An archive that remembers
Every reading is kept and you can write your own note on it. Over months, the symbols and themes that keep returning become visible.
Tonight at 21:00 Istanbul time
A nightly ritual, together
Every evening, one card is revealed to everyone in the app at the very same instant. You keep the ritual with someone you bond with — and read your Turkish coffee cup on your own photograph.
- One card
- for everyone, at once
- Two people
- one shared streak
- Your photo
- symbols marked on it
Tonight's reveal
--:--:--
One card. 21:00 Istanbul time. Everyone at the same instant.
Counted on the server's clock, not your device's.
Star Hour
Everyone at the same instant
It runs on the server's clock, not your phone's. Move your device clock forward and nothing changes — the hour is the same moment for everyone, everywhere.
- 1
Predict before the hour
Pick the card you think will come out. Predictions lock before the reveal — nobody can see the outcome first.
- 2
A countdown on your Lock Screen
In the last half hour a Live Activity counts down in the Dynamic Island and on the Lock Screen, to the same absolute instant.

One card, everyone at once
At 21:00 the same single card opens for every person in the app. Not a card drawn for you — the card, for that night.
- 4
The season is scored
Exact hits and near hits are scored, streaks carry, and the seasonal leaderboard updates the moment the card turns.
Bonds
A ritual for exactly two people
Most apps in this space are something you do alone. A bond makes the daily draw a thing you owe someone else.
Joined by an invite code
One of you creates a code, the other enters it. That pair is the whole social graph — no feed, no followers, no strangers.
Neither card opens alone
You each draw a card for the other every day. Both cards stay face down until both of you have drawn.
A streak you can only keep together
The streak belongs to the pair. If one of you drops a day, you both lose it — which is exactly why it holds.
Turkish coffee
Read on your own photograph
Photograph the cup you just drank from. Image analysis marks the symbols it finds directly on that photo, placed by the zone of the cup they sit in. Tap a marker to read what it means there.
The near future
Marks near the rim speak to what is already on its way — the days just ahead, and news that has almost arrived.
Kahve falı is a household ritual in Turkey — the cup is turned over, left to settle, and read by zone. ArcanaX keeps that structure instead of flattening it into a paragraph of text.
And the rest
Built to be returned to, not scrolled
The ritual is the product. Everything else exists to make coming back tomorrow worth something.
Your season, summed up
At the end of each season: the card that came up most, your most active evening, the streaks you kept and the ones you lost.
Lock Screen and Home Screen
Native iOS widgets on both, rendering from a shared container — so they keep working with no network at all, even in Airplane Mode.
Live Activity and Dynamic Island
The countdown to the nightly reveal runs natively on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, and updates itself with the result.
A symbol lexicon
Every symbol the reading names is linked to an entry explaining what it stands for, and how the meaning shifts by cup zone.
Turkish and English
Fully localised in both, including the symbol lexicon and every zone description — not a machine translation layer over English.
How it works
Three steps, then a habit
Set up your ritual
Name, birth date and place. That is all it takes — the chart work and the daily draw are built from it.
Bond with someone
Send an invite code to one person. From that evening on, you draw for each other and keep a streak neither of you can hold alone.
Show up at the hour
Submit your prediction during the day, then be there when the card turns. The leaderboard is scored the second it does.
The next card turns at 21:00
Be there for it. Submit a prediction, bond with someone, and start a streak worth keeping.
