Every single day, you make thousands of decisions on autopilot. Most are shaped by invisible patterns you've never questioned. What if you could see those patterns? MindType is not a personality test. It's a decision mirror. Through short, high-stakes game theory scenarios, MindType reveals how you actually think under pressure — not what you believe about yourself. DAILY DILEMMA — YOUR 15-SECOND RITUAL One dilemma. One binary choice. Every single day. No lengthy sessions — just 15 seconds that reveal your decision reflex. See how the world decided. Build your streak. It's the Wordle of self-discovery. "Today's dilemma: 71% chose to defect. Did you?" START WITH THE DECISION TYPE TEST New: a 12-question Decision Type Test builds your first decision profile in minutes — complete with a confidence score that tells you how solid it is. Then the real experiment begins. TEST VS. YOUR DECISIONS Most apps stop at the quiz. MindType checks the quiz against reality. Every week, your profile is validated against the decisions you actually made in the games. Did your choices confirm your type — or expose it? Either way, your profile evolves. (Deep validation reports are part of Premium.) WHAT YOU'LL DISCOVER Your Evolving Decision Archetype Are you a Strategist who calculates every move? An Empath who leads with compassion? A Maverick who thrives in chaos? Here's the twist — your archetype isn't a label. It evolves. Strategist → Cold Strategist → Master Strategist. Empath → Idealist → Moral Anchor. Your decisions unlock new evolution tiers, new badges, and deeper self-understanding. Share your evolution and compare with friends. Your Hidden Cognitive Biases Framing effect. Anchoring. Loss aversion. MindType detects the biases quietly steering your choices — and shows you exactly which scenarios exposed them. 34 DECISION GAMES Trust dilemmas, moral trade-offs, risk gambles, negotiation standoffs — 34 short scenario games built on real game theory and behavioral psychology. MINDTYPE PREMIUM Turn the daily dilemma into a daily ritual: Premium unlocks deep analysis of every decision, full bias reports, weekly Test vs. Decisions validation details, and complete archetype evolution paths. Your personality is what you say. Your MindType is what you choose. Download MindType — and meet the person who actually makes your decisions. --- Terms of Use (EULA): https://umay.dev/mindtype-terms-of-use.html Privacy Policy: https://umay.dev/mindtype-privacy-policy.html

My Star Mate is a living map of the sky with real people in it. A complete ephemeris, built from the same orbital data astronomers use, runs entirely on your device. It computes your birth chart, tonight's actual sky, and the geometry between you and anyone you care about. No canned readings, no AI, no borrowed engine. Everything is calculated, and everything is explained. TONIGHT'S SKY, WITH PEOPLE IN IT Open the app to the real sky overhead. Ten people appear each night as stars, placed where their charts actually touch yours. Read someone's full chart, keep their star, or let them set with the night. A new sky rises every day. SEARCH BY THE SKY Ask questions no other app can answer. Who has Venus in Scorpio? Whose Mars makes a trine to my natal Venus? The Compass searches real members by placement and by aspect. And with just a birthday, Check Anyone gives you a complete relationship reading for anyone in your life: a partner, a parent, a friend, a coworker. A VERDICT WITH A RECEIPT The compatibility engine judges two charts the way a working astrologer would. It prices every contact by classical condition: sect, essential dignity, mutual reception, retrogrades, and the receiving chart's own capacity, so the same contact lands differently on different people. It reads geometry most professional software never surfaces: declination parallels, antiscia mirrors, the composite chart of the relationship itself, the Vertex and Sun/Moon midpoint axes, minor harmonics. Then it shows you the reasons in plain language. The scale is calibrated against thousands of computed pairings, so a high score is rare because it is real. A separate friendship lens reads the same two charts by different rules, because a lasting friendship is not a romance with the volume turned down. YOUR CHART, ALL THE WAY DOWN Your natal chart with its full written reading. Live transits and a daily note composed from the actual astronomical day: eclipses from our own eclipse engine, stations, lunations, exact contacts to your chart. Progressions, profections, Arabic Lots, fixed stars, asteroids, house rulers, and an eclipse calendar computed from lunar theory. FOUR SYSTEMS, ONE ENGINE The tropical chart. A full sidereal chart with your choice of Lahiri or Fagan-Bradley ayanamsa. A complete numerology reading built from your birth name and date. And the relational readings between two people. Each is its own hand-built engine with its own hand-written interpretations: more than five megabytes of original prose, selected by computed geometry, never generated. A FEED PAGED BY MOONS Share thoughts with your circle under a timeline organized by lunar months. Every post carries the computed sky of the moment it was written, and on new and full moon days the feed opens with a prompt tied to where that lunation falls in your own chart. HONEST BY DESIGN No fortune telling and no predictions. The writing describes computed structure and states its own limits: anything that depends on an exact birth time says so, and steps back when the time is unknown rather than guessing. Turn on Airplane Mode and your chart, transits, and readings keep working, because the astronomy never touches the network. Some features are part of the Cosmic membership. The sky is free. Your chart is already written. Come meet the people standing under it.
