Reveal the code you were born with. Powered by the Gene Keys™, My Human Code turns your birth chart into a journey you walk, and keeps a journal of your dreams, thoughts and moods beside it, with an inner voice that remembers all of it. Three thousand years ago the I Ching described human nature in 64 patterns. The Gene Keys™ show how the moment and place of your birth mark four of them as yours. My Human Code turns that map into a place you can walk. REVEAL YOUR CODE Enter your birth date, time and place once and your Hologenetic Profile is calculated, the same calculation behind the Gene Keys website. Four worlds open from it: Life's Work, Evolution, Radiance and Purpose, built from the keys your own chart holds, so nobody walks quite the same journey. Your profile and the first level of the game are free. Choose one of nine characters and follow a path through forest and river, a winter mountain, islands above the clouds and a jungle lit from within. Walk, jump, duck and gather fragments of light at an easy, steady or demanding pace. Gather a world's fragments and its sigil opens: the Shadow, Gift and Siddhi of your key, written for your chart, followed by Richard Rudd's recorded story for that key. Each key closes with a short contemplation you play rather than read. The game is powered by the Gene Keys™, licensed in partnership with Gene Keys Ltd. KIN Your family, friends and acquaintances, each in their own room, each seeing only what you choose to share. On a heavy day, let them know. They answer with a heart or a line in the voice of their own nature. Send love any day. Choose one practice a week to do together. YOUR ROUTINE Three small practices a day, planned from how your week went, with your kin practices in the same list. Seven Mornings: one practice, seven days in a row. Letters to your future self, sealed until a morning you choose. DREAMS, THOUGHTS AND MOODS Record dreams by voice or text and watch them become vivid illustrations while the patterns beneath are gently drawn out. Every reading is offered, never declared. Move from overthinking to clarity with guided reflection, and track emotional shifts to uncover the triggers and themes you might not notice alone. INNER VOICE A voice that remembers: your dreams, your moods, your routine and the parts of your code you have unlocked. Talk by text or by voice. It listens, waits through your pauses, and answers in a few words. CALM Mind Reset meditations for your current state, Mind Booster readings for your day, and Sleep Mode's theta wave soundscapes with whispered affirmations drawn from your own reflections. Stories, readings and meditations are read aloud, each word lit as it is spoken, in English and Spanish. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your dreams, emotions and reflections are encrypted and always yours, and you decide what your kin see, room by room. Formerly MindFlow: same app, same account, same subscription. SUBSCRIPTION Start with a free 7-day trial, then Premium is $9.99 per month or $74.99 per year. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. Premium renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and renewal is charged within the 24 hours before it ends. Manage or cancel in your Apple ID account settings. Premium unlocks: • The whole game: all four worlds, every story and every contemplation • Dreams and thoughts decoded, with illustrated stories • Inner Voice, in writing and by voice • Mind Booster, Mind Reset and Sleep Mode ABOUT THE GENE KEYS™ A contemplative system for self-reflection created by Richard Rudd, exploring 64 archetypes through their Shadow, Gift and Siddhi. The words you read on your journey are theirs. This is an invitation to contemplation, not advice, and not a substitute for professional guidance of any kind.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Wysa at free with in-app purchases against My Human Code's subscription. Wysa also leads on ratings volume (25K vs 15). My Human Code's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 87%). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Wysa sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and My Human Code sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Wysa against 4.9 for My Human Code.

Written reviews are what separate them: 87% of Wysa's written reviews are positive against 100% of My Human Code's.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Wysa ships an update every 11 days, My Human Code weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
