How to make an app for a mosque

A masjid committee keeps jamaat times up to date, runs the maktab with its students and small fees, collects monthly chanda from members, and organises iftar and cleaning duties in Ramzan. An app puts these in one place, so the treasurer, the imam and the maktab teacher work from the same records.

Who uses the app

The masjid committee, the imam and the maktab teacher. Since several people use it, connect the committee's own Supabase database, with sign-in so only the treasurer and committee see money records. Members can open timings, and give donations if the committee wants that.

The screens a mosque app needs

Timings: Jamaat times for the five namaz and Jumu'ah, which the committee changes each month
Maktab: Students by class, their parents' phone numbers, attendance and monthly fees
Members: Members with their monthly chanda, what is paid and what is due
Donations: Donations by purpose, such as zakat, sadaqah or building, kept separately, with PDF receipts
Ramzan duties: Iftar arrangements, cleaning and other duties by date, with volunteers assigned
Notices: Notices from the committee, such as Eid namaz time or a change in the Jumu'ah time

Features worth asking for

Donations kept by purpose, so zakat money is counted separately from building funds
Donation receipts as PDFs with the committee's name and purpose
A donate button through the committee's own Razorpay account, once it is connected
Maktab attendance and fee records, with a WhatsApp button to remind parents of fees due
A monthly chanda list that shows who has paid and who has not
A Ramzan duty roster by date, with volunteers ticked off as tasks are done

Where the data lives

Connect the committee's own Supabase database so every committee member sees the same records, with sign-in for money screens. Donations through the app go to the committee's own Razorpay account.

Make an app for the committee of Masjid-e-Noor, Kohefiza, Bhopal. Screens: timings, maktab, members, donations, Ramzan duties and notices. The committee updates jamaat times for the five namaz and Jumu'ah. Maktab: students by class, parent's phone, attendance and ₹200 monthly fee. Members pay monthly chanda; show paid and due. Donations by purpose (zakat, sadaqah, building) kept separately, with PDF receipts and a donate button through our own Razorpay account. Ramzan iftar and cleaning duties by date. Only committee members sign in for money screens. Green and white colours.

Tips for a mosque app

Agree in the committee who sees donations and member dues before setting up sign-in.
Keep zakat separate from other funds from the first entry; ask AppCub for the purposes your committee uses.
Start with the maktab and the chanda list, the records that are on paper today.
Ask for Hindi labels if committee members prefer them, and write names in records as people spell them.
Have the treasurer test receipts with a few entries before you give the app to members.

Good to know

The app doesn't calculate namaz times or play the azaan, and it sends no messages to members by itself. The committee enters the times, and reminders go out when someone taps the WhatsApp button.
AppCub builds Android apps. You can also share the app as a web link that opens on any phone; for the iPhone App Store, AppCub’s team can do it for you.

Questions

Can members give donations through the mosque app?

Yes, through the committee's own Razorpay account once Razorpay and Supabase are connected. The money goes to the committee, and a PDF receipt can be shared.

Can the app keep zakat separate from other donations?

Yes. Each donation has a purpose, and the donations screen shows totals for zakat, sadaqah and building funds separately.

Does the app calculate namaz times?

No. The committee enters the jamaat times, and members see them in the app. Change them whenever the masjid changes them.

Can the maktab teacher mark attendance in the app?

Yes. With sign-in, the teacher marks attendance by class and sees which parents have fees due.

Can the app send a notice to every member's phone?

Not by itself. Notices appear in the app when members open it. Sending alerts to everyone's phone would need a push service the committee sets up separately.
