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.
Why was Quran Gate created?
Quran Gate was created with a simple goal: to help people spend less time on mindless scrolling and more time engaging with the Quran. The idea came from recognizing how much time we collectively spend on social media and imagining a better use for even a small portion of that time.
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 Gate is built with the belief that Quran reading should be free from distractions. We do not interrupt your reading experience with ads.
How does Quran Gate block apps?
Choose the apps you want to limit and set a time allowance from 5 to 120 minutes. When it runs out, those apps are blocked. To open them again, you complete a short Quran reading ritual in Quran Gate, which unlocks them for a set time. A limited emergency unlock is there for genuine emergencies. On iPhone this uses Apple's Screen Time API; on Android it uses the Accessibility Service to detect when a blocked app is opened.
Can Quran Gate block websites and whole app categories?
Yes, with Premium. You can block individual apps, entire categories such as social media or games, and websites. The free plan blocks one app.
Does Quran Gate have audio recitation?
Yes. You can listen to 6 renowned reciters, and each word is highlighted as it is recited so you can follow along word by word. You can also bookmark ayahs and share them as image cards.
Which translations are available?
Quran Gate offers 16 translations in 11 languages, including English (Saheeh International, Yusuf Ali, Abdel Haleem), Urdu, Persian, Turkish, Indonesian, Malay, French, German, Spanish, Russian and Bengali, plus a transliteration toggle.
Which Quran script does Quran Gate use?
Quran Gate uses the Uthmani script, one of the most widely recognized and trusted Quran scripts used around the world.
Can I use Quran Gate offline?
Yes, for reading. The Quran text and your chosen translation are downloaded during setup, so you can read and complete your unlock ritual without a connection. Audio recitation and switching reciters need an internet connection.
