Pro Bono Initiatives

Two things we built and gave away.

Engagements without invoices. Built by the same crew, with the same discipline, then handed to the communities they serve. Restraint extends to giving.

Wird — Quran on the Lock Screen

Quran verse rendered as artwork on the Android lock screen.

An ambient Quran recitation Android application that renders the currently-playing verse as Arabic artwork on the lock screen, Always-On Display, and in-car surfaces — without keeping the app open or the screen on. Built and donated freely by Embedded Crew.

What we built & gave
  • Native Android application — Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, Material 3
  • Custom MediaSession artwork pipeline (3000×3000 runtime compositing)
  • End-to-end Quranic text integrity — NFC normalization, per-verse SHA-256 checksums
  • Cross-session position memory and one-tap daily wird automation
