Pillars is a popular app used by Muslims worldwide for accurate prayer times, Qibla direction, and Ramadan tracking. My redesign focuses on improving clarity, accessibility, and overall user flow, while modernising the visual language with a calm, spiritual tone.

While Pillars is widely trusted, several usability issues became clear:
The navigation felt crowded and unintuitive.
Important information (next prayer, Qibla, fasting time) didn’t have enough visual hierarchy.
Ramadan features were functional but visually disconnected from the rest of the experience.
The interface lacked cohesion, especially in dark mode where many users rely on the app at night.
These issues created friction during moments where users expect simplicity and focus.
The Goal:
Design a cleaner, more cohesive experience that:
Makes the next prayer time instantly clear.
Provides a more intuitive and accurate Qibla compass.
Streamlines Ramadan information into a calmer, more spiritual space.
Reduces cognitive load with improved hierarchy, spacing, and component structure.
Enhances dark mode readability for night-time use.
