Core Feature

📖

Unlock Ritual

Read a few verses before unlocking your apps — presented Stories-style, with a progress bar tracking your place. The ritual adapts to your goal, from half a page up to three pages a day. Finish the reading, and the unlock is earned.

Core Feature

🎧

Recitation, Word by Word

Listen to 6 renowned reciters while each word lights up as it is recited — karaoke-style — so you can read exactly along with the reciter. Bookmark any ayah and share it as a beautiful card.

How It Works

Four steps to a
better phone habit

Setup takes under 3 minutes. The habit lasts a lifetime.

Choose your apps

Select which distracting apps to gate — Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Twitter. You're in full control.

Set your limit

Define how many minutes of total usage before the gate kicks in — anywhere from 5 to 120. Be honest with yourself — start with 30 minutes.

Read to unlock

When your limit is hit, apps are shielded. Open Quran Gate, complete your reading ritual, and your apps unlock for the defined time. A limited emergency unlock is there for genuine emergencies.

Build your streak

Each completed ritual extends your streak. Watch your 90-day heatmap fill in, accumulate verses, and feel the change day by day.

Al-Baqarah • 2:255

اللَّهُ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ

Allah — there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of existence.

Questions, answered

What is Quran Gate?

Quran Gate is a Quran app and an app blocker in one. You set a time limit for distracting apps like Instagram, TikTok and YouTube; when it runs out, they lock until you read a short passage of the Quran. Underneath is a full Quran reader with Tajweed coloring, translations, recitation and streak tracking.

Is Quran Gate free to use?

Yes, there is a free plan. It lets you block one app and includes the full Quran reader. Premium unlocks unlimited apps, app categories and websites, and starts with a 7-day free trial, then a monthly or annual subscription. One subscription covers your whole family through Family Sharing.

Does Quran Gate contain advertisements?

No. Quran reading should be free from distractions, so there are no ads in Quran Gate — on the free plan or Premium.

How is Quran Gate different from other Quran apps?

Most Quran apps wait for you to open them. Quran Gate meets you at the moment you reach for Instagram or TikTok: once your time limit runs out, those apps unlock only after you read. Each reading continues exactly where the last one ended, so the unlocks add up to finishing the whole Quran.

Is Quran Gate available on Android?

Yes. Quran Gate is available on both iPhone and Android. Download it free from the App Store or Google Play.

Does it work offline?

Yes, for reading. The Quran text and your chosen translation download during setup, so you can read and complete your unlock ritual without a connection. Audio recitation needs an internet connection.
