The Apps
Featured app
Radio Pro
One tap, and the Gulf's radio is playing. Radio Pro is live internet radio built Arabic-first: a curated Gulf and Arab catalog with source links, plus thousands of worldwide stations through a public directory. Browse Quran, news, talk, and music by country, genre, and language. Listen with background playback, Lock Screen controls, Control Center, AirPlay 2, and CarPlay — no account or sign-up. The free plan shows app banner ads; Pro removes those banners while subscribed. The app adds no audio ads, but broadcasters may include their own advertising.

About Me
I'm Hamam Alabdulla, an independent developer from Qatar. Since 2024 I've designed, built, and shipped 55 apps end-to-end — games, education, marketplaces, and everyday tools — every one of them bilingual in Arabic and English. What drives me is simple: building things people in the Gulf actually use.
How I see a device
I'm drawn to the unusual projects — the ones that use a device to its full potential.
- A camera isn't only for photos; it's an optical sensor.
- A speaker isn't only for music; it's a programmable acoustic signal generator.
- A microphone is a pressure-wave sensor.
- An accelerometer is a motion and vibration detector.
- A flashlight isn't only a torch; it's a light transmitter.
- Bluetooth isn't only for headphones; it's a radio — a mesh network waiting to happen.
- A magnetometer isn't only a compass; it's a magnetic-field sensor.
And the gyroscope, barometer, GPS, UWB, NFC, LiDAR, the light and proximity sensors, and the haptic engine — every one an instrument.
