Write like it’s paper
Rest your palm, press for darker ink, hold a stroke to straighten an underline. Every mark keeps its pressure, tilt, and twist, and it stays exactly where you left it.
Study the Qur’an in your own hand

كِتَـٰبٌ أَنزَلْنَـٰهُ إِلَيْكَ مُبَـٰرَكٌ لِّيَدَّبَّرُوٓا۟ ءَايَـٰتِهِۦ وَلِيَتَذَكَّرَ أُو۟لُوا۟ ٱلْأَلْبَـٰبِ
kitābun anzalnāhu ilayka mubārakun liyaddabbarū āyātihi waliyatadhakkara ulū l-albābi
“[This is] a blessed Book which We have revealed to you, [O Muḥammad], that they might reflect upon its verses and that those of understanding would be reminded.”
Ṣād 38:29 · Saheeh International
The entire muṣḥaf is already inside: 604 pages of verified Uthmani script, 6,236 āyāt, and 77,429 word-by-word translations. All of it readable and searchable offline, verse by verse or as a continuous muṣḥaf page.
Uthmani text, Saheeh International translation, and the word-by-word corpus ship inside the app. Online tafsīr and further translations come from the Quran Foundation’s reviewed resources and are never machine-translated.
Read it. Write on it. Find it again.
Underline a phrase, note the margin, circle a root. The page stays primary, and every mark stays put.
Read it your way
Verse by verse with translation, or a true muṣḥaf page of continuous Arabic. The script never shrinks to fit a screen: pages breathe, and you scroll.
Layer your thinking
Keep tafsīr, vocabulary, and memorization on separate layers you show or hide. One page, read three ways.
Notes that keep context
Every verse note, sticky note, and bookmark reopens the exact page and āyah it belongs to.
Search all of it
One search covers the Qur’an, your notebooks, notes, and bookmarks. Last Ramadan’s reflection is a few letters away.
Never lose a mark
Versioned local backups, one-tap recovery, and printable PDF exports of a whole notebook.

- Free means free forever. Reading the complete Qur’an and writing on it never move behind a paywall.
Your study stays yours

Online tafsīr, translations, and recitation come from licensed sources, shown with their citations. Deleting your cloud account never touches the notebooks on your device.

A letter from the team
We started Ayah Ink because our own muṣḥafs were overflowing: pencil fading, sticky tabs falling out, notebooks drifting away from the pages they belonged to. We wanted one desk where reading and writing stay together for a lifetime of study.
We hold this work as an amānah. The text comes from verified, licensed sources and is treated with the care it deserves. Your study belongs to you alone. And nothing in the app will ever nudge, gamify, or interrupt you for engagement’s sake. It is a desk, not a feed.
If you’ve wanted this too, begin on the web today. Keep us in your du‘ās.
