Your grimoire called. It misses you. Witchlet is the pocket grimoire you didn't know you were manifesting. A magical companion that's part reference library, part spellcasting device, and part witchy best friend. And yes, there's a familiar. Meet Grim. Start by choosing your familiar. Because a witch without a familiar is just a person with good candles. They're not just cute, they bring a little magic with them everywhere. The Cauldron is where some real fun begins. Cast spells, get suggestions when you're not feeling the call, and save the good ones to your Book of Shadows. Running low on supplies? Flip and use only what's in my cupboard and Witchlet will work with what you've got. No shopping required. The Cupboard is your witchy supply cabinet, finally organized. Log your herbs, crystals, candles, tools, and more so The Cauldron always knows what you're working with; perfect for Chaos Witches and Meticulous Practitioners alike. Seek and you shall find in The Scryer. Search the magical web for correspondences, lore, knowledge, and a spell for when The Cauldron just isn't the vibe. Think of it as a well-read coven in your pocket. The Library is dangerously easy to get lost in, which is why we're starting with only ten categories. Tarot, Astrology, Runes, Crystals, Herbs & Essential Oils, Lenormand, Spirit Guides, Elements, Timing...it’s the Grimoire you would have written if you had the time. Witchlet also has Moon Phases, including the best types of spells to do when your mood is witchy. Or at least you can figure out why Mercury Retrograde is ruining your week again. And remember that time you forgot Beltane was today? The Wheel of the Year gives you all the information you need to make magic happen today. Witchlet is wrapped in parchment and pastel tones with a handcrafted aesthetic that could belong on a vintage cottage altar. Whether you're lighting your first candle with intention or already arguing with your familiar about why the protection wards keep flickering, this space is for you. 7 day free trial. Grim's excited to meet your familiar. Witchlet Annual Subscription $59.99 per year, billed annually after a 7-day free trial. Includes full access to all features: The Cauldron, The Scryer, The Library, The Cupboard, Moon Phases, Wheel of the Year, and familiar selection. Subscription auto-renews unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Cancel anytime in your Apple ID settings.

Pillowbook is a beautiful dream journal and personal dream decoder. Wake up, jot down whatever fragments of your dreams your sleeping mind leaves behind, and see a deep interpretation drawn from a built-in library of dream symbols and tuned to who you actually are. Most dream meaning apps hand you a generic one-size-fits-all dictionary. Pillowbook is different: every symbol, emotion, person, and place you log becomes a node in your own growing knowledge graph, so you can see which themes and people keep returning across nights and which symbols bind together to reveal the complex inner workings of your psyche.
