Your Data Stays With You
AyahLab was built with privacy as a core principle, not an afterthought.
Your data never leaves your device.
AyahLab is a fully offline desktop application. There are no accounts, no telemetry, and no analytics of any kind. Your notes, bookmarks, and settings are stored entirely on your local device. The author has absolutely no way to see, access, or collect any of your data.
No Accounts
No sign-up, no login. Open the app and start studying immediately. Nothing is tracked or tied to an identity.
Zero Telemetry
No crash reports, usage analytics, or any background network activity. The app never phones home.
Minimal Network Use
The only network requests are: manuscript images from Corpus Coranicum (on demand) and recitation audio (when explicitly downloaded). No personal data is included.
Three Editors. One Workspace.
The Editor Panel adapts to your study style — from rich notes to published papers to live code.
Lexical — Rich Text Notes
A rich text editor for free-form study notes and commentary. Capture translations, research notes, or personal reflection alongside the Quran reader.
- Headings, bold, italic, bullet lists, numbered lists, inline links
- Ideal for personal commentary and cross-reference notes
- Files persist automatically between sessions
