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.

If a correction still fails, the phone says which way it failed, in a fixed word, so it can be fixed. The phone now also sends small anonymous usage lines — that a step at the start, a card over Today or a course page was reached — as fixed words from a list, never what you wrote or chose, never which phone. The privacy text describes it. ### 1.3.13 — 2026-10-07 Once a day, when you open Arcana, your phone sends one line saying that a phone opened. That line now also says which day of use it is for your phone — the first, the seventh, past the thirtieth — and never which phone. It helps us see whether people come back. The privacy text in Clarity describes it. ### 1.3.12 — 2026-10-06 The app is now called Arcana: Real Magic. The wizard's advice arrives on more mornings. When its answer offered a choice of actions instead of one, Arcana used to show a ready-made practice that day. It now repairs the answer. Birth place: you can type the country after the town, like "Paris, France". When the list has no match, the screen points at the look-up row. ### 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. ## Apps similar to Arcana | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Occultism](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/occultism/id6804613269) | — | $2.99 | Lifestyle | | [Daily Deen Companion](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/daily-deen-companion/id6794790204) | — | Free | Lifestyle | | [Arcana: The Decider](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/arcana-the-decider/id6782656633) | — | Free | Lifestyle | | [Kandili - Orthodox Companion](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/kandili-orthodox-companion/id6783808674) | 1.0 (1) | Free | Lifestyle | | [Daily Gita Shlokas](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/daily-gita-shlokas/id6790830896) | — | Free | Lifestyle | | [Christian Cabala: Lux Crucis](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/christian-cabala-lux-crucis/id6783032523) | 5.0 (1) | Free | Lifestyle | ## More apps by Mattis Erngren - [The Lightly App](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/the-lightly-app/id6815233647) All apps by Mattis Erngren: https://appshunter.io/developer/6791719421 ## Related topics [magick](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/magick) · [the magic of geomancy](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/the-magic-of-geomancy) · [cognito magic](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/cognito-magic) · [iarvel magic](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/iarvel-magic) · [magic planning](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/magic-planning) · [inject magic](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/inject-magic) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
