimited tasks, prayer-anchored scheduling, Hijri awareness, and full offline use.
Which platforms?
Android.
Do I need an account?
No. Hvsna has no accounts.
Is my data private?
Your tasks are stored only on your device. We don't sell or share your data.
Prayer Times
Why are my times a few minutes off from my masjid?
Different calculation methods, slightly different coordinates, or a masjid using local sighting. Set the calculation method your local authority uses.
My prayer times look completely wrong.
- Check your location in Settings → General → Location
- Check your device timezone
- Check the calculation method suits your region
Can I set custom prayer times?
Not directly — Hvsna calculates them from your location, method, and madhab. For masjid-specific times, add them as timed tasks.
Tasks & Reminders
Can I have tasks that aren't tied to a prayer?
Yes — give a task a clock time, or no time at all (it waits in your Inbox).
How do recurring tasks work?
Daily / weekly / monthly / yearly, with an optional interval and end condition, on the civil calendar. See Recurring Tasks.
Why am I not getting notifications?
Only tasks with a specific clock time get a reminder. Then check the system notification permission, Do Not Disturb, and (Android) battery optimization. See Notifications.
Data
I lost my phone — can I get my data back?
Only if you exported a backup (Settings → Backup & Restore → Export data). Otherwise the data was only on that phone.
Troubleshooting
The app won't open or is misbehaving
- Close and reopen it
- Update to the latest version
- As a last resort, Settings → Reset Device Data (erases local data)
- Contact support if it persists
Wrong city / wrong prayer times
Settings → General → Location → search for the correct place, or Use current location. Check your timezone matches.
