## Description

Stuck on an idea? Try a different angle.

Oblique Strategies Sideways brings Brian Eno and Peter Schmidt’s creative prompts to your iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch. Each card offers a suggestion, an unexpected constraint, or a small challenge to help you approach your work differently.

Bring an unfinished draft, a difficult composition, or a question you can’t quite resolve. Draw a card, make your own connection, and turn it into one small experiment.

EXPLORE THE POSSIBILITIES

• Five editions, from 1975 to 2001, each with its own selection of strategies.
• Swipe through the cards or shuffle the deck for a fresh starting point.
• Save useful strategies to your Favorites and return to them when you need a nudge.
• Share a card as text or an image to spark a conversation.
• Choose from five background themes to suit your creative space.
• Enjoy layouts designed for both iPhone and iPad.
• Keep a fresh perspective close at hand with the Apple Watch companion app.
• Use your decks offline, wherever you work.

For writers, musicians, artists, designers—and anyone ready to try another approach.

You don’t need the perfect answer. Sometimes, you just need a different question.
