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. Privacy Policy: https://arcana.lightly.io/privacy Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Arcana at every 2 days against DuaPlayer's every 5 days. DuaPlayer's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
