Some things only become clear when you write them down. july is a guided journal for people who want to understand themselves – the patterns you repeat, the emotions you push away, the rules you learned before you had words for them. HOW IT WORKS Every day, july picks a small set of prompts for you, based on what you chose to explore. Some are gentle. Some go deep. One honest sentence is enough to start. When you finish writing, july can ask follow-up questions about what you just wrote – the kind of questions a good therapist or a very honest friend would ask. You don't have to answer them. But when you do, something shifts. Keep writing on the same prompt and july traces your patterns across entries: what's changed, what keeps repeating, and what you might not see yet. WHAT'S INSIDE - 120+ guided prompts across 8 themes: Inner Child, Relationships, Shame & Self-Worth, Anger & Boundaries, Fear & Avoidance, People-Pleasing, Family Patterns, Forgiveness - AI follow-up questions tailored to every entry - Pattern analysis across your reflections - Mood tracking and streaks without the guilt - Voice journaling – speak instead of type - Rooted in shadow work and inner child work – no jargon required STORED ON THIS DEVICE ONLY Your journal is saved locally, on your phone. No account, no sign-up, no email. Face ID lock built in. Start with one prompt tonight. See what becomes clear.

About

Human Design Core

Features
Read full description

You were born with a design. This app reads it. Human Design is a system that maps your birth moment onto a chart called the Bodygraph — a blend of astrology, the I Ching, and a handful of other older maps. Human Design Core turns your birth date, time, and place into that chart with real astronomical precision, then gives you a clear, unhurried way to read it. No jargon wall, no purple mysticism. Just your chart, laid open. YOUR CHART Enter your birth data and get your full Bodygraph in seconds. See your Type and Strategy, your Authority, your Profile, your defined and open Centers, and the Channels and Gates that connect them. Each part is explained on its own terms — skim the whole, then tap into any piece for the depth. The reading opens further as your membership does, from a foundation everyone can read to the fine detail of every gate and variable. Save the people who matter to you and switch between their charts at will. TODAY The sky keeps moving after you're born. The Today tab reads the current transit against your own chart — the planetary activations coloring the day — and pairs it with a plainspoken daily line written for you, not for everyone. Step a few days in either direction to see what's shifting, or hold on today and just sit with it. CONNECTION Bring two charts together. Human Design Core composes a shared Bodygraph for any pair, shows the channels that form between the two of you, names the shape of the connection, and reads how the two designs actually meet — where they complete each other, where they rub. Share the result as a card, or invite the other person to see their side of it. MEMBERSHIP, PLAINLY The core is free and stays free: your Bodygraph foundation and Profile, the daily transit for today and a few days around it, the connection graph, and shareable cards. Every new account also gets seven days of Practitioner-level access, so you can read the deeper layers before deciding anything. Practitioner (€6.99/month or €54.99/year) opens the detailed reading of your Centers, Channels, Gates, and Variables, unlimited transit dates, the full connection reading, and a larger chart library. Analyst (€14.99/month or €89.99/year, with a 7-day free trial) adds the fullest depth of reading and includes PDF report generation. We don't claim to be the biggest or the best. We built the chart we wanted to read, and priced it so the deep end stays reachable. PERSONAL REPORTS Turn any chart — your own or a couple's — into a composed PDF report, delivered to your account to keep. Rather not subscribe? Buy reports on their own: one, three, or five at a time. Enter a single date and see for yourself. No account needed to draw your first chart, and no credit card to begin.
