Bringing interactive stories to every Gulf brand.
We're building the Stories platform the Arabic-first web has been missing.
A Stories platform, built Arabic-first.
Gulf consumers live in social-native, interactive content. They tap through stories on Instagram and Snapchat every day — yet inside the apps they shop, bank, and book with, the experience is still static banners and flat carousels that don't match how people actually browse.
Global story tools exist, but they treat Arabic and RTL as an afterthought — leading to broken layouts, weak typography, and an experience that feels foreign to Gulf users from the first tap.
Made for the Gulf, end to end.
Beyond language, the tools miss what Gulf brands actually need — native payment gateways like Mada and STC Pay for shoppable stories, and data handling that aligns with regional regulations like PDPL. And they're priced for global enterprises, out of reach for the startups and SMBs driving the region's growth.
Highlit is built Arabic-first to close that gap: interactive stories with real RTL support, Gulf payment rails, privacy alignment, and pricing that works for growing brands. One SDK, designed from day one for the way the Gulf builds and buys.
