Gateway Arcana

Build your Tarot practice with Gateway Arcana: a guide to the cards, a space for readings, and a journal for your own interpretations. LEARN THE TAROT Explore all 78 Tarot cards with upright and reversed meanings, keywords, symbols, and reflection prompts. Browse by suit, search by theme, compare cards, follow the Fool’s Journey, and practice with quizzes. Learn at your own pace, without streaks or lesson locks. MAKE THE READING YOURS Choose a built-in spread, create your own, draw cards in the app, or enter cards from a physical deck. Open Table lets you arrange up to 12 cards freely. Move and rotate cards, reveal them, and choose Tarot orientations. Add clarifiers to a position or the whole reading, then explore each card’s larger artwork and interpretation. WRITE AND RETURN Keep questions, card notes, interpretations, and Daily Card reflections in your Journal. Reopen a saved reading and continue writing. Configure individual Daily Cards or a Daily Pull from one deck or a mix of decks; today’s saved result remains the same when you return. EXPLORE ORACLE DECKS Alongside Tarot, discover 15 included Oracle decks with 660 illustrated cards. Choose a deck from its box on the Oracle shelf, browse its cards and upright meanings, or use it in a reading. Oracle reference browsing stays separate from Tarot quizzes and study progress. BRING YOUR OWN ARTWORK Add personal card photos or scans and map them to the reference cards, or create a personal Oracle deck with your own cards and groups. Artwork choices do not change Tarot meanings or study progress. KEEP YOUR PRACTICE CLOSE The included Apple Watch companion offers Tarot study, independent card pulls, and an image-led Today view for Daily Cards and Daily Pulls received from your iPhone. Last received readings remain available offline with their date. Delivery timing depends on connectivity. LOCAL BY DEFAULT No app account, advertising, tracking, or embedded AI. Optional private iCloud Sync supports study progress, readings, Journal entries, preferences, custom spreads, and personal deck artwork. Practice answers and Fool’s Journey progress stay local and are included in app data backups. Deck artwork has its own Deck Library backup. Share a reading image or export readable writing. Optional, user-initiated transfers to the companion Gateway Log app require a compatible release. Original readings remain in Arcana, and missing photos are disclosed. Requires iOS 17 or later. Tarot and Oracle cards are for reflection and education. Gateway Arcana does not provide medical, legal, financial, or professional advice.
