01 Overview

A concept iOS app built for a well-known Arabic-language podcast with millions of listeners across the region. Shipped to TestFlight only, kept as a concept piece due to copyright considerations around the source content.

02 The Idea

Most podcasts live scattered across Spotify, YouTube, and Instagram. None of those feel like home.

This was an exploration of what a podcast could look like with a native app of its own, built around membership, community, and a sense of place.

03 Features
01
The Circle
A paid membership tier for exclusive episodes, early access, and member perks.
02
Majlis
A community tab where members gather, share, and discuss episodes together.
03
Native iOS feel
Built for iOS 26 with Liquid Glass rendering and native bottom tab navigation.
04
Episode library
Browse, stream, and save episodes in a layout designed for daily listening.

05 Design approach

Arabic-first thinking. Bilingual considerations baked into the layout from the start. Native iOS over cross-platform compromise.

The visual language leans into the podcast's existing identity while giving it room to breathe in a product context.

06 Outcome

Shipped to TestFlight as a concept. Not a launched product. A demonstration of how the show's brand could live as a native experience.
