Your PC can observe the azaan too. سكون
Sakoon gently fades system audio before each azaan, keeps the computer quiet through the configured window, and restores the previous audio state afterwards—without accounts, ads, telemetry, or cloud dependency.

The mall moment
A small courtesy, made automatic.
In many GCC malls, music stops when the azaan begins. Sakoon brings that same moment of stillness to the Windows desktop.
“The building itself observes the moment. Sakoon lets your computer
do the same.”
You may be working with music playing, watching a video, or using an application when the azaan begins. Instead of reaching for the volume key five times a day, Sakoon handles the audio window with a respectful fade.
It does not play the azaan and it does not replace a prayer reminder. It simply manages your PC audio around the timing source you have selected.
The name means stillness. That is the entire idea: fade, pause, restore, and get out of the way.
Timing philosophy
Official authority first. Astronomy as a watchdog.
Prayer times vary by authority, region, method, and deliberate precaution offsets. Sakoon keeps those responsibilities separate.
02 · FALLBACK
Local solar calculation
When no official table is available, Sakoon can calculate locally. It is always labelled CALCULATED — UNOFFICIAL.
03 · VERIFICATION
Delta view
Official-versus-calculated differences help expose shifted columns, wrong dates, and corrupted imports before they affect audio scheduling.
Sakoon never presents an astronomical estimate as an official ruling.
The relevant awqaf publication and your local mosque always take
precedence.
Inside Sakoon
A quiet, night-observatory interface.
The 24-hour astrolabe dial plots the five prayers at their actual clock positions, while the surrounding views keep timing sources, verification, and audio settings visible.

Built for real Windows behaviour
The difficult part is not muting. It is restoring safely.
Sakoon treats audio management as a recovery problem, not a simple mute toggle.
01
Fade, never hard-cut
Audio ramps down over the configured duration.
02
Capture, never toggle
The previous mute and volume state is preserved.
03
Recovery first
Restore information is written before audio is changed.
04
No stale replay
A missed window is not intentionally replayed after wake.
05
The user always wins
Manual unmute or override causes Sakoon to stand down.
Local-first by design
Nothing needs to leave your machine.
Sakoon's core operation does not depend on a cloud account, advertising network, analytics service, or remote prayer-time API.

Questions
Clear answers, without pretending software is infallible.
Is Sakoon a religious authority?
No. Sakoon is a convenience utility. The relevant awqaf authority and local mosque always take precedence, and Sakoon should never be the only prayer reminder.
Does Sakoon fetch prayer times from the internet?
Its preferred source is an official monthly CSV or Excel table uploaded by the user. Its astronomical fallback runs locally and is clearly identified as unofficial.
Can it leave my PC permanently muted?
The application is designed to store recovery state before changing audio and to restore orphaned state after restart. Hardware and drivers can still fail, so reproducible restoration problems should be reported.
Does it need administrator access?
Normal use and the visible Windows Startup shortcut do not require administrator rights.
Is the source code public?
No. The GitHub repository is public for documentation, issue tracking, release notes, and official binary distribution. The Go source code is not published.
Important timing notice
Sakoon is not a religious authority and cannot certify a prayer time. Official awqaf publications and your local mosque override every imported, displayed, or calculated value. Software can fail; never rely on Sakoon as your only prayer reminder.
