Arabic Script Practice

A free app that helps you learn how to write Arabic, with AI-powered calligraphy feedback on every stroke. Available as a web PWA and a native desktop app (Windows, macOS, Linux).

Web: https://www.writearabic.app

Draw individual letters (in all four positional forms), common words, or work through a spaced-repetition review queue of letters due for re-practice. Apple Pencil, stylus, touch, and mouse input are all supported. All progress is stored locally; no account required.
