The development of mobile technology has introduced various digital tools that support religious practices, including prayer reminder applications designed to help Muslims perform their daily prayers on time. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of prayer reminder applications in improving the discipline of daily worship among Muslims. The research employed a mixed-methods approach combining quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews. A total of 120 respondents aged 17–35 years who actively use prayer reminder applications participated in the study. Data were collected through an online questionnaire using a Likert scale to measure application usage and prayer discipline indicators such as punctuality, consistency in performing five daily prayers, and responsiveness to application notifications. Statistical analysis using SPSS indicated a significant increase in worship discipline after using the application, with the average score rising from 3.1 to 4.4 (p < 0.05). The findings suggest that prayer reminder applications play an important role in supporting consistent worship practices by providing timely notifications and accessible religious information. Therefore, religious mobile applications can function as effective digital tools to strengthen spiritual habits and support disciplined worship in modern Muslim life.
