A Quran companion
for the whole home.

Qalaam is a family-aware, smart-home-aware Quran and Hifdh platform. Read, listen, and memorize — across every speaker in your home. Adhan-aware. No ads, ever. Private by design.

Privacy posture

Audio never leaves the trust boundary.

Mistake-detection ASR runs on your device. The cloud-sync schema architecturally rejects audio fields — there is no path for raw recitation audio to reach a Qalaam server. We never sell, profile, or biometrically fingerprint user audio.

Data sources

Qalaam is built on top of high-quality, openly-licensed Quranic data. Their attribution is below — required by their licenses, and offered gladly.

  1. Quranic Universal Library (QUL)

    Tarteel AI

    Canonical Uthmani text, KFGQPC mushaf layouts, 14 reciters with word-level segments, mutashabihat clusters, similar-ayah pairs, surah info, word-by-word.
