A desktop workspace for Sinhala, Tamil, and English, combining a font library, live typography playground, trilingual glossary, and Sinhala ASCII-to-Unicode converter.

Why it surfaced

Akuru App brings together unusually specific language infrastructure: a glossary of 384,627 technical terms sourced from Sri Lanka's Official Languages Department, plus tools for exploring fonts and converting Sinhala text. Its focus on three scripts makes it feel less like a generic design app than a deliberate attempt to give multilingual creative work its own workspace.
