FAQ

Every draw pulls from your phone's actual sensors in that moment — the time of day, the lunar phase, barometric pressure, and the direction you're facing. Different concepts lean on different combinations of these. Nothing about the draw is manual or user-selected.

No. Hold whatever's on your mind — a specific question, a general feeling, or nothing articulated at all. The app has no way to see or store what you're asking; it only responds to the moment you draw in.

Not directly. The sensors it reads change on their own — the hour passes, the moon moves through its phase, pressure shifts with weather, direction changes as you turn — but there's no way to select or filter for a particular concept.

Every concept has two faces. Arriving describes a condition moving toward you; Departing describes one already leaving. Which face you get is decided by the same draw that selects the concept.

Hold your question, flip the phone face-down, keep it there until you feel a small tap, then flip it back over.

Yes. Tap back to the home screen, or flip face-down again straight from the result screen to ask another question.

No. There's no journal, no history, no log of past questions or results. Each reading exists only while you're looking at it.

Yes — the Codex lets you browse every axis and concept in the corpus at any time, independent of drawing.

No settings, no onboarding beyond a single instruction on the opening screen: turn over to draw.

Yes, for 7 days — full corpus, nothing held back. After the trial, a one-time payment of $3.99 unlocks it permanently.

No. It's a single one-time purchase. No recurring billing, ever.

No account, no sign-in, no profile.

No. No accounts, no analytics, no cloud sync. Nothing about your use of the app is collected or transmitted anywhere.

One of eight underlying tensions the corpus is organized around — pairs of opposing states, like Concealment and Exposure, or Severance and Binding.

Each axis has two poles, its two opposing ends. Most concepts lean toward one pole or the other.

Each axis also has one concept that sits at the exact center, between its two poles, rather than leaning toward either. It's marked with a ✦ on the result screen instead of a position dot.

The two faces every concept can show — a condition moving toward you (Arriving), or one already moving away (Departing).
