Frequently asked questions

You write your question, pick one of seven shuffled cards, and the app reveals it with an answer (Yes / No / Maybe / Needs Clarity), a short reading, and a piece of advice. It takes about 15 seconds.

Aurora is a virtual tarot reader. You open a conversation with her; she asks questions to understand what you want to bring up, draws a card with you, and interprets it. It's like sitting with a real tarot reader — only on your phone.

15 free credits when you download the app. Each turn in a conversation with Aurora costs 1 credit. Everything outside of chat (single-card readings, daily, library, natal chart) is free forever.

Two paths: (1) One-time credit packs — 20 ($4.99), 50 ($9.99), or 150 ($24.99). One-time purchase, no subscription. (2) Aurora+, a monthly subscription with daily credits that renew every night, premium readings, and your cards of the year.

Only what's needed for your history: question, drawn card, answer. We don't ask for name, email, phone, or device identifier. You can wipe everything in Settings → "Clear history." Full policy.

Trust in the sense of "this is what will happen"? No. The readings are symbolic — they help you reflect on how you're seeing the situation, like a good conversation with someone who knows you. They don't replace professional guidance in health, legal, or financial matters. In an emotional crisis: US 988 (call or text), UK & ROI Samaritans 116 123, Brazil CVV 188.

Yes, she uses an OpenAI language model under the hood. But she was trained with specific instructions to sound like a professional reader: direct and warm tone, no clichés, refusing fatalistic predictions, redirecting sensitive topics to professionals.

The card is now called The Chains. The symbolic meaning (patterns of attachment, behavioral habits) is the same, but without the heavy imagery that turns away people unfamiliar with traditional tarot.

Partially. The deck is cached locally, so you can see the cards. But new readings and Aurora need internet (the backend records your history on the server so you don't lose it when switching phones — no login, just the device's anonId).

All 22 Major Arcana plus 11 hand-picked Minor Arcana. The idea was a deck deep enough for meaningful readings but lean enough that you get to know every card. It may grow over time.

We're wrapping it up — for now the focus is the iOS + Android app, where the experience is complete. The web version is coming, but we're not rushing it: we want it to be good before opening it to the public.
