Yod — discover your cosmic twin. Yod uses astrology to connect you with the people who share your exact place in the sky. Enter your birth date, time, and location, and Yod calculates your three core signs — sun, moon, and rising. From there, it quietly scans for nearby users who share yours. When a cosmic twin is close, you'll get a notification. No swiping. No searching. Just proximity and the stars doing the work. Find Your Cosmic Twins Your sun sign reflects your core identity. Your moon sign reveals your emotional nature. Your rising sign shapes how the world sees you. Most people share one of these with you — but finding someone who shares all three is rare. Yod is built to find exactly those people. When someone with your identical astrological signature is nearby, Yod lets you know so you can connect with the people the cosmos says are most like you. Explore Love Matches Not every meaningful connection is a mirror — some signs are better as complements. If you're single, Yod surfaces romantically compatible users nearby based on how your sun, moon, and rising signs interact with theirs. Each love match comes with a compatibility score so you can see how your stars align. It's astrology-driven dating that goes deeper than a sun sign horoscope. Join Your Twin Community Yod isn't just about finding matches — it's about building a community around them. Your social feed is filtered to show posts only from your cosmic twins. Share thoughts, comment, upvote, and engage with people who share your exact astrological blueprint. It's a space built around genuine cosmic connection, not algorithms or follower counts. Your Astrological Identity Don't know your signs? No problem. Yod calculates them for you using your birth details and the Swiss Ephemeris — the same reference used by professional astrologers worldwide. Already know your signs? You can enter them manually and skip straight to matching. Built for Privacy Yod uses background location to make sure you never miss a match, but you're always in control. Turn matching on or off whenever you want. Block or report users at any time. Your location is used for matching — never shared with other users.

About Arooda: Arooda is a self-reflection and behavioral coaching app that is anchored in the ancient wisdom of astrology. Unlike the plethora of astrology apps, Arooda gives users practical insights to navigate life's daily challenges. In return, Arooda asks users to report how they feel which is incorporated in making Arooda's insights even more relevant and actionable for the user. This feedback loop creates a richer and highly relevant experience for the user. Arooda leverages a purpose-built Knowledge Base to ensure that its responses are astrologically correct and not hallucinated by the LLM. It took us 3 years to build this Knowledge Base which forms the base Context as well as the Guardrails for the AI. Arooda always refers back to this user-specific knowledge base to repond to a user. This is the crux of the personalization behind Arooda. Arooda is organized as a highly intuitive app. 1. Sign-Up The User goes through a simple onboarding flow which includes reporting their Mood for the frist time and starting the virtuous cycle of addressing the user's current situation. 2. Insights The User is always welcomed to the "Insights" screen that gives them a high-level view of which areas of life are good (green) and which require attention (amber or red). The user may also understand which Planets are causing concern and click "Ask Arooda about this" to begin a rich chat experience. 3. Chat Users can drill down into a particular area of life and get advise on how to moderate their behavior during the concerning time period. The Knowledge Base has been populated with time-tested behavioral actions that can improve the user's emotion and give them hope. 4. Predisposition Survey User can access a highly personalized survey of likely behavioral predispositions from the "Profile" page. When that user's planets go through certain tricky time periods ehich are calculated by Arooda's AI engine, those predispositions are highly likely to occur. Users are warned 2 days before that event is likely and can therefore be 'primed' mentally to overcome that tricky period.
