## What is Alif?

Save time and make talking to loved ones easier — Islamic phrases always at hand.

Send greetings, thanks, and congratulations in one tap — in your language or in the Arabic original. No more typing the same phrase over and over or searching how to spell it — just open Alif in any messaging app, social network, notes, or email.

FREE:
• A library of everyday Islamic phrases — greetings, thanks, congratulations, condolences, duas, and remembrance of Allah
• Transliteration in 7 languages — Russian, English, Spanish, German, French, Kazakh, and Turkish
• Original Arabic — with or without diacritics, your choice
• Two languages on the keyboard at once — your language and Arabic, swap them anytime
• "Phrases & Meanings" section — translation and explanation for every phrase, including forms of address and replies
• Formatting — capitalize the first letter of a phrase or the whole phrase
• Edit transliteration for up to three phrases, free
• Suggest phrases to add to the library

WITH ALIF PREMIUM — PERSONALIZE YOUR KEYBOARD:
• Edit transliteration — no limit on the number of phrases
• Multilingual — up to three languages at once, switch right from the keyboard in one tap (e.g., EN ↔ AR ↔ RU)
• Reorder phrases — by frequency of use or manually
• Hide phrases you don't use — keep only what you need on the keyboard
• Academic transliteration (Modified IJMES) — for precise pronunciation

MORE:
• Works on iPhone and iPad, synced via iCloud
• No sign-up, no account required

Chatting, congratulating someone, offering condolences, making dua, or sharing a reminder — Alif helps you quickly use the phrase you need, whenever you need it.

ABOUT FULL ACCESS
iOS requires Full Access for any third-party keyboard to work — this isn't unique to Alif.

Alif has no regular text input — only ready-made phrase templates, so there's nothing else it could send besides them. We never read, store, or transmit anything you type. Only anonymous statistics are collected — crashes and how often phrases are used — to make the app better.

PLEASE NOTE
Alif is free to use in its basic version, but the full set of features requires an Alif Premium subscription (monthly, yearly, or a one-time Lifetime purchase) — you'll see the price in the app before paying. Payment is charged to your Apple Account. Auto-renewable subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple Account settings.

*2026-08-21*

нереальное приложение)))

### 1/5 — Испортились

*2026-08-20*

Что это такое? Почему полностью изменили приложение, у меня теперь нет полных фраз приветствия на арабском, я специально купила премиум для этого, а щас я не могу внести все свои фразы, которыми пользуюсь, все слетело, теперь не вижу в нем смысла

### 5/5 — Вы обновились

*2026-08-20*

Я у какой-то момент испугалась думая что удалили приложение(оно пропала из моей клавиатуры), но увидев что обновили выдохнула)) прекрасное приложение, успеха вам.

### 5/5 — Верните все как было!!!

*2026-08-19*

Дорогие разработчики! Да воздаст вам Аллах благом за ваши старания! Очень любил ваше приложение за возможность добавлять свои фразы и шаблоны на ответы .Но с последним обновлением все сохраненные шаблоны удалились и пропала возможность добавлять свои шаблоны. После этого уже не хочется использовать это приложение. Пожалуйста верните эту возможность!!! Ради Аллаха вас прошу !! Вы этим обновлением убрали всю его ценность. Ладно базовые фразы и выражения - то что их нельзя редактировать - ОК можно их разместить в самый низ, НО зачем убирать возможность добавлять свои выражения ???? Причем я использую платную версию приобрел пожизненный доступ. А теперь что делать ??? Как быть ?? Услышьте пожалуйста меня. БаракАллахуфикум!! Без этой возможности добавлять свои шаблоны - одна звезда. С той функцией что была - возможность добавить свои фразы и шаблоны - тысяча звезд!!

### 3.0 — 2026-08-18

This is Mboard — now called Alif, with an update that changes everything

We've rethought every detail: a new name, rebuilt code, and a new design — not just for the app, but for the keyboard itself. It's now noticeably easier to use and smarter.

What's new:
• The phrase library has grown significantly
• Salam now has short, medium, and full forms — with replies for each
• "Jazak Allahu khayran," "Barak Allahu feek," and "Rahimahu Allah" have forms by gender and number, depending on who you're addressing
• Pin the form you need — from then on it's inserted in one tap
• Phrases in the original Arabic — with or without diacritics
• Switch languages right on the keyboard, in one tap
• Transliteration in 7 languages — Russian, English, Spanish, German, French, Kazakh, and Turkish — plus international (modified IJMES) for more precise pronunciation
• Hide phrases you don't use — keep only what you need on the keyboard
• Phrase order — by frequency of use or manually
• Full iPad support
• iCloud sync

You used to be able to add phrases manually — the library is now curated by us, but you can always suggest a phrase you're missing.

If you purchased Pro or VIP — restore your purchase in the app, and we'll upgrade you to lifetime Alif Premium for free, as a thank-you for being with us from the very beginning. If restoring doesn't work — email us at support@gatafan.com and we'll sort it out together.
