**Your patterns are already speaking. StillPoint helps you listen.** StillPoint is an I Ching oracle built for how people actually make decisions: by asking questions, noticing what resonates, and paying attention to the patterns that follow. Sometimes the most useful answers don't arrive directly. They appear sideways, through coincidence, timing, or repetition. StillPoint helps you notice those signals. **CAST WITH INTENTION** Type your question and watch six lines build one by one, solid and broken, stable and changing, with haptic feedback that makes each cast feel deliberate. StillPoint uses authentic yarrow-stalk probability weights, the same odds that have governed I Ching readings for millennia. **READ WITH DEPTH** Every reading includes the classical Legge translation: judgment, image, and changing line commentary. Then AI interpretation helps translate the ancient text into the language of your life. Export your reading to any external AI for a second perspective, then paste the response back to keep everything in one place. **JOURNAL WHAT RESONATES** Log synchronicities when they happen, those moments when something you asked about seems to echo back through the world in an unexpected way. Tag them, link them to readings, and rate their intensity. Keep a freeform journal for dreams, reflections, and deja vu moments alongside your readings in a unified timeline. **WATCH YOUR PATTERNS EMERGE** StillPoint surfaces what's hard to see in real time: the themes that repeat, the hexagrams that return, the questions that keep circling back. When enough moments accumulate, request an AI-synthesized narrative that weaves your patterns into a Jungian-informed reflection. **LISTEN TO YOUR PRACTICE** Over time, your readings, journal entries, and synchronicities form a pattern. StillPoint turns that pattern into a short guided reflection, spoken aloud in a calm voice. Press play and hear the themes of your own practice reflected back to you. The hexagrams that keep returning. The questions that keep circling. The signals you may not have noticed yet. A moment to step back and listen. **SENSE THE COLLECTIVE** After each reading, see how many others drew the same hexagram today and what themes are surfacing across the community. No usernames, no comments. Just quiet resonance. **CONNECT WITHOUT EXPOSING** Entangle with someone you trust. Share an invite code, and StillPoint compares your themes and timing without either person ever seeing the other's journal entries. Only patterns cross the boundary. **DESIGNED FOR STILLNESS** Warm parchment palette. Serif typography. No notifications begging for attention. No streaks, no gamification. StillPoint is built to be opened when you need perspective, not attention. In StillPoint, the oracle becomes something you practice. Ask questions, notice what echoes back, and slowly learn to recognize the patterns of your own life. --- **What's inside:** - 64 hexagrams with full classical text (Legge translation) - 384 individual line interpretations - AI-powered reading interpretation (Claude) - Synchronicity journal with tags and intensity tracking - Dream and deja vu logging subtypes - Freeform journal entries - Pattern dashboard: themes, hexagram frequency, intensity timeline - AI journal synthesis (Jungian-informed narrative) - Guided audio reflections from your patterns - Collective hexagram echoes (anonymous) - Entangle: private theme comparison with another person - Sign in with Apple for backup - No ads.
