Mirrored with intent
Every layout is authored right-to-left: logical spacing, mirrored icons, back-arrows that actually go back. Nothing is flipped by a stylesheet and left to break.

We build Arabic apps that feel native — because they are.
Most studios design in English and flip it to Arabic at the end. We start on the right, in the script, with the reader — then the English falls out naturally. That order changes everything.

Built RTL-first
Right-to-left is not a setting we turn on. It is where we begin.
When Arabic comes last, it shows: cramped line-heights, numerals fighting the text, icons pointing the wrong way, a layout that was clearly born mirrored. Readers feel it even when they cannot name it.
So we build the Arabic screen first and derive the English from it — same components, mirrored with intent, every glyph and gap deliberate. The two versions below are one app, not two.

Same build. Mirrored on purpose.
What Arabic-first actually means
Three habits that separate a translated app from an Arabic one.
Typography that breathes
Arabic needs taller lines, kerned numerals, and a face chosen for screens — not a Latin font limping through diacritics. We tune type until the paragraph feels calm.
Fast as a feature
A crafted Arabic app still has to open in under two seconds on a mid-range phone in a weak-signal moment. Performance is designed in, not optimized later.
A few we shipped
Real apps, real stores, real ratings. Here are three; the rest live on the work page.
Qomra handed us an Arabic app our users actually finished onboarding in. Our support tickets dropped by a third the week we launched.
