A pocket Quran.
Nothing else.

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 internet, no apps, no notifications. No clock, even. And a battery you charge every few weeks, not every night.

Why a device

Phones make reading fragile.
This makes it inevitable.

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.

The device: only the mushaf
One book. Nothing else on it to open.
01

The real mushaf

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.

02

Instant resume

Your place is stored as surah and ayah, never a page number, so it survives every firmware update and every setting change.

03

Made for e-ink

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.

04

Truly offline

No radio, no account, no telemetry. Updates arrive over a USB cable, on your terms, from this site.

Reading, the way the page was designed

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.

  • Jump to any surah, ayah, juz, or page in a few presses
  • Bookmarks that cycle with a single button
  • Surah headers drawn with the mushaf's own ornament art
The same page at three, four, or five lines per view

Just you and the page

No badges, no pings, no feed underneath. A calm e-ink page that reads like paper and holds only the mushaf. Open it, read, close it. The device never asks for your attention back.

Two editions of the Madani mushaf

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.

The whole interface while you read: one quiet line at the bottom. How far you are, which juz, which surah, which page.
Hardware with a point of view

No internet. No apps.
Weeks of battery.

Everything a phone does to earn your attention, this device is physically incapable of. That is not a software promise that an update could quietly break. It is what the hardware is.

100% offline

Nothing to connect, nothing to sync, no account to sign in to. Airplane mode is not a setting here, it is the whole machine. Firmware updates happen over a USB-C cable, from this site, only when you plug it in and choose to.

Zero apps

There is no store and nothing to install. The mushaf is not an app on the device, it is the device. Nothing else can ever appear on it, interrupt it, or sit one tap away from it.

Weeks per charge

E-ink draws power only when the page turns, and the device sleeps between them. Read every day and charge it a couple of times a month. Leave it in a bag for a week and it opens to your ayah, exactly where you stopped.

The hardware

Five buttons. One job.

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.

Hide the lines.
Recite. Reveal.

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.

Hifz mode: lines hidden, half revealed, fully shown

Updates

New firmware, no network

The device never touches the internet. That is the whole point. Updating takes a USB-C cable and a browser.

  1. Plug inConnect the device to any computer with the USB-C cable.
  2. Open the flash pageIn Chrome or Edge, visit the flash page on this site.
  3. Click installYour reading position, bookmarks, and hifz state are untouched. They live on their own storage, by design.
