LORE — Discover the story you've been living. You're not random. You're a character. LORE turns your face, your timing, and your truth into a personalized mythology — a deck of 27 tarot-style portraits that reveal who you are, who you've been, and who you're becoming. Take one selfie. Get pulled into a world built around you. YOUR ARCHETYPE Every person carries one of five core archetypes — The Sovereign, The Ronin, The Oracle, The Outlaw, The Muse. LORE reads yours through a guided onboarding and renders it back to you in a way no quiz, no horoscope, no personality test ever has: as art that looks like you. 27 CARDS. ONE DECK. ALL YOU. Every card in your collection is a tarot-style portrait of you, rendered through the lens of a different psychological moment: • Identity — Prime Portrait. Shadow Self. The Mask. Inner Child. Future Self. • Cinematic — Origin Story. Rising Action. The Standoff. The Fall. Redemption. Final Act. • Moods — Noir. Golden Hour. Neon. Storm. Silence. Fever Dream. • Arcana — The Tower. The Star. The Moon. Death. The Fool. The Devil. • Mirrors — The Rival. The Mentor. The Lover. The Throne. The Weapon. Each card is a different angle on the same story: yours. DAILY READINGS Wake up to a reading written for your archetype, every day. Not generic horoscope nonsense — sharp, specific, sometimes uncomfortably accurate. TALK TO SAGE Sage is your archetype's inner voice — an AI that knows your story, your flaws, your trajectory. Ask it anything. About your life, your fears, the decision you've been avoiding. Sage answers in your voice, not a chatbot's. A DECK YOU CAN SHARE Your cards are made to be shared. Pull "The Tower" and the world sees what you're tearing down. Pull "The Lover" and the world sees what draws people in. This is identity as art. SUBSCRIPTION REQUIRED A subscription is required to generate portraits, unlock readings, and chat with Sage. Subscriptions auto-renew until cancelled in your Apple ID settings. PRIVACY-FIRST Your selfie is used only to generate your cards. We don't sell data. We don't train on your face. Your story belongs to you. You can delete your account and all associated data from Settings at any time. WHAT YOU GET • A personalized archetype reading • 27 unique tarot-style portraits of you • Daily archetype readings • Unlimited conversations with Sage • A growing deck that evolves as you do Some apps try to predict you. LORE shows you who you already are. Pull your first card. See what you've been hiding from yourself.
