Runes: Elder Futhark Meanings

Runes of the Elder Futhark, rune meanings, a phonetic transliterator and reading practice — with room for the Younger Futhark later. Offline, free, no paywall.

What's inside

• Runes reference — Elder Futhark with attested historical core and modern meanings kept apart. Keywords, life areas and combinations.

• Write and transliterate — a name or word is converted to sounds first, then to runes. For each rune you see why it was chosen and what the alternatives are.

• Oracle — rune of the day, spreads (one rune, three, five, cross, relationship) and a journal. No ads while you read a rune or during a reading.

• Library — transliteration rules and other texts. Rune poems and courses will arrive in later updates; everything already in the app stays free.

• Widget — rune of the day on your home screen.

Why this is different

Two layers: attested (historical) and modern — never in the same block. Modern interpretations developed in the 19th–20th centuries; every modern page says so. Four rune systems are planned; Elder Futhark is available now. Fully offline. Free, no paywall. No ads while you read a rune or during a reading.

Languages

The app is available in 45+ languages, including English.
