Muslim period tracker · iPhone
Know where you are in your cycle, and where you stand in your deen.
Nisaa tracks your period like any good cycle app. Then it does what none of them do. It tells you whether you are in hayd or tahara, when prayer lifts and resumes, when ghusl is due, and how many Ramadan fasts you still owe, following the madhab you follow.
Hayd حيض
Prayer lifted · Day 3
- 4 madhabs
- Hanafi, Shafi’i, Maliki and Hanbali rulings, not one flattened answer.
- 20 languages
- From Arabic and Urdu to Hausa, Bahasa and Kiswahili, with full RTL.
- No ad-tech
- Your cycle is never sold, brokered or handed to advertisers.
- Free to start
- Cycle tracking, phases and the fasting log cost nothing.
Why Nisaa exists
Every other period app stops at the calendar.
You mark the day the bleeding started. The app draws a red dot and predicts the next one. Useful, but it leaves the questions that actually shape your day unanswered.
Is this spotting the end of my period, or the start of tahara? Do I make up the Dhuhr I missed if my period ended before Asr? Is brown discharge on day seven still hayd? How many days of Ramadan do I owe from two years ago?
Most women resolve these by texting a friend, searching a forum at midnight, or guessing. Nisaa was built so the answer sits next to the day you logged it, grounded in classical fiqh, and specific to the madhab you follow.
What’s inside
One app for the cycle, the prayer, and the fast.
Your whole cycle, on one dial
Menstrual, follicular, ovulation, luteal. The dial shows the shape of the month at a glance and where today sits inside it. Predictions sharpen as Nisaa learns your own pattern rather than assuming a textbook 28 days.
- Period and ovulation predictions from your logged history
- Estrogen, progesterone and LH plotted across the month
- Energy and fertility notes for the day you’re on
- Home screen widget with your current status
Day
3
of 28
Hayd or tahara, stated plainly
Nisaa reads what you logged and names your state: حيض hayd or طهارة tahara. From that one fact everything else follows. Whether prayer is lifted, whether fasting counts, whether ghusl is owed. Nisaa spells each one out instead of leaving you to work it back from a calendar.
- Prayer and fasting status for today, in one line
- Guidance for spotting, sufrah and kudrah
- Istihadah handled separately from hayd, as the fiqh requires
- Nifas tracked with its own rulings after birth
Hayd حيض
Day 3
Salah is lifted no qada owed
Fasting pauses 3 days to make up
Ghusl expected in ~2 days
Following the Hanafi position you selected in settings.
Ramadan, and everything you owe after it
The days you miss for hayd are not forgiven, they are deferred, and they are extremely easy to lose track of. Nisaa counts them the moment they happen and keeps counting until the last one is paid back, even across years.
- Missed days logged automatically from your cycle
- Make-up (qada) fasts ticked off through the year
- Mustahab days highlighted: Arafah, Ashura, the white days, the six of Shawwal
- A countdown to Ramadan, and a warning before the next one arrives
Ask, in your own words
Nisaa’s assistant answers cycle-and-worship questions with your madhab, your phase and your logged history already in view, so “can I fast tomorrow?” gets a real answer rather than a general article. Responses are drawn from the classical positions rather than invented.
It is a study aid, not a mufti. For a binding ruling on your particular situation, ask a qualified scholar. Nisaa says so too, in the app.
My period stopped this morning, before Asr. Do I pray Dhuhr as well?
If purity is established while there is still time for Asr, the majority hold that Dhuhr is prayed with it, since the two share a combined time for an excuse…
Sourced from classical fiqh references
Fiqh, not a flattened average
Pick your madhab. The whole app follows it.
The schools genuinely differ on how long hayd can last, what counts as its end, and how nifas is measured. Blending them produces answers no scholar actually holds, so Nisaa asks once, then stays consistent.
Shafi’i
شافعي
A minimum of one day and night, commonly six or seven, up to a maximum of fifteen.
Maliki
مالكي
No fixed minimum, with the maximum assessed against habit and the pattern you have.
Hanbali
حنبلي
A minimum of a day and night and a maximum of fifteen, close to the Shafi’i frame.
Summaries above are simplified for orientation only. In the app each ruling is presented with its reasoning and its evidence, and you are always pointed back to a qualified scholar for anything genuinely unclear in your own case.
Privacy
The most sensitive data you own.
Cycle data has been subpoenaed, sold and leaked at other apps. Nisaa is built the other way round: your log exists to serve you, and there is no second business model sitting behind it.
- No selling or brokering of health data, ever
- No advertising network gets your cycle
- Delete your account and the data goes with it
- Apple Health import is opt-in and read only

Early, and already useful.
Nisaa is a young app with a small number of reviews. Here they are, unedited.
I’ve tried so many period apps but Nisaa is the first one that actually considers Muslim women. The tahara tracking is a game changer.
I used to just guess how many prayers I have to make up. Nisaa helped me keep count and remind me, it shows me where I am in my cycle.
I wish Nisaa existed years ago. I love that it’s made for Muslim women specifically. It tells you when to pray and fast based on your cycle.
Questions
Before you download.
Is Nisaa available on Android?
Not yet. Nisaa is on iPhone and iPad running iOS 16 or later. An Android version is in development. Mail hello@getnisaa.com and we will tell you when it lands.
Which madhabs does Nisaa support?
Hanafi, Shafi’i, Maliki and Hanbali. You choose during setup and can change it later in settings. Every ruling in the app follows the school you picked rather than mixing them.
Where do the rulings come from?
From classical fiqh sources and the hadith they rest on, presented with their reasoning so you can see how an answer was reached. Nisaa is a study aid, not a substitute for a qualified scholar, and it says so wherever a case is genuinely contested.
Do I need to pay to use it?
No. Cycle tracking, phase and hayd status, and the Ramadan fasting log are free. Nisaa Pro is an optional subscription that adds the AI assistant, ghusl and prayer reminders and advanced predictions. Current pricing is shown on the App Store listing and inside the app before you subscribe.
Can Nisaa import from Flo, Clue or Apple Health?
Yes. During setup you can bring across history from Apple Health and from several other cycle apps, so your predictions do not start from zero. Apple Health access is opt-in and read only.
Is my cycle data sold or shared?
No. Nisaa does not sell or broker health data and does not hand your cycle to advertising networks. Deleting your account deletes the data. The full detail is in the privacy policy.
What languages does Nisaa speak?
Twenty, including Arabic, Urdu, Farsi, Turkish, Bahasa Indonesia, Bahasa Melayu, Bengali, Hausa, Kiswahili, Somali, Pashto, Sindhi, Kurdish, Kazakh, Uzbek, Javanese, French and Russian, with full right-to-left layout where it belongs.
