Rawi is an iOS app that identifies any ayah of the Quran from live recitation, instantly and entirely on-device. Built for Arabic-learning Muslims and non-Arabic-speaking Muslims to access the words they hear in prayer, study, and daily life.

Product design, end to end (the part I came in with)
iOS development with Claude Code (the part I'm learning in public)
On-device speech recognition and ayah matching architecture
Marketing, growth, and community building across LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok, and X
