A Reflection Journal With the I Ching

Hexora is a private iPhone journal that uses the I Ching as a daily prompt. Track moods, archive readings, find patterns. No account, no tracking, all on device.

Why pair journaling with the I Ching?

Most journaling apps start from a blank page, which is exactly the problem — when you most need to write, you don't know what to write about. The I Ching solves that by giving you a non-arbitrary prompt every day: a hexagram drawn for you, with a name, an image, and guidance pointed at a specific situation. The page stops being blank and becomes "how does this apply to me right now?"

What you get with Hexora

Each reading captures the question, the cast hexagram, the changing lines, the AI-assisted interpretation, and a freeform notes field. You can attach a mood tag — calm, restless, hopeful, heavy, curious — so weeks later you can scan the archive and notice which moods clustered around which themes. The daily oracle pull adds one new entry per day even when you don't ask anything explicitly, which keeps the journal alive on quiet days.

Privacy: it has to be yours

A reflection journal you don't trust is a reflection journal you stop using. Hexora has no login, no analytics SDKs, and no cloud sync. Readings live in SwiftData on the device, archived to Keychain via an anonymous identifier. The only network call goes to a Cloudflare Worker for the AI interpretation — nothing is stored server-side beyond a 7-day cache keyed by a hash of your inputs.

Building a habit

The Hexora widget pins today's hexagram to your home screen, so the day starts with a reflection prompt instead of notifications. Use the daily pull as a morning anchor, write a few lines in the notes field, attach a mood, and move on. Over months, the archive becomes a quiet record of how you actually felt — not what you tweeted, not what you posted, just what was true.

Five mood tags per reading; scan the archive for clusters and patterns.
