Editorial interest 78/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A planned iPhone app that guides young learners through one Arabic letter a day: hear it, trace it, then optionally say it.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-27 issue.

Field notes

The planned lesson loop has three explicit stages—hearing an Arabic letter, tracing it onscreen, and optionally saying it—with a streak for days returned. The site specifies 28 letters and an iPhone requirement of iOS 16 or later. Its privacy boundary is unusually concrete: no network code, no third-party code, and voice processing intended to remain on-device, with speech recognition skipped when the device cannot provide it.
