A small e-ink device that shows the authentic Madani mushaf in the King Fahd Complex script, full tashkeel, surah ornaments and all. It always opens exactly where you stopped. No apps. No notifications. No clock, even.
This is for reading the Quran any moment, anywhere: the train, the bus, a boarding queue. Carry it the way people carry a paperback. One book in your pocket, no distractions beside it, and it always opens exactly where you left off, on a paper-like screen that reads beautifully in sunlight.
Per-page King Fahd Complex glyphs, the same letterforms as the printed Madani mushaf, never a generic Arabic font. Line breaks, surah bands, and ayah marks exactly where they belong.
Your place is stored as surah and ayah, never a page number, so it survives every firmware update and every setting change.
Quiet partial refreshes while you read, one clean full refresh at the right rhythm. Designed against real panel behavior from the first line of code.
No radio, no account, no telemetry. Updates arrive over a USB cable, on your terms, from this site.
Three, four, or five mushaf lines per view, each laid out by the
mushaf's own layout data and scaled to fill the screen edge to
edge. A quiet progress line tells you where you are:
13% · Juz 5 · An-Nisa.
Surah bands with rosette ends, the basmallah in its authentic calligraphy, centered closing lines. A mushaf is not just text, it is a page you know by heart.
The King Fahd Complex printed two great cuts of this mushaf: the 1405H edition and the 1421H edition. This device carries both. Switch in the menu and the same ayah reappears in the other edition's own page layout, because your place is stored as an ayah, not a page.
Four arrows on the front: left and right turn the page, up enters hifz mode, down drives the drill. The power button sits on the right edge where your thumb rests: press to jump anywhere, hold for sleep. USB-C on the left edge is the only port: charging and firmware updates, nothing else.
One button hides the screen's lines behind quiet dashes. Recite from memory, then reveal line by line to check yourself, or restart the drill on a view you keep missing. Your memorization state is saved on the device, expressed in ayahs, portable across every future version.
The device never touches the internet. That is the whole point. Updating takes a USB-C cable and a browser.
Hardware prototyping is underway. The waitlist opens when the first enclosure closes.
