Namaz Times
A minimal, installable prayer times app. It counts down to the next azan and jamat, tells you when to leave for the mosque, works offline, and remembers everything you set.

Features
- Live countdown to the next azan, switching to "leave by" once a prayer window is active.
- Jamat and leave-by times. Set the gap between azan and jamat for each prayer and your travel time to the mosque, and the app tells you exactly when to leave.
- Location. Search any city, or use your device's location (with reverse geocoding).
- 11 calculation methods: Umm al-Qura, ISNA, MWL, Karachi, Egyptian, Gulf, Kuwait, Qatar, Singapore, Turkey (Diyanet) and Moonsighting Committee.
- Alerts. A synthesized tone (no audio files) plus an optional browser notification when azan time hits.
- Installable and offline. Add it to your home screen or install it as a desktop app. A service worker caches the app and the last prayer times, so it keeps working with no connection.
- Dark and light themes. Every preference (location, method, offsets, travel time, theme, notifications) is saved in
localStorage.
How it's built
Everything is one dependency-free index.html: plain HTML, CSS and JS, with no build step and no framework.
- Prayer times come from the Al Adhan API.
- City search uses the Open-Meteo geocoding API. "Use my location" uses the browser Geolocation API plus BigDataCloud reverse geocoding.
manifest.json and a hand-written service worker (sw.js) make it installable and offline-capable: cache-first for static files, network-first with a cache fallback for pages.gen-icons.js generates the app icons from scratch. It writes valid PNG files byte by byte (chunk framing, a hand-rolled CRC32, zlib deflate for the pixels) with no image library. Run node gen-icons.js to regenerate them.
Run it locally
Serve the folder over HTTP (service workers need a real origin, not file://):
npx serve .
Then open the URL it prints.
