TL;DR: Public roadmap as of April 2026. Committed items ship this year; considered items are under active evaluation. We don’t publish things we’re not genuinely working on — this list is shorter than our competitors’ for that reason.
Shipped this quarter (Q1 2026)
- Arabic and Urdu full-site localization — 24 pages live, remaining pages targeted for Q2.
- Recitation verifier model v3.1 — 12% accuracy improvement on non-native accents.

Committed Q2 2026 (Apr–Jun)

Under consideration (2027)
These are being evaluated seriously but not yet committed.
- Qira’at beyond Hafs — Warsh, Qalun, Duri as read-along modes, not initial memorization.
- Desktop app — native macOS and Windows builds for serious revision sessions.
- API for madrasah partners — anonymous, aggregate class-progress data for institutions.
- Memorization by tafsir-first approach — an alternate path starting with meaning, then memorization.
Things we’re deliberately not building
- Social feeds or public leaderboards. Competitive memorization is spiritually corrosive.
- AI-generated fatwa or tafsir. Religious interpretation belongs to qualified humans.
- Cloud-based recitation storage. On-device is a moral commitment, not a technical convenience.
- Gamification mechanics that trigger compulsive engagement.
How priorities are set
We prioritize in this order: (1) religious integrity, (2) clearly requested user needs, (3) technical debt that slows everything else, (4) new capabilities. Items don’t ship unless they score well on all four.
