Changelog
New in Safa, release by release.
2.0.0Latest Space for your deen
A Mac testing release with a quieter homepage, local Muslim tools and Safa-signed updates. Broader native acceptance is still in progress.
Highlights
- Quiet jade is the new default wallpaper throughout Safa. Choose your own image from New Tab settings; compact frosted cards keep it in view.
- Open Muslim space from the sidebar for Today, Quran, Journey and Saved. Read the complete Arabic/English Quran offline, bookmark passages and resume your place.
- Set prayer times from your current location with permission, choose your calculation settings and enable optional prayer, reading and Name of the Day reminders.
- Use image Off / Blur / Hide controls and local screenshot tools with crop, annotations, solid redaction, text-region selection and sharing.
- Safa’s signed update channel is restored. Safa 1.0.5 needs this one manual install; later compatible updates can arrive inside the browser.

Fixes and privacy
- Responsive onboarding keeps search-engine choices clear of the footer. Homepage actions and options use the existing material styles.
- Wallpaper failures no longer receive immutable caching. Profile deletion explicitly scrubs reading, prayer, counter and image preferences.
- Religious settings and reading progress stay on your normal profile. Private browsing cannot load that saved state.
Release status
- Apple Silicon Macs on macOS 14 or later. Windows and iOS acceptance is deferred; no Linux release is offered.
- Hosted account, email, billing and paid AI services are inactive pending owner configuration and live acceptance. BYOK and local-model options remain available.
- Journey is a Quran-linked reference index, not a reviewed full curriculum. Authored lessons await qualified editorial review.
- App-closed reminders, travel and wake, accessibility, multi-display capture, full install/relaunch updating and matched performance benchmarks still need completion. No universal speed claim is made.
1.0.5 Safa private testing baseline
The Safa fork is in private qualification. Download availability reflects the verified artifact manifest.
Changes
- Safa branding across the browser, backend, and website, while retaining the existing browser and Work architecture.
- Three optional offline homepage cards: next prayer, a complete daily ayah, and a profile-local dhikr counter.
- Automatic browser release updates are paused for this private release. Blocker-list and extension updates remain available.
- Hosted account and AI services require explicit Safa configuration. This site does not offer public paid plans.
