The Daily Question Almanac

Your four pillars, computed on device from a birth date and hour. One question a day, cast by three classical methods at once. Our accuracy backtest is in the app.

The Daily Question computes your BaZi chart - the four pillars of year, month, day and hour from the Chinese stem-and-branch calendar - and uses it to give you one reading a day.

ONE QUESTION A DAY Ask one thing that is actually on your mind. Three classical methods are cast on it at the same hour: Qimen Dun Jia, the I Ching, and Da Liu Ren. Where all three point the same way, the app says so plainly. Where they disagree, it says that too, instead of picking the prettiest answer.

WHAT WE DO NOT CLAIM We backtested our own timing calls against tens of thousands of documented lives. They matched chance. That result is printed inside the app, not buried here. So this is not a prediction engine and we do not sell it as one. What you get is a structured way to look at a day, a decision, or a season - and an honest account of how much weight it can carry.

YOUR CHART, IN FULL

• Four pillars, day master, the five elements and their balance
• Ten-year luck cycles, and the year-by-year detail inside them
• A Zi Wei Dou Shu cross-check: the app speaks up when two independent classical systems agree, and stays quiet when they do not
• East x West Mirror: your day master beside your Western sun and rising signs, read side by side
• Solar-term rhythm across the twenty-four terms of the year
• The Iron Board: a faithful, fully auditable revival of Tieban Shenshu, where every step is arithmetic you can check

NOTHING LEAVES YOUR PHONE There is no server. The app contains no network code at all - no requests, no analytics, no advertising, no third-party services. Your birth data and anything you write stay in local storage on your own device. Turn on Airplane Mode and every feature still works. That is not a promise; it is something you can test in ten seconds.

A profile is optional. You can create one to name a chart and keep more than one, sign out, sign back in, or delete it - all on this device. Every feature works without one.

The app is free.
