Alperen

Alperen is a lightweight application designed to act as an Adhan prayer time calculator as well as a reminder of the important holy days in Islam.

The setup is fast, straightforward and does not require any special attention from your part. You can simply unpack the archive in the desired location on your local disk. Upon launch, you are prompted to set the calculations parameters along with the reminders for the Fajr Adhan and Salawaat.

You should know that the program does not come with an interface per se, but rather you can access its main functions from the System Tray. To be more precise, you can set the timers, reports, graphics, NetTime and the preferred Adhan by right-clicking on the app's icon.

The highlight of the application stems from the fact that it includes a database of over 6,500 cities from all across the globe. Consequentially, you can immediately learn the precise pray times regardless of the timezone of the geographic region you are currently traveling to.

The tool can be configured to provide you with you warnings minutes before the actual prayer times, a function that can be helpful for users with a hectic working schedule. The alerts can be displayed as a balloon or a more discreet message-box.

At the same time, the program can also be used to recite various versions of Adhan, namely the Isha, Asr, Fajr, Zuhr and Sunset. The option can come in handy for families established outside the Middle East and that prefer to teach their children parts of their religious heritage.

In the eventuality that you are traveling rather frequently and you want to make sure that you do not miss out on the important holidays in Islam or the prayers during the day during Ramadan, then perhaps Alperen could come in handy.
