Fifteen weeks,
one rhythm.

A clickable prototype of the redesigned QuranFlow app — the semester program, rebuilt around one question: where am I, and what's next?

Why we redesigned

Students were doing the work — watching, reciting, showing up — and still felt lost in their own program.

01

Disorientation

"8 out of 15" never read as Week 8. Students didn't know what week they were on, when the semester started, or what to do today.

02

Missed sessions

The live schedule sat five clicks deep behind an external calendar link. Students missed sessions they fully intended to attend.

03

Unnoticed feedback

Coach feedback arrived and students never saw it — the "Feedback" button read as give feedback, and notifications carried no context.

The shift

Today's app

  • A collection of features — videos here, schedule there, feedback somewhere
  • Schedule five clicks deep, in someone else's timezone
  • Progress as "8 out of 15", meaning unclear
  • Feedback that arrives silently

The redesign

  • The Weekly Rhythm — every screen answers "Week 8 of 15" and shows only what's next
  • Sessions one tap away, always in your own timezone
  • One loop per week: Watch → Record → Feedback, with two attempts and a coach reply within 48 hours
  • Feedback that announces itself — "Feedback ready", in gold, on the words you recited
What you are looking at

A hi-fi prototype of the iOS app. Clickable, not final art. It shows structure and direction.

One member, mid-journey. Sarah, Week 8 of a 15-week semester. She watches the week's tajweed lesson, records Al-Mulk 67:1, and hears her coach's notes on the exact words.

The coach's side is included. The last chapters cross to the coach app: the review queue, reviewing a recitation, and the coach's schedule.

Real curriculum, demo data. Lessons and verses are drawn from the actual program; names, dates, and counts are fixtures.

How to move through it

It opens into a guided tour. A rail under the phone walks ~20 chapters in order, in five acts: getting oriented → the weekly rhythm → sessions & coaching → learn & progress → the coach app. Step with the ‹ › buttons, or the arrow keys on a laptop.

Or explore freely. Tap on the rail and just use the app — four tabs (Today · Learn · Sessions · You), the lesson, the recorder, booking. Everything is live.

Prefer no chrome at all? The App is the same build with the tour hidden — first-person, like the shipped product.

What we held onto

No streaks, no guilt

Progress is a real semester, not a fragile counter. Nothing shames, nothing expires at midnight for effect.

One thing at a time

Every screen shows what's next, one week reference, one primary action. Depth on demand, never all at once.

Times are always yours

Every session renders in the viewer's timezone, stated once per screen — never a guess, never someone else's clock.

It reaches the lock screen

Week, next session, and feedback meet the student before the app opens. Reading the week's verse there and never opening the app is a success.

Four ways in
Try it

Outside the app

The ambient layer

One week lived on the lock screen, widgets, and Dynamic Island — reaching students before the app opens.
