How it listens
The unit of playback is a single ayah — not a surah, not a file. That is why the text on screen and the voice never drift apart, and why repeating, looping and pausing between ayat are possible at all.
The session panel · ⌘U
One app, four postures. Each changes what is on screen, how long the pauses are, and whether the words appear at all.
Continuous recitation with the ayah rising over the scene.
For working, walking, and the long stretches.
Meaning alongside the words, with a breath between ayat.
For reading along and sitting with the meaning.
Loop a range, repeat each ayah, slow the pace.
For committing a passage to memory.
Scene and ambience only. For rest and for sleep.
For rest, and for sleep.
Voices and meanings
A reciter often has several recordings — Minshawi alone has Murattal, Mujawwad, the teaching muṣḥaf and the 1387 AH recording — and Sukon treats them as the different recitations they are, not as different files of the same thing.

Sound · ⌘K
Rain, wind, waves, a stream and a low drone, each on its own fader — every layer generated sample by sample as it plays. It never repeats, because there is nothing to repeat.
Details
Every ayah you have listened to is kept on disk. A surah you have played once plays again with no connection at all — and the Arabic never needed the network to begin with, because the muṣḥaf text ships in the app.
It does not cut off. The recitation and the ambience come down together over the last stretch, so the room empties rather than snapping shut.
Play, pause and skip from the menu bar, the media keys, or Now Playing — without bringing the window forward.
The ayah is set in KFGQPC HAFS Uthmanic Script, the type the muṣḥaf is actually printed in. It is registered privately at launch, so it never touches your font book.
Keyboard
And beyond the Qur’an
Radio carries live stations that simply keep going; Azkaar holds the morning and evening sets, counted and unhurried. Each has its own settings, and both sit in the same still frame as the recitation.
Recitation, ayah by ayah, over a scene
The unit of playback is a single ayah, which is why the text on screen and the voice never drift apart, and why repeating, looping and pausing between ayat are possible at all. Twelve reciters, fifteen translations, all 114 surahs.
Live stations, playing continuously
For when you would rather not choose. Open a station and it keeps going — recitation without a queue to manage, running behind whatever else you are doing.
Morning and evening remembrance
The morning and evening sets, counted and unhurried, in the same still frame as everything else. Each one rests over the scene for as long as you need it.
