Day 8/45 - The Birth of Asrify at 35,000 Feet
✈️ 35,000 Feet Above the Clouds
I was flying to Oman when I started building up the Asrify idea in my head. What problems to solve, what approach to take, what solutions to give, and so on.
Then the biggest question came — How to name it?

The Moment Asrify Was Born
Every great product needs a name that captures its essence. As I sat in that airplane seat, heading to Muscat, my mind was racing with ideas for what would become Asrify.
I had the vision clear: a time tracking and productivity platform that would help individuals and teams make the most of their most precious resource. But what to call it?
💡🤔 The Naming Journey
I thought about what it serves as one of our main features, then realized: Time!
Time is "Asr" (عصر) in Arabic - a word that carries deep meaning and significance.
I added "-ify" to make it actionable, modern, and global. Making time management simple.
Asr + ify = ASRIFY
Born at 35,000 feet in the air ✈️
The Landing in Muscat
The moment that sealed Asrify's destiny.
Landed Safely in Muscat
After hours of brainstorming and refining the concept at cruising altitude, we touched down in Oman's beautiful capital.
First Thing: Connect to Internet
The very first thing I did was connect to the airport WiFi. The excitement was overwhelming - I had to know if the domain was available.
The Domain Search
Went straight to my domain provider, typed "asrify.com" with fingers crossed...
Available! Got It Right Away!
That moment when you see "asrify.com is available" - pure joy! Purchased immediately, right there in the airport.
The Deeper Meaning: Surah Al-Asr
📖 The Qur'anic Inspiration
"By time, indeed, mankind is in loss, except those who have believed and done righteous deeds and advised each other to truth and advised each other to patience."
— Surah Al-Asr, 103:1-3
This powerful chapter of the Qur'an, though one of the shortest, contains profound wisdom about time and how we use it. It reminds us that time is precious and that we're all in a state of loss unless we use it wisely.
Asrify embodies this principle - helping you use your time wisely, track it meaningfully, and ensure that every moment counts toward something valuable.
