Prayer times in San Francisco
San Francisco sits at the western edge of Pacific time, which pushes the whole day later on the clock than in Los Angeles despite being four degrees further north. The marine layer often hides the horizon, so a calculated Maghrib is more reliable here than a glance out of the window.

Why timetables disagree
Fajr and Isha depend on how far the sun sits below the horizon, and different authorities settled on different angles. A few minutes of variation between two timetables for San Francisco is normal rather than an error — it usually means they use different parameters, not that one is wrong. Mozzi defaults to ISNA here and lets you change it.
Across the year, Fajr in San Francisco ranges from about 04:15 at its earliest to 06:09 at its latest. That spread is the single biggest reason a printed timetable goes stale.
Asr, and the two calculations
Asr is the one prayer where the difference is large rather than marginal. The Hanafi calculation places it noticeably later than the Shafiʿi, Maliki and Hanbali one — in San Francisco today, about 54 minutes later. If Asr looks wrong to you and everything else looks right, that setting is almost always the reason.
Getting the adhan in San Francisco
Mozzi plays a real call to prayer at each time rather than a notification chime, and on iOS 26 it can sound through Silent mode and Focus the way an alarm does. Times are calculated on your phone, so it keeps working with no signal.
