What is Shakirr?
Shakirr is a gratitude journal rooted in shukr, gratitude to Allah. It helps you write private reflections, notice blessings, browse duas and learn about gratitude. It is open to people of every faith and background.
How much does Shakirr cost?
The web app is free to use. The iOS and Android apps are planned to be free during public beta. If that ever changes, the price will be shown clearly before it applies.
Do I need an account?
No. You do not need to sign up, provide an email address or log in.
Is my journal private and safe?
Your profile, settings and reflections are stored on the device or browser where you create them. Shakirr does not keep a cloud copy of your journal. Protect your unlocked device and keep any export somewhere you trust. No software can promise complete protection on a compromised or shared device.
Does Shakirr use cookies, advertising or analytics?
The app and website code do not use advertising trackers, analytics or remote crash reporting in version 1. The web app uses browser storage to save your journal and work offline. Website infrastructure may process ordinary request data such as your IP address, browser type, requested file and time.
Does Shakirr work offline?
Yes. Core features work offline after the app or PWA has been installed or loaded successfully. The first web load and external source links need an internet connection.
How do I back up or move my data?
Open Settings, then Your data. You can export reflection notes or a full local backup, then restore that file on another installation. Export files are readable and are not encrypted, so keep them somewhere you trust.
How do I delete my data?
You can delete individual reflections. Reset profile and reflections removes your profile and journal from that installation. Reading settings and reminder preferences remain, and scheduled native reminders must be cleared separately. Clearing app or browser data, or uninstalling the app, may also remove local data.
How do reminders work?
The iOS and Android apps can schedule morning, Alhamdulillah and gratitude benefit reminders locally after you grant permission. They are not push notifications and do not include your reflection text. The web app does not schedule recurring browser notifications.
What is the 313 collection?
It contains 313 blessing prompts in each of seven categories. The order is shuffled for each visit. Select any blessing to read a reflection, why it matters and a small practice.
Has the Islamic and wellbeing content been reviewed?
Shakirr includes source tags for Islamic content and research references where provided. Formal scholarly, scientific and health claim review is still pending. Use Shakirr as a personal reflection aid, not as religious, medical or mental health advice.
