Mektebi is a calm, simple platform for running a mekteb β€” a Quran school. It brings the class schedule, attendance records and monthly tuition tracking into one place, without unnecessary noise. Who it's for: β€’ Students β€” view your own schedule, report an absence, and see your tuition status β€’ Teachers (hafiz) β€” take attendance, manage the class calendar, review tuition by group β€’ School administrators β€” groups, invitations, teachers and statistics in one place What you get: β€’ A weekly schedule with clear notice of cancellations and rescheduled classes β€’ Fast attendance tracking β€” who attended, with excused absences β€’ Monthly tuition records with a history of changes β€’ Notifications for schedule changes and tuition reminders How access works: Mektebi is made for schools. Your account is provided by your school β€” an administrator invites you, and you activate it from an email. There is no public sign-up inside the app. Calm and distraction-free: No ads, no chat, no social feed. Only what a mekteb truly needs. The tone is calm and respectful. Privacy: One school's data is never shared with another. A student can delete their account from within the app at any time. The app requires an internet connection and an account provided by your school.

About

Khatm AI

Khatm AI is a Quran reader that listens. Open the mushaf, tap the microphone, and start reciting. The app follows your voice verse by verse, marks where you are, and turns the page for you β€” so your hands stay free and your eyes stay on the text. Recognition runs entirely on your device. Your voice is never recorded, never uploaded, and never sent to a server. There is no account to create and nothing to sign in to. The app works in airplane mode. FOUR WAYS TO READ Reading β€” Recite and let the app keep your place. Verse tracking with automatic page turning across all 604 pages of the Madinah mushaf. Listening β€” Play a recitation from well-known reciters, verse by verse, with the text highlighted as it is recited. Learning β€” Study word by word with tajweed colouring, and replay any ayah at your own pace. Tafsir & Translation β€” Read commentary and translation beside the verse, in your own language. BUILT FOR THE WAY YOU READ β€’ Full Madinah mushaf, Hafs 'an 'Asim, 604 pages with authentic tajweed colouring β€’ All 114 surahs, searchable by name in Arabic or Latin letters, by number, or by page β€’ Khatm progress tracking by juz and page, so you always know where you are β€’ Resume exactly where you left off β€’ Light and dark themes β€’ Ten interface languages: English, Arabic, Turkish, Indonesian, Urdu, Bengali, French, Spanish, Kurdish and Somali β€’ Full iPad support, portrait and landscape β€’ Screen stays awake while you recite FREE, AND FREE OF EVERYTHING ELSE Every mode is free. No subscription, no in-app purchases, no advertising, no analytics, no tracking, no account. The app collects no personal data of any kind. A NOTE ON WHAT THIS IS Khatm AI is a study aid, not a religious authority. Speech recognition is probabilistic and can be wrong β€” its feedback should never be treated as confirmation that a recitation is correct. For religious guidance, consult a qualified scholar. The Quranic text and tajweed colouring come from the King Fahd Glorious Quran Printing Complex. Tafsir and translation texts come from a public open dataset, and each book's author is credited on its own screen. Full attribution is in the app under Settings β†’ Sources & licenses.
