Khatt: Learn Arabic Writing

revolve soft

About this app

Khatt teaches you to write Arabic by hand, one stroke at a time, in short lessons that feel like a game. Follow a path through the alphabet: meet each letter, trace it stroke by stroke, recognise it, copy it, then write it from memory. Khatt checks your writing the way a teacher would: shape, stroke direction, stroke order, dots and proportions.

LEARN ON A PATH
• Units grouped by shape family (ب ت ث, then ن ي, then ج ح خ…), so each lesson builds on strokes you already know.
• Lessons of about ten quick exercises: a new letter, guided tracing, pick-the-letter, listening, match-the-pairs, copying and writing from memory.
• Exercises you miss come back at the end of the lesson.
• XP, combos, a daily XP goal, streaks and a celebration when you finish a lesson.

TRACE STROKE BY STROKE
• Each stroke is checked the moment you lift your finger. A good stroke snaps into place; a wrong one shakes off and the stroke is shown again.
• Dots are just a tap.
• Animated stroke order: ink fills the real letter in pen order, with a numbered start point and an arrow for the next stroke.

SEE YOUR MISTAKES MOVE
• After you check, your writing slides onto the correct letter, so you can see how far each part was from where it belongs.
• Missed strokes are drawn in gold, strokes written backwards get arrows the right way, and your attempt stays behind as a faint ghost to compare.
• A score from 0 to 100 with stars, and a clear note on what to fix: missing dots, wrong direction, stroke order, stray strokes or stretched proportions.

EVERY LETTER, EVERY FORM
• All 28 letters plus hamza and its seats (أ إ آ ؤ ئ), tāʾ marbūṭa and alif maqṣūra: 36 in total.
• Each letter in all four positional forms: isolated, initial, medial and final.
• The sound of each letter, a writing tip and example words.
• Spaced repetition brings letters back just before you would forget them.

WORDS AND VOWEL MARKS
• About 40 everyday words and phrases in themed groups, such as greetings and family.
• Type any Arabic word and practise it. Letters join correctly, including the lām-alif ligature.
• Vowel marks: fatḥa, kasra, ḍamma, sukūn, shadda and tanwīn.

A CALLIGRAPHY PRACTICE SHEET
• Paper, ruled lines and a column of dots that measures the alif's height.
• Calligraphy-nib or round pen, in four ink colours.
• Stylus-only mode with palm rejection, adjustable strictness, light and dark themes.
• Letter names and words read aloud with your device's Arabic text-to-speech voice, when one is installed.

SEE YOUR PROGRESS
• A chart of the alphabet that lights up as you learn, and a mastery map of every letter.
• Streak, daily XP and a 14-day activity chart.
• "Then and now": your first attempt next to your best.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Khatt works fully offline. There is no account, no ads and no tracking, and your progress is stored only on your device.

Letter shapes are from the Noto Naskh Arabic typeface (SIL Open Font License).
