Rooted
Read full descriptionHide full description
Rooted starts with a question most apps skip: who are you actually, right now? A 15-minute assessment reads your own words back to you across six life roots: Self-Direction, Connection and Communication, Financial Clarity, Growth and Skill, Purpose and Meaning, and Body and Energy. You get a written report in plain language, not a personality type or a score out of ten. Then the work begins, one small task at a time. WHAT YOU GET A personal report Written from your answers, about you. It names what is working, what you are avoiding, and the one gap holding the rest back. A 30-day path One task a day, sized to be done today rather than admired. Each one is chosen for the root you're building most, so effort lands where it changes something. Miss a day and you can still go back and do it. Treeko, your forest guide Ask questions and get answers grounded in your report and your progress, not generic advice. A private journal Write freely. Treeko reflects it back and connects it to the root you are working on. Weekly insights A short letter each week on what actually shifted, with your six roots tracked over time so progress is visible instead of assumed. Personal goals Bring your own goal. Rooted turns it into steps that fit alongside your daily practice. WHO IT IS FOR People in transition. Anyone between jobs, cities, relationships or versions of themselves. Anyone who has read the books, saved the posts, and still cannot say what to do tomorrow morning. HOW IT IS DIFFERENT Most self-improvement apps hand you a library and let you guess. Rooted assesses first, then decides for you, then asks for fifteen minutes. It is also honest about what it is not. Rooted is a self-help and daily growth app. It is not therapy, not a diagnosis, and not a substitute for professional care. If something heavier is going on, it will say so and point you toward real support. Start with the assessment. It is free, and the report is yours to keep.

The Luck Guide is the astrology app that tells you what to do, when, and why — computed from your exact birth chart, on your device, from the real positions of the planets. Nothing here is randomly generated. Every word you read is calculated from live orbital data and your natal chart — accurate to a hundredth of a degree, using the same NASA/JPL-derived planetary data professional astrologers rely on. This is astrology the way it was originally practiced: a technical craft of measurement and timing, grounded in the classical tradition and rigorously computed. FORECASTS KEYED TO YOUR ACTUAL CHART Your daily, fortnightly, three-month, and yearly readings aren't written for a sign — they're computed for you, and they name the real machinery of your moment: • The exact transits crossing your chart, read by the house they fall in • Your time-lord chapters (zodiacal releasing) and annual profections, anchored to your real solar return • Solar and lunar returns, secondary progressions, eclipses that strike your natal points, and fixed-star contacts When several independent techniques point to the same theme at once, the app tells you — two agreeing is meaningful, three is loud, four is once in a lifetime. Every reading is written by hand — thousands of authored passages, chosen by your chart's exact geometry and phrased in plain language rather than technical jargon. The four cadences are threaded together, so the shape of your year and the detail of your day tell one continuous story, each development covered once, at the scale where it matters. A LIVE MAP OF THE SKY ABOVE YOU Rendered in real time for your exact location: • The sky shifts color through the day with the Sun's true altitude — deep blue by day, violet at sunrise and sunset, black at night — quietly tracking the real sky outside your window. • Every planet sits at its true altitude and azimuth, with real rise, set, and culmination times, and the planetary hour you're in right now. • Hold your phone up and point it at the sky, and the dome follows — what's on screen matches what's really in front of you: the planets, the constellations, what's above the horizon and what's below. FEATURES • Personalized daily, fortnightly, monthly & yearly horoscopes • Full natal birth chart with a reading that explains itself • Hour-by-hour timing guide for when to act • Birth-chart compatibility (synastry) for the people in your life • A live, location-accurate sky map with sunrise, sunset & planetary hours • Ask questions about your chart, answered on-device — with reasoning, not a one-line verdict • Classical tools: fixed stars, lots, profections, returns, and more PRIVATE BY DESIGN The Luck Guide has no backend and no account. Your birth details and chart never leave your phone, are never sold, and are never shared — even the AI runs entirely on-device. No servers. No ads. Usage analytics are anonymous. SPEAKS YOUR LANGUAGE Available in 20 languages, translated on device using Apple's built-in machine translation — so your learning reads naturally in your own language while your data stays private on your phone.
