## What is Arcana?

Arcana is where you learn to practice real magic: working with mind, symbol, and correspondence to create what you desire — in real life.

Name one desire and give it a moon — thirty days of your attention. Each day is walked in three movements, and a spiral fills from its core as you go: admit the desire fully — the wanting is the instruction; have faith and make yourself the one it can arrive to — posture, breath, clothes; then live from that point, in flow, as one who has already received.

Old magic kept whole libraries of correspondences — colors, metals, stones, words, days. Arcana reads them each morning and distills one piece of advice you can actually carry: wear this, say this, before noon. Add your birth sky in Settings and the counsel is shaped to your own placements. Drawn to dreams? Advanced techniques opens Dream work — advice for your dream self and a question for tonight.

When something heavy lands — sadness, anger, a setback — the Transform room turns it into something real: a song, a workout, a room set right. Nothing you feel is waste.

Every day you practice is kept in your Journal. Over a moon, that record becomes something rare — proof, in your own words, that your magic works.

Arcana is private by architecture. Everything you write stays on your phone: no account, no cloud, no analytics. Not even those who built it can read a word. The daily counsel travels as anonymous symbol-words only — described plainly in the app and in our privacy policy — and offline the app speaks from its own library.

Free — the whole daily practice, for everyone, always.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.3.11 — 2026-09-28

Settings sits in the foot of Today, beside Learn, Journal and Circle.

The constellation at the start is redrawn: the sky is the whole background, every name the same distance from its star, a dark glow under the words.

The Journal lines up: one left edge for every marked row, the same gap after every mark, the symbols on the page's edge.

The desire room opens with a whisper, and the embody room has one more line. The Circle's count is different phones that opened the app today, on your own clock.

If part of the wizard's answer fails, Arcana now repairs that part instead of starting the whole answer over.

### 1.3.10 — 2026-09-19

Today is redrawn. The star at the top opens Settings. The three practices, Shift, Resonate and Alchemize, stand as symbols over their names, and the one to do next is gold. The moon line shows the sign the Moon is in today. Learn, Journal and Circle sit in the foot.

Circle is new: how many magicians are working tonight, a magician added by a link or a QR code, and the next full moon with one line on what it favours. Pick friends and work toward it together: they join, and the card shows the quality, what it wears, the days left and the moonrise where you are.

A glyph made or turned again from now on draws its letters closer together, so it reads as a mark rather than a word. Your glyph as it is stays as it is.

### 1.3.9 — 2026-09-16

The app is now called Arcana: Magic.

The birth date at the start is the phone's own date wheel, so there is no order to get wrong. A new page at the start shows the constellation of practices Arcana teaches. The day's picture is prepared before the wizard's room opens and is never thrown away when it is slow. The first advice asks a second time when the phone refuses to send the call.

For Guild members: the wizard's advice when you build your own practice is now one sentence, and the personal reading in the astrology room says why.

### 1.3.8 — 2026-09-11

Tap a course you cannot open yet and it now tells you why — whether it wants a Guild membership, whether Arcana 101 comes first, or both. Before, it only showed you the price.

In Magical resonance the piece the wizard names is now tappable: one tap takes it. The words there are plainer too — the wizard's pick is the name alone, and each stone says what it is for in ordinary words. The working's door reads Use it today. Sigil magic ends on Sealed.

### 1.3.7 — 2026-09-09

For the Guild: Sigil magic, a technique that guides your hands one movement at a time. Your personal read in the sky room, from your three signs. And in Magical resonance, when you make one of your own, Get advice: the wizard names a piece for each shelf and says where the tradition says so, with the source beside each claim.

Onboarding's colour step now leans toward the colour that fits your qualities. The Guild offer shows its prices whole. The weekday reads in your language.
