Sometimes we don't need long answers. Sometimes a new thought is enough, a different perspective, a small impulse that makes us pause. 78 Arc is tarot as a mirror, not fortune-telling. You don't draw a finished answer, you draw an impulse: the card opens a perspective from its own direction and hands you a question to follow yourself. 78 Arc doesn't want to make your decisions for you or tell you how to live your life. The app sees itself as an invitation: to pause, to discover new angles, and to listen to your own inner voice. No two draws look alike: every card receives its own unique play of color the moment you draw it. WHAT MAKES 78 ARC DIFFERENT • More impulse than answer: every draw leads to a new question, not a verdict. • All 78 cards, fully written: major and minor arcana, each with a reflective question and a reading. • A deep interpretation matrix: go further per card through archetype, element, astrology, Kabbalah, I Ching, runes and pictorial symbolism. • Affinities: every card shows its echoes in other wisdom traditions · a rune, an I Ching hexagram, a path of the Kabbalah, its place in the sky. The same question, asked by other voices. • Guided journeys: the Fool's Journey and the Journey of the Elements place each card in a larger arc. • Spreads: single card, three-card and five-card, plus free browsing through all arcana and focus questions for the day. • Your own history: your draws stay traceable. • Unique color worlds: every card gets a procedurally generated background, no two look alike. Your question. Your intuition. Your impulse. PRIVATE AND OFFLINE 78 Arc is offline-first and data-minimal. Your draws, settings and history stay exclusively on your device.
