Wishborne

Wishborne is a private ritual journal for the moments when you want to slow down and begin again. Choose a vessel for your wish: - Sky Lantern: write, light a match, shelter the flame, and watch your lantern cross the night. - Moonwater Bloom: place your wish on the water, steady it with both hands, and let it drift downstream. - Echo Wishing Well: mint your words into a coin, polish it, and cast it into an ancient well. Your completed wishes stay on your iPhone with no automatic archive limit. Browse your personal Wish Archive, delete individual wishes, clear everything, or tap the eye icon before a ritual to turn on Private wish and leave no saved copy. Wishborne does not require an account, does not show ads, and does not collect your wishes. Ten Wishlights are available each day, and each completed ritual uses one.
