Kutayib: Islamic Books Offline

Kutayib is a fully offline reader for classical Arabic and Islamic heritage books (turath), built for long reading and precise search. The app ships with no books. You choose what enters your library: • Download what you want from open sources (OpenITI texts under CC BY-NC-SA) with one tap: core texts (mutun) and books of tafsir, hadith, fiqh, aqeedah, seerah, history, and adab. • Or import your own files: PDF, EPUB, plain text, and Markdown, with the original file kept for reference. Reading: • A comfortable page viewer with careful Arabic typography, and control over face, size, and appearance (light and dark). • Footnotes open with a tap on their marker, and page numbers match the print where available. • A drawn cover for every book in the style of traditional bindings. • Scanned books open as printed: pinch to zoom freely and annotate with Apple Pencil (pen, highlighter, eraser). Search: • Instant Arabic search inside one book or across the whole library, tolerant of hamza and diacritic variation and aware of a word's derivations. Organization: • Favorites, tags, shelf sections you create yourself, and continue-reading from where you stopped. • Favorites, reading positions, highlights, ink, and imported books sync through your own iCloud alone. • Siri, Shortcuts, Spotlight, and a home-screen widget keep your last book at hand. No account, no ads, no tracking. The app is completely free. The interface is available in Arabic and English.
