Frequently asked
Tap the ⊕ button in the middle of the tab bar, search for your card, choose upright or reversed, and add a note if something stirred. Tap "Save to ledger ✦" and you're done — it takes about ten seconds. You can also draw a card straight from the in-app deck if yours isn't nearby.
Every one of the 78 cards carries gentle keyword hints for both upright and reversed orientations, right where you write. They're composed on-device from the card's traditional keywords, so they work offline — and they nudge you toward your own reflection rather than predicting anything for you.
By default your ledger lives entirely on your device — no account needed. If you'd like it everywhere, you can turn on Sync to Cloud in Settings and sign in with email and password; entries then sync automatically, and only you can see your own rows. Sync is always optional and off until you enable it.
Open any spread and tap "↥ Export spread". Choose a canvas — Post 1:1, Story 9:16, or Journal PDF — toggle notes, card images, and the date, then tap "Render & share ↥" to send it anywhere through the iOS share sheet.
Arcana sends at most one gentle reminder a day — "Pull tonight's card before the day slips away." You choose the time in Settings (9:00 PM by default), and you can switch it off any time. That's how streaks survive busy weeks.
Settings → "Erase journal & start fresh" clears every entry on your device. If you use sync, deleting entries removes them from your synced account too, and you can sign out at any time. Nothing is kept that you can't see in your own ledger.
The classic Rider–Waite–Smith deck, illustrated by Pamela Colman Smith in 1909 and now in the public domain. Card images stream from Wikimedia Commons and are cached on your device; if you're offline, Arcana shows a cosmic card face instead.
Yes — a "Today's card" home-screen widget showing your daily pull and streak, and a quiet crescent-moon lock-screen widget that fills in once today's card is in the ledger. Both tap through straight to logging or your journal.
