Help & Support

How can we help?

Khatam is built to be self-explanatory, but here are answers to the things people ask most. Can't find it? We're a short email away.

Common questions

Setting up your khatam

On first launch, choose your mushaf (Madani 604 by default, or a custom page count), pick a target, and you're tracking in under a minute. You can edit the plan any time from the dashboard menu.

Deadline vs. daily pace

Finish by a date holds your date and adjusts the daily target as you go. Read N pages a day holds your pace and lets the finish date move. A missed day is handled gently, either way.

Logging your reading

Tap Log reading and slide the dial to the page you stopped at, or tap a +1 / +5 / +10 / next-Juz chip. Khatam works out how many pages that was and updates everything instantly.

Streaks & the activity grid

Reading on a day keeps your streak alive and lights up that day in the grid. Intensity reflects how much of the day's target you met. Read every day and the grid fills with light.

Backfilling a missed day

In History, switch to Calendar and tap any past day to add or adjust what you read. Backfilling recomputes your streak and progress — so it can even repair a streak retroactively.

Widgets, Lock Screen & Siri

Add Khatam widgets to your Home or Lock Screen for at-a-glance progress, and log reading right from the medium widget. You can also say “Log my Quran reading” to Siri, or build Shortcuts.

iCloud sync & offline use

With iCloud on, your khatam syncs privately across your devices. With it off, everything still works on-device and you'll see an “iCloud off — local only” note in Settings.

Export, import & new devices

From Settings, export all your data to a JSON file, and import it on another device. It's your backup and your way to move without relying on sync.

Finishing or shelving a khatam

Reaching the last page triggers a quiet celebration and marks the khatam complete. You can then start a new one. Not finishing? “Put it to shelf” to archive it to your history.

Reminders & notifications

Set one or more daily reminders in Settings, with wording that reflects whether you're on pace. All reminders are local — nothing is scheduled on a server.

Languages & numerals

Khatam ships in English and Bahasa Melayu, following your system language. You can also switch between Latin and Arabic-Indic (٠١٢٣) numerals in Settings.

Privacy & your data

Khatam collects nothing and makes no network calls beyond your own iCloud. Your data stays yours. See the Privacy Policy for the full picture.

Still stuck? Email us at hello@khatam.xyz and tell us what you were trying to do and what happened. Because your reading data stays on your device, support is about using the app — we can't (and won't) see your logs.
