Prayer-time audio control
Browser music pauses for prayer. Then resumes.
Prayer Audio Controller mutes Chrome tab audio at every prayer time and restores it after — so staff don't have to remember, and music doesn't keep playing over the call to prayer.
Built for cafes · restaurants · barbers · gyms · clinics · retail — also great for personal use
Audio muted
Until 18:48
Music shouldn't keep playing through the adhan.
Staff shouldn't have to remember, every day, five times.
Prayer Audio Controller handles it — quietly, locally, automatically.
Set the city once. Forget about it.
No daily input from staff. The extension calculates, mutes, and restores on its own.
Pick your city, kept up to date.
Allow location and the city is set automatically; if you decline, search by name. Each time you open Chrome, the location refreshes — so a laptop that travels still gets the right prayer times. Calculated on-device with adhan.js. Coordinates stay in the browser.
Tabs go quiet, automatically.
Every audible Chrome tab mutes at the calculated time. A toolbar dot and a system notification confirm it.
Audio comes back, exactly as it was.
Tabs that were playing resume. Tabs already muted stay muted. Nothing is permanently changed.
Five quiet windows. The rest of the day plays.
Example: a typical Tuesday in Istanbul. Mute durations and start offsets are configurable per venue.
If it plays in Chrome, Prayer Audio Controller mutes it.
Most cafes and shops already play music through a browser tab. If yours does, it works out of the box.

Privacy
Private by design. Clear by default.
Calculated on-device with the open-source adhan.js library. No prayer-times API call, ever.
Used for local prayer-time calculation. A one-time reverse-geocode request may be used only to show a readable city name.
Email sign-in is used for trial, billing, and access checks. No ads, no behavior tracking, no analytics SDK.
Four permissions. Each one, plain English.
Chrome will ask for these on install. Here is exactly why each is needed and what it can't do.
Used to calculate accurate prayer times for your city. Coordinates are stored locally; a one-time reverse-geocode request may be used to show a readable city or district name.
Required to mute and unmute Chrome tabs. Reads which tabs are currently audible, sets them muted, and records original state to restore exactly.
Sends a system alert when audio mutes and restores, with a one-tap "Restore audio" button. Muting works fine with notifications turned off.
Saves your city, calculation method, and mute duration in Chrome's local storage. Nothing syncs to external servers.

Common questions.
Why does it need location access?
Prayer times depend on latitude and longitude. The extension uses your location to calculate times on-device, and refreshes it each time Chrome starts — so a laptop that travels still gets accurate times. Coordinates never leave the browser. If you decline, you can search and select your city manually instead.
What does it leave alone?
Everything outside Chrome tabs. The Spotify and Apple Music desktop apps keep playing. System audio, FaceTime, Zoom, calls, alarms, and macOS or Windows notifications are completely untouched. To mute a streaming service, open it in a Chrome tab instead of the desktop app.
What if my local mosque calls a few minutes earlier or later?
Pick the calculation method matching your country's authority (Diyanet, Muslim World League, ISNA, Egyptian, Karachi, etc.) and shift the mute start ±10 minutes to align with your local mosque's actual call.
Can I disable specific prayer times?
Yes. Each of the five daily prayers can be toggled individually. Disabled prayers still appear in the schedule — audio just won't be muted for them.
Does the computer need to be on with Chrome open?
Yes. Prayer Audio Controller runs as a Chrome extension — Chrome needs to be running at prayer times. For most cafes and shops that keep a computer on during business hours, this works as expected.
Is there a mobile or desktop app?
Not yet — dedicated desktop and mobile apps are in development. Today, Prayer Audio Controller is a Chrome extension. When the apps ship, your account will cover them at no extra cost.
How do I uninstall?
Open chrome://extensions, find Prayer Audio Controller, click Remove. All locally stored settings are deleted with it.
What does the 7-day free trial cover?
Full access to every feature — no card required to start. After 7 days, pick a plan to keep going. Settings and your city are preserved if you decide to subscribe later.
