Founder of Bithrah Tech

Bithrah Tech started in Riyadh on one idea: a studio is known by what it ships, not by what it promises. Under that name, Candles reached the App Store in June 2026, and NiHao followed forty-three days later, both under the same publisher.

Alongside the studio’s own products, he builds operating systems that run inside client businesses under their own names: the service quality system at King Abdullah Financial District, the online store migration system for Athar Ads, and the Shafaq digital studio.

The work is Arabic-first, and ships in three languages when the product calls for it.

What he built

Shipped products and systems running now. Every title opens the product itself.

The name

He is known as Ali Alkinani, and his family name on official papers is Ali Alshehri. In Arabic it is written علي الكناني or علي الشهري.

Both forms refer to one person: the founder of Bithrah Tech in Riyadh.
