ioda is a daily game for self-discovery. Five minutes a day, one honest question, and a profile of you, the Mirror, that gets sharper every time you show up. Most personality tests give you a four-letter label and call it done. ioda doesn't. ioda is built on 7 schools of psychology, Attachment Theory, Internal Family Systems, Polyvagal Theory, Gestalt, Characterology, Jungian Archetypes, and Family Systems, translated out of jargon and into a daily game you'll actually want to play. You answer one question at a time. You watch your Mirror evolve. You explore four arenas of your life, Love, Self, Bonds, and Work or School. The longer you play, the more honest the picture becomes. WHAT YOU GET • An Animal Guide that captures who you are right now, your archetype, your strengths, your patterns • A Mirror profile that compounds with every session; keywords, archetypes, superpowers, and the quiet beliefs you've been carrying • Insights worth screenshotting, the kind of sentence you read twice and then send to a friend • Four chapters of your life to explore at your own pace: Love, Self, Bonds, Work / School • A path to walk down; chapters, nodes, and small wins that pace your journey • Beautiful share cards so you can post your discoveries; or keep them private WHY IT'S DIFFERENT ioda is not astrology. It is not a clinical assessment. It is not a chatbot pretending to be a therapist. It's a quiet, designed, daily ritual that uses real psychology to help you notice what you usually look past; the patterns in how you love, the parts of you that protect each other, the archetypes you keep playing, the inheritance you didn't choose. Every prompt is grounded in published psychological frameworks and reviewed by qualified psychologists. We use AI to make the experience adaptive and personal; never to diagnose, treat, or replace professional care. A NOTE ON CARE ioda is a tool for self-knowledge, not a substitute for mental health care. If you are in crisis, please reach out to a qualified professional or a crisis line in your country. Built with psychologists. Not horoscopes. Made with care by IODA Inc. Questions, feedback, or ideas: hello@ioda.pro
