The best khatm tracker is Khatmah, because it was built for exactly this job, it has been doing it since 2012, and it asks for nothing but an optional tip; Quranly is the strongest habit-builder and Niyat is the one that puts khatm tracking inside a full companion app.
Short answer: Khatmah if you want the job done and nothing else, because it has done only this since 2012 and charges nothing for it. Quranly if streaks and levels are what keep you reading. Niyat if you want khatm tracking to sit next to a dua library, prayer times and answers with sources. Al Quran by Greentech and the Quran.com app if you want the best reading experience and will track the khatm yourself. All figures checked on the US App Store on 14 September 2026.
We build Niyat, and the app we recommend first here is not ours.
Most Qur'an apps give you the text, a reciter and a bookmark. That is a reader. A khatm tracker does one extra thing: it turns "finish the Qur'an" into today's portion, and then tells you whether you did it.
The arithmetic is where people lose the habit. Thirty days is one juz a day, which is about twenty pages. A year is roughly two pages a day. People start in the first week of a resolution, pick thirty days, miss three days, fall nine juz behind and stop. A tracker that recalculates instead of shaming you is the difference between a finished khatm and another abandoned one.
Memorisation is a different problem again. If that is your goal, read Niyat vs Tarteel instead, because Tarteel listens while you recite and none of the apps here do that.

Khatmah has been on the App Store since July 2012 and holds 4.7 stars from 25,653 US ratings. Its own listing claims more than 30 million users. The pitch is exactly one sentence long: it helps you finish the Qur'an in the period you choose, gives you a daily wird according to that period, and reminds you each day. Around it sit prayer times, adhkar and qibla.
The part worth pausing on is the pricing. Its App Store page lists in-app purchases, but every one of them is labelled Developer Tip, from $19.99 to $299.99. There is no premium tier and nothing locked. An app that has done one job for fourteen years and never put it behind a paywall deserves to be named first in an article like this.
Where it stops: the interface is Arabic-first with English available, and it is not a general companion app.
Quranly holds 4.7 stars from 1,595 US ratings. It is a habit-builder rather than a khatm planner: you set a daily goal in verses, pages or minutes, it shows your progress visually, and its algorithm increases the target as you keep up. It tracks time, verses and hasanat, and runs on levels and streaks.
That is a genuinely different theory of how people finish the Qur'an. Khatmah says pick the end date and work backwards. Quranly says build the habit and the finish takes care of itself. Neither is wrong, and which works depends entirely on you.
Pricing: $4.99 monthly, $29.99 annually, and two lifetime tiers at $79.99 and $199.99. English only. Our Quranly alternative page covers the options if the price is the problem.
Niyat's listing describes reading the entire Qur'an with translation and transliteration, setting a khatm goal and completing it from beginning to end at your own pace with progress tracked along the way. Listen mode highlights each word as it is recited by your chosen reciter, which is useful if you read along with audio rather than in silence.
The argument for it over Khatmah is not the tracking, which Khatmah does at least as well. It is everything beside it: cited Q&A across the four Sunni schools, a dua library, prayer times, qibla, a tasbih counter and Prayer Lock, in English, Arabic, Bengali, Urdu and French.
The honest trade-off: $5.99 a month on iPhone, $4.99 on Android, or $34.99 a year on either after a trial. If a khatm tracker is genuinely all you want, Khatmah does it for nothing and we would rather say so.
4.8 stars from 19,062 US ratings. Its listing describes word-by-word meanings, more than 170 translations and tafsirs across 66 languages, and claims more than 8 million users. It is ad-free, and its only in-app purchases are donations, listed from $4.99 to $999.99, because Greentech Apps Foundation is a non-profit.
Where it stops: there is no khatm plan. You will be marking progress yourself. For understanding what you are reading rather than getting through it, nothing here is better.
4.9 stars from 33,080 US ratings, the highest score in this article. Its listing describes a beautiful, ad-free mushaf app from the makers of Quran.com, for reading, memorising and listening to reciters. Its App Store page lists no in-app purchases at all.
Where it stops: same as above. No khatm planner. If you want to read the Qur'an on a phone and nothing else, install this.
4.7 stars from 598,646 US ratings, the largest base of any app in this article. It has reading goals but not a true khatm planner, and the free tier carries ads. It lists a monthly subscription at $3.99 and yearly tiers at $29.99 and $34.99.
For the habit-tracking approach head to head, read Niyat vs Quranly. For memorisation, see Niyat vs Tarteel.
A khatm tracker splits the Qur'an into a daily portion so you finish the whole book in a period you choose, then follows how much you have actually read. A thirty-day khatm is one juz a day, which is the Ramadan pattern. A one-year khatm is roughly two pages a day. The tracker exists because the arithmetic is the part people get wrong and then abandon.
Khatmah. It has been on the App Store since 2012, holds 4.7 stars from 25,653 US ratings, and was built for this single job: pick how long you want to take, and it gives you a daily wird and reminds you. Its only in-app purchases are developer tips, so nothing is locked. Quranly is the better pick if you want streaks and levels, and Niyat if you want khatm tracking inside a full companion app.
Yes. Khatmah's only in-app purchases are optional developer tips ranging from $19.99 to $299.99, so the tracker itself is unlocked. Al Quran by Greentech Apps Foundation and the Quran.com app are both ad-free with donation-only or no in-app purchases, though neither is a khatm tracker as such. Quranly and Niyat both charge.
Whatever you will actually finish. One juz a day completes the Qur'an in thirty days and is the Ramadan rhythm. Two pages a day completes it in about a year. Most people who fail a khatm fail because they chose thirty days in a month that was not Ramadan. Pick the pace you can hold on a bad week, not a good one.
The Qur'an text and your progress do, in all of these apps, once the data has loaded. Streaming recitation does not, so download the reciter you want over wifi first. If you read on a commute with no signal, check that your app stores progress locally rather than only on a server.
Set a khatm goal and finish the Qur'an at your own pace, with translation, transliteration, word-by-word Listen mode and cited answers alongside.
