Mawrid is designed to work without an account, advertising, analytics, or tracking.
Data Mawrid stores
Mawrid stores the following information locally in Chrome storage on your device:
- interface, translation, reciter, theme, motion, clock, repeat, and ayah-selection preferences;
- Tafseer, playback speed, and verse-volume preferences;
- selected display background, background favorites, dark/light/system mode, automatic-rotation choice, and blur preference;
- manually entered prayer city/country, calculation method, school, time adjustments, DST, labels, Adhan mode/voice/volume, and mute choice;
- saved ayahs;
- a limited cache of previously validated ayahs;
- a limited cache of monthly prayer calendars;
- the last displayed ayah;
- first-run completion and a random local seed used for daily ayah selection;
- Settings choices, including module visibility, number format, Hijri adjustment, verse visibility, and Islamic reminder preferences;
- user-created quick-link names and addresses;
- the selected dhikr phrase and its local count.
This local information is used only to provide Mawrid's visible features. Mawrid does not transmit it to the developer or sell, share, or use it for advertising.
The Data Management section can export settings, saved ayahs, quick links, and dhikr progress to a JSON file you choose. Importing a backup is an explicit local action; Mawrid validates the file before replacing those local values. Backups are not uploaded by Mawrid.
Network requests
Mawrid makes read-only HTTPS requests to the Quran.com API to retrieve Quran text, translations, Tafseer, search results, metadata, and recitation URLs. Recitation audio is delivered over HTTPS by Quran.com's media CDN (verses.quran.com); a small number of reciters not carried by Quran.com are streamed from EveryAyah's CDN.
Mawrid sends the manually entered city and country, calculation method, school, year, and month to the AlAdhan API to retrieve prayer times. Full Adhan audio, when enabled or previewed, is streamed from AlAdhan's CDN. Normal service infrastructure may process technical request information such as IP address according to those providers' own policies.
Mawrid does not send saved ayahs, preferences, browsing history, opened websites, or account information with these requests.
Display-gallery backgrounds are bundled inside the extension. Selecting, favoriting, rotating, or blurring a background does not make a network request.
