About Us

Who Makes This App

The Oracle's Handbook is developed and maintained by Code Craft LLC, a small independent software studio building focused, single-purpose apps across iOS, Android, and the web. Our stated approach across every app we ship is the same: build something clean, useful, and honest about what it does and doesn't do, and be careful with the data of the people who use it. This app is our entry into esoteric and self-reflection software — it exists because tarot, astrology, numerology, and related practices have a long documented history as tools for structured self-reflection, and we wanted a single, well-built home for exploring several of them together instead of juggling half a dozen single-purpose apps.

What The Oracle's Handbook Actually Does

This app bundles several traditionally distinct practices into one toolkit. On the tarot side, it offers eight spreads of varying depth and purpose — from a single daily card to the ten-card Celtic Cross — either dealt digitally from a shuffled 78-card deck or entered manually from your own physical deck, with full support for reversed-card orientation and a full library of upright/reversed meanings for every card. On the astrology side, it calculates real natal (birth) charts and daily planetary transits using actual ephemeris data (via the astronomy-engine library, not a lookup table of canned interpretations), plus synastry charts comparing two people's placements. Beyond those two, it includes an interactive Qabalistic Tree of Life with all ten Sephiroth and twenty-two Paths, the twenty-two Hebrew letters and their correspondences, numerology calculators for Life Path and related numbers, a seven-chakra reference with an interactive figure, a Reiki self-practice guide, guided meditation and mind-training exercises, and a private self-observation diary for tracking mood and reflections over time.

What This App Is — and Isn't — Claiming

We want to be direct about this: nothing in this app is a scientifically validated method of predicting the future, diagnosing a medical or mental-health condition, or replacing professional advice of any kind. Controlled studies of astrological and cartomantic prediction (see, for instance, the discussion of Carlson's 1985 double-blind astrology study in this app's own Natal Chart Education page) have not found evidence for their predictive claims under experimental conditions. What these practices do have — and what this app is actually built around — is a long, well-documented history as structured frameworks for reflection: a tarot spread gives you a fixed set of questions to sit with in relation to a real situation; a natal chart gives you a symbolic vocabulary for thinking about temperament and circumstance. We built every educational page in this app (the Tree of Life, natal chart education, chakra history, Reiki history, and others) to be historically accurate and appropriately hedged rather than to oversell what these traditions can do. Use the tools here as what they are: aids to your own thinking, not oracles in the literal sense.

Data and Privacy, in Brief

Most of what this app does — dealing cards, calculating charts, reading educational content — happens entirely on your device and is never sent anywhere. Creating an account is optional and is only needed for a small number of features, like syncing a saved natal chart or an active Pro subscription across devices. The full detail of what is and isn't collected, and how advertising and analytics fit in, lives on the Privacy Policy page linked from this app's menu — we'd rather you read the real thing than a summary.

Feedback and Support

This app is actively maintained by a small team, and we read every message that comes in through the Contact Us page. If something is broken, confusing, or missing — a card meaning that looks wrong, a spread that doesn't match how you learned it, a feature you wish existed — that's exactly the kind of thing we want to hear about. Several existing features in this app (including the option to enter your own physical-deck draws instead of a digital shuffle, and the ability to toggle between reading-path conventions) exist because users asked for them.
