Reading - Naskh is now the default face, and both Arabic-script fonts are registered at four weights so the text can be thickened for a lit screen. - Category listings show each poem's opening line, fetched best-effort from api.ganjoor.net since the data set doesn't carry excerpts. - Tap a couplet to save that passage or copy it; a saved passage keeps a tappable link back to its poem. Poem text is selectable for plain copying. Languages - Persian, Urdu and English, Persian by default whatever the phone's locale, applied in attachBaseContext and switchable from the top bar or the sheet. - English chrome uses Libron (OFL); poems stay naskh or nastaliq throughout. - Each language gets its own values-* folder: with Farsi only in values/, Android was resolving it to the Urdu strings, since a same-script locale outranks the default. Offline - Downloaded poets mirror the data set's layout under filesDir, so offline mode is one lookup rather than a parallel path. Downloads run one poet at a time, skip what's on disk, and resume by restarting. - Downloads screen lists every poet with their portrait and tick boxes for picking several, plus storage used, delete, and download-everything behind a size warning. - Offline mode refuses the network and says what's missing rather than blaming the connection. Also: poet sort (Ganjoor's order or alphabetical, via a Persian collator), RTL nav transitions, an original shamsa launcher icon with a monochrome layer for themed icons, and preferences written with commit so they survive the process being killed. F-Droid: dependenciesInfo off, optional signing so the build works with no keystore, fastlane metadata in three languages, cleartext traffic disabled. Verified on an API 36 emulator: downloaded a poet, pulled the emulator's network, read them offline, and confirmed an undownloaded poet reports being missing rather than erroring.

A reader for Ganjoor, the open archive of Persian poetry — 240 poets and around 135,000 poems,
|
|
from Rudaki and Ferdowsi through Hafez, Saadi and Rumi to Parvin Etesami.
|
|
|
|
Built for reading rather than browsing:
|
|
|
|
* Poems are set as couplets, the way they are meant to be read, with prose sections laid out as prose.
|
|
* Two bundled fonts, Noto Naskh Arabic and Noto Nastaliq Urdu, switchable mid-poem, with four weights so the text can be thickened for a lit screen.
|
|
* Five themes: system, light, dark, sepia and sepia night.
|
|
* Adjustable text size.
|
|
* The whole interface reads and navigates right to left, in Persian, Urdu or English.
|
|
* Bookmark anything, kept on the device.
|
|
* Download a poet, or every poet, and read with no connection at all.

The poems come from a static, git-tracked export of Ganjoor's content served over a CDN. There is
|

no account, no tracking and no server of the app's own.
