Meeqat

Minimal, elegant prayer times app built with Nuxt 4 and Tauri 2. Runs as a desktop app (macOS/Windows/Linux) with a live tray indicator and offline-friendly caching.

Features

• City & country selection: Choose from curated lists; supports multiple calculation methods.
• Live times: Current time, Gregorian and Hijri dates.
• Next prayer countdown: Highlights the upcoming prayer and shows a live countdown.
• Tray integration (desktop): System tray title and menu update with date and countdown.
• Athan alert: Lightweight tone pattern at prayer time; dismissible.
• Offline-friendly: Caches fetched days and persists preferences (Tauri Store with web fallback).
• Optional extra timezone: Display an alternate timezone alongside local times.

Tech stack

• Nuxt 4 + Vue 3 and @nuxt/ui for the interface
• Tauri 2 for desktop packaging and tray integration
• Bun for package management and scripts

Quick start

Prerequisites:

• Bun installed (curl -fsSL https://bun.sh/install | bash)

• For desktop builds: Tauri prerequisites (Rust toolchain, platform SDKs)

• For Android builds: JDK 17, Android SDK + NDK, Android Studio or CLI tools

Install dependencies:

bun install

Run in the browser (no desktop features):

bun run dev

Run as a desktop app with Tauri (tray, persistence, etc.):

bun run tauri:dev

Build static site output:

bun run generate

Build desktop binaries:

bun run tauri:build
# or a debug build
bun run tauri:build:debug

Android (APK)

Prerequisites:

• Java 17 (Temurin recommended)
• Android SDK + NDK installed (ensure sdkmanager and ndk available)
• Rust with Android targets (installed automatically on first init)

Initialize the Android project (generates files under src-tauri/gen/android):

bun run tauri:android:init

Run on a connected device/emulator (debug):

bun run tauri:android:dev

Build a release APK:

bun run tauri:android:build:release
# The APK will be generated under:
# src-tauri/gen/android/**/outputs/**/*.apk

Project structure

• app/ — Nuxt app (pages, components, composables, UI)
• src-tauri/ — Tauri project (config, Rust sources, icons)

Notable pieces:

• app/composables/usePrayerTimes.ts — fetching, caching, countdowns, and athan logic
• app/plugins/tray.client.ts — system tray setup and live updates

Configuration

No environment variables are required. Prayer times are fetched by city/country, calculation method, and timezone. The app persists your last selections locally.
