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.
