A magical record for iPhone · in development
Talk through your working, or debrief when it’s done. Aldaraia files the entry, stamps the planetary hour, Moon and void-of-course, remembers what you promised, and checks in at 3, 7, 30 and 90 days.
Any tradition. No account. Your record stays encrypted on your phone.
How it works
Tap Begin and state your intent. Narrate as you go, or answer four questions when you’re done. It records with the screen off and in airplane mode.
Your words become an entry: intent, spirits, materials, steps, what you noticed, what you promised. The sky is stamped from your location, and misheard names are fixed from a lexicon, with your OK.
At 3, 7, 30 and 90 days, plus any date you mentioned, Aldaraia asks how it’s going. Answer from the lock screen in one tap, or in a few words.
One working, before and after
What you say
“okay, Wednesday night, I’m going to call stoles from the gooey tia to help me learn the astronomy and herbs for the class… seal on parchment, triangle set up, LBRP first. Frankincense and a bit of dragon’s blood… the candle flame’s doing this tall flickering thing, I’m getting a crowned owl… asked for help memorizing the planetary correspondences before the exam on the 28th. Offering was the incense and a candle every Wednesday. License to depart, LBRP. Done.”
Built for working magicians
Every vow you mention becomes a reminder: one-time, every Wednesday in the hour of Mercury, or due when the working succeeds. Mark each one kept.
Day 3, 7, 30 and 90, plus any date you mention. Rate it from the lock screen: clear result, partial, nothing yet.
Planetary day and hour, Sun and Moon by sign and degree, phase, void-of-course, retrogrades, the whole chart. Worked out on your phone from GPS, even offline.
See where your results have been best: by hour, day, Moon, spirit, materials and method. Plain counts from your own record.
Goetia, Golden Dawn, Thelema, chaos, planetary magic, witchcraft, folk practice, devotion. Aldaraia records what you did in your terms. It never judges or interprets.
Export everything to Markdown or JSON at any time, on the free plan too. Ready for Obsidian.
Security
Some practitioners live with people, or under governments, that would punish them for this record. Aldaraia is built for them first.
Founders’ license · first 1,000
Everything in Aldaraia’s paid tier, for as long as the app exists: unlimited voice entries, check-ins, promises, patterns, encrypted backup, and 60 cloud-transcribed entries a month (unlimited on the phone or with your own AI key).
Fully refundable until launch, no questions. Refunded automatically if Aldaraia isn’t in the App Store by 30 June 2027. Terms.
Waitlist
Only your email is required. The questions take two minutes and decide what gets built first.
Thank you. We’ll write when the beta opens, and not much before. If a friend keeps a record, or wishes they did, send them this page.
iPhone first, aiming for early 2027. Android after that.
No. It files what you said. It doesn’t read omens, judge your practice or tell you what a spirit meant.
No. It shows patterns in your own record and makes no claims about outcomes.
It’s stored encrypted on your phone. If you turn on cloud transcription, the text of an entry is sent to a speech or language model to be structured, under settings that don’t keep it. Private mode keeps everything on the phone.
Any. The name lexicon starts with the Goetia, the Olympic spirits, the planetary angels, intelligences and spirits, and common divine names, and it learns the names you use.
It’s the first word of the Book of Soyga, a book of magical letter-tables that John Dee owned. It opens “Aldaraia sive Soyga vocor”: I am called Aldaraia, or Soyga. Dee asked the angels to explain it and was told only the archangel Michael could. The book was lost after his death and found again in 1994.
A practitioner who wanted a record that keeps itself.
