Multiverse Journal
Read full descriptionHide full description
**For dreamers. One of a kind.** Multiverse Journal isn’t just another diary app. It’s the only journal built around **universes**: separate worlds or timelines where you write. Each universe has its own name, date, and feel. Your entries live inside the universe you choose—so you can keep real life, fiction, past lives, or future worlds clearly apart, all in one place. **What makes it different** • **Universes, not folders.** Create as many universes as you want (e.g. “2077”, “Medieval”, “My actual life”). Each has its own calendar date and style, so you’re not just tagging—you’re choosing *where* this entry belongs. • **One timeline, many worlds.** The **Multiverse** view shows recent entries from every universe in one feed. Jump between worlds without losing the big picture. • **Built for story and reflection.** Add mood, goals or next steps, tags, and custom prompts. Attach photos, voice notes, sketches, and links. Optional PIN lock keeps your worlds private. **Who it’s for** Writers. World-builders. Anyone who dreams in more than one “reality.” If you’ve ever wanted one journal that can hold your real life and your imagined worlds without mixing them up—this is it. **Start writing across universes.**

Misunderstood Deities is a card draw app for anyone who has felt labeled, reduced, or pushed into a costume that never fit. Sixty guardian figures from traditions across the world, each one introduced through the misreading history gave them and the teaching they were carrying the whole time. Every card includes a familiar twin, a named figure from closer to home, so the bridge back is short. No streaks, no push notifications, no data collection. Free to draw every card. A portion of optional gratitude jar support goes to the Parliament of the World's Religions. WHAT YOU GET Sixty deities from thirteen traditions including Hindu, Greek, Egyptian, Norse, Celtic, Japanese, Yoruba, Mesopotamian, Slavic, Aztec, Andean, Afro Brazilian, and Alpine folk. Yamaraj, Kali, Hecate, Hades, Loki, Baba Yaga, Anubis, Lilith, Ereshkigal, Fenrir, Sekhmet, Eshu, Oya, Mictlantecuhtli, Xolotl, Krampus, and more. Each one written with scholarly sources cited. HOW IT WORKS One sacred draw per day. The rest of the time, browse the Field Guide. Bookmark the ones you want to sit with. Every entry carries the reframe, the teaching, the reflection, the source, and the familiar twin. WHAT YOU WILL NOT FIND No streaks. No push notifications. No dark patterns. No data collection. No ads. No retention hooks. Just the deities, as scholarship actually describes them, for people who got taught the cartoon version and want the real one. THE GRATITUDE JAR Four optional tiers. Offering, Garland, Temple, Pilgrimage. Tips only. Nothing is locked behind them. A portion goes to the Parliament of the World's Religions, an organization that has gathered leaders from living traditions since 1893 to practice the kind of listening this app is trying to point at. A note from Drew: I am not a scholar. I am a person who reads, and who asked actual scholars and practitioners to check my work. If I got something wrong in your tradition, please write me. I would rather fix it than be right.
