Thirty days. One insight each morning, one small action to carry through the day. Five minutes, not fifty. Karma is not about punishment or reward. It's about the patterns you build without noticing โ and the fact that you can choose the next one on purpose. THE DAILY LOOP Each day gives you one idea worth sitting with and one action small enough that you'll actually do it. Tick it off, keep your streak, and watch thirty days add up into something you can see. GUIDED PRACTICE, NOT JUST INSTRUCTIONS Half the days ask for a real practice โ five minutes of breathing, ten minutes sitting, a page of writing. Karma runs them with you: a breathing ring, a countdown, a place to write. THE KARMA ORACLE Describe something you did. Karma reads it back to you through one of six ethical frameworks โ Buddhism, Hinduism, Stoicism, Utilitarianism, Deontology or Secular Humanism โ and tells you what it weighed, what it set in motion, and what to do next. It judges the action, never you. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT On supported iPhones the oracle runs entirely on your device. Nothing you write leaves your phone, and it works in airplane mode. You can lock it to on-device only in Settings, and the app will use its built-in offline guide rather than ever touching the network. A JOURNAL THAT'S ACTUALLY YOURS Write a reflection when you finish a day โ by typing, or by speaking it. Everything is searchable, kept on your device, and never uploaded. WHEN LIFE GETS IN THE WAY Miss a day and you can repair it: one free repair a week. Streaks are worth keeping, but not worth lying about โ repaired days are marked, and never counted as work you didn't do. ALWAYS WITH YOU Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets show today's action and your streak. A Control Centre button and Siri let you log a day in one tap, without opening the app. KARMA PLUS โ ONE-TIME PURCHASE Everything above is free, forever. Karma Plus is a single purchase โ not a subscription โ that adds: โข The Full Council: one action, all six frameworks at once, with a map of where they agree and where they part ways โข Four more 30-day journeys: Anger & Reactivity, Speech, Letting Go, Forgiveness โข The Monthly Karma Report: a written reading of your own patterns, yours to export โข Voice journaling, transcribed on-device โข No ads, ever again WHAT KARMA ISN'T It is not therapy, and it does not diagnose anything. It is a structured way to look at your own behaviour honestly, thirty days at a time.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: AiVanse at none against Karma's shown. AiVanse also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 4 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
