Glossary
Two words in this product mean nearly the same thing but are not the same thing, and a few others are used in a specific sense. If something in the manual reads oddly, the definition is probably here.
Money and plans
- Token
- The currency for generating things: deck artwork, card regenerations, edits, card animations and reading videos. Bought as a one-off purchase, never expires, and spends the same whether you earned it in the app or on the website.
- Credit
- The same thing as a token. The website's older wording says “credits” in a few places — your credit balance and your token balance are one number.
- Plan
- Your monthly subscription: Free, Seeker, Oracle, Professional. A plan governs readings — how many, how deep, and which spreads you can open. It does not include tokens.
- Free pick
- A deck you can claim from the marketplace without paying. Every plan includes some; how many depends on the plan. Claiming one uses a pick permanently.
Decks and cards
- Deck
- A complete set of 78 cards plus a card back, all generated in one art style. Selecting a deck makes it active, and its art then appears everywhere in the app.
- Quality level
- Graphic, Collector, Masterpiece — three levels that trade speed and price for detail. They apply to whole deck runs and to individual regenerations, and the two do not have to match.
- Deck run
- One batch generation of a deck. Charged as a single lump sum when it starts, covering the first successful delivery of every card in it.
- Major Arcana / Minor Arcana
- The 22 named cards (The Fool through The World) and the 56 suit cards. A deck can be generated as Majors first, with the Minors added later for the remainder of the price.
- Style brief
- The description you write of the art you want. It is the single biggest influence on how a deck turns out.
- Style guide
- The fixed set of art directions derived from your brief and applied to every card in the deck, so all 78 look like one deck rather than 78 unrelated pictures.
- Version
- Every generation of a card is kept. One version is active — the one you see — and the others stay browsable and restorable. Restoring an older version is free; nothing is ever deleted to make room.
- Empty card
- A card the generator failed to deliver. Empty cards are not charged for and can be regenerated free of charge until an image lands.
Readings
- Spread
- The layout a reading is dealt into, from one card to twelve. There are 44 of them — see every spread.
- Position
- One place in a spread, with a fixed meaning — “what challenges this”, “where this is heading”. The position is what turns a card into an answer.
- Reversal
- A card that lands upside down, read with a shifted emphasis. Reversals can be switched off if you prefer to read upright only.
- On-device reading
- An interpretation written entirely on your iPhone, with no network involved. This is what the Free and Seeker plans use, and what every plan falls back to when there is no connection.
- Online reading
- A deeper interpretation written by a hosted AI. Only your question and the cards you drew are sent — nothing else. Used by the Oracle and Professional plans.
- Follow-up
- An extra question asked of a finished reading, answered in the context of the cards already on the table. Limited per reading, and only on the plans that include it.
- Shuffle wait
- A short pause before a reading begins, which appears only after a lot of readings in one day. It scales with how many you have done and disappears the next day.
Marketplace
- Unique listing
- A deck sold once. Ownership transfers to the buyer and the listing disappears.
- Copy listing
- A deck sold any number of times. Each buyer gets their own independent, editable copy; yours stays yours.
- Delist
- Taking your listing off the marketplace. The listing type cannot be changed once live — delist and relist to switch between unique and copy.
Animation and video
- Card animation
- A short silent loop generated for a single card, which then plays wherever that card appears. Can be turned off globally without losing the animations you have paid for.
- Reading video
- A narrated vertical film built from the cards in a finished reading, with spoken narration generated alongside it.
- Creative direction
- An optional free-text note you can attach to a reading video, describing how you want it handled.
- Animation dials
- The ten sliders that shape a reading video — see video controls.
