Quran, on the lock screen.
While the screen is off.

Wird renders each ayah as high-resolution Arabic artwork and pushes it to the OS media session — so the currently-playing verse appears on your lock screen, notification shade, Always-On Display, and car stereo. You listen with a visual reference, without keeping the app open or the screen awake.

The lock-screen mushaf

The verse is the artwork.

Existing Quran apps force a bad tradeoff: either keep the app open with the screen on for the whole session, or listen in the background with no visual reference to the verse being recited. Wird does something simpler. Every ayah is its own media track, and its cover art is the verse itself, rendered at 3000×3000 in a proper mushaf hand.

Every surface the OS shows media on becomes a quiet mushaf — no app open, no screen awake.

Verse five of Surah al-Baqarah rendered on the lock screen

Daily wird, automated

One tap. Where you left off.

Pick a portion — a quarter hizb, a half, a full juz — and tap play. Wird resumes from the exact verse you stopped at last session, plays through your portion, and stops at the boundary. Position memory, automatic cycling between khatmahs, and progress tracking are all built in. Your only daily action is that one tap.

A wird dies from friction. Remove the friction, and the habit keeps itself.

Text integrity

Every verse, sealed.

The Quranic corpus is treated as inviolable data, not string-manipulable text. Integrity is enforced end-to-end, from build to render — not as a feature, but as an invariant.

NFC normalization at build time

Every diacritic and joined glyph has a single canonical Unicode encoding. Nothing is transformed at runtime — the corpus is frozen before it ever reaches the device.
