Intua — Track Your Intuition. Reveal Your Patterns. Intua is a calm, beautifully designed space to record intuitive moments and understand how your inner signals appear in everyday life. Whether it is a quiet nudge, a strong feeling, or a repeating sign, Intua helps you notice what your intuition is telling you and how often it shows up. Inspired by a mystical and analytical, intuitive friend named Joshua—whose grounded wisdom sparked the idea of honoring intuition with structure—Intua blends introspection with clarity. The name itself was born from those conversations: a reminder that intuition can be both mystical and measurable when we choose to notice it. With simple logging, a dark cosmic aesthetic, and meaningful insight visualizations, Intua turns your intuition into something you can see, trust, and reflect on. Log Your Intuitive Moments Capture intuition quickly and naturally using three customizable types: Whisper, Signal, and Echo. Each entry can include what you felt, who or what it was about, the date of the experience, and the moon phase at that time. Intua is built to make tracking effortless so you can stay connected to your inner world without distraction. Discover Meaningful Patterns Your intuition has rhythms. Intua helps you recognize them through clear, elegant insights. Explore which types of intuition you use most, how your intuition aligns with moon phases, your weekly summaries, your longest and current streaks, your most active days, and a sparkline showing your recent activity. These visual cues help you understand the deeper patterns behind your intuitive experiences. Moon-Phase Insight Intua automatically records the moon phase for every entry. See which phases tend to amplify your intuition and which ones feel quieter or more reflective. Calendar View View intuition moments across the month and revisit entries with ease. Watch your overall intuition rhythm unfold over time. Designed for Calm and Clarity Intua’s dark, moody, cerulean-accented design creates a peaceful space for reflection. The interface is minimal, modern, and intentionally quiet—supporting focus without noise. Intua Pro — Optional One-Time Unlock Try Intua free with limited entries. Upgrade once to unlock the full experience, including unlimited logs, unlimited categories, the full Trends dashboard, moon-phase analysis, streaks, weekly insights, and all future premium features. One purchase unlocks everything. Start Noticing Your Inner Pattern When your intuition is speaking. Intua helps you listen.
