Recitation playlists

Set your portion once — which sūrahs, how many times, how long a pause. Then every time you press play it continues from the verse you stopped at, with the screen off and, once downloaded, with no connection at all.

How it works

A playlist is a list of parts — a sūrah, a range of verses, a juzʾ, a curated theme, or the whole Qurʾān — played in the order you add them. Each part can repeat, and each verse inside it can repeat, so “al-Ikhlāṣ three times, then al-Falaq three times” is exactly what it sounds like.

The pause between verses is real silence of a length you choose, including “as long as the verse just recited” — enough room for a child, or for you, to say it back before the next one begins. It is played as audio rather than counted on a timer, which is why it keeps its length when the phone is locked.

A playlist can be handed to somebody else as a link, and the link carries the playlist itself — every part in order, the repeats, the pause, the voice, and which translation to show. Nothing travels through an account or a server, and where you have got to in your own portion stays with you.

Everything is stored on your own device: the playlists, the saved positions, and the downloaded recitation. There is no account, no upload, and nothing that follows you to another browser.

Questions

What is a wird?
A wird (وِرْد) is the portion of the Qurʾān someone recites regularly — three sūrahs at night, a juzʾ a day, al-Kahf on Friday. Here it is a playlist you define once: what it plays, how many times, and what happens in the pauses.
Does it remember where I stopped?
Yes — that is the point. Your position is saved after every verse, down to which repetition you were on. Press play tomorrow and it continues from the verse after the last one you heard. A playlist you finished starts fresh, and tells you how many times you have completed it.
Can it keep playing with the screen off?
Yes. The playlist advances on the audio's own events rather than on timers, and it registers with your phone's media controls, so the sūrah shows on the lock screen and play, pause and skip work from there, from headphones, or from a car stereo.
Can I use it for a child at bedtime?
That is one of the shapes it ships with: al-Ikhlāṣ, al-Falaq and an-Nās, three times each, with an optional sleep timer that stops at the end of a verse rather than cutting one in half. You can also set a pause after each verse as long as the verse itself, so a child can repeat it back.
Can I share a wird with someone?
Yes — open a playlist's options and choose Share. The whole playlist travels inside the link itself: every part in order, the repeats, the pause, the voice, the sleep timer, and which translation to show. Whoever opens it sees exactly what it plays before deciding, and adds it in one tap. Nothing is uploaded, and your own place in the portion is not in the link.
What happens if I already have the wird someone sends me?
It is not added twice. A playlist is recognised by what it plays and how — not by its name — so the same three sūrahs with the same repeats is the same wird even under a different title, and you are offered the one you already have. The same sūrahs with different repeats is a genuinely different portion, so that one is added alongside, and says so.
Does it work without a connection?
Each playlist has a “keep on this device” control that downloads its recitation and text. After that it plays with no network at all — on a plane, or in a room the wifi does not reach.
Where is my playlist stored?
On this device, in this browser. There is no account and nothing is uploaded. Clearing the site's progress does not delete your playlists — they are something you wrote, not progress the app generated — only their saved positions.
