Archea
A journal you keep for yourself,
and nobody else can read.
You write. Four voices answer. Your pages are encrypted on your phone before they leave it, with a key that comes from your secret phrase — and from nothing else.

What you do in it
You write a page.
In the evening, or whenever it comes. Nothing else is asked, and nothing else is known: everything Archea knows about you is what you wrote.
Four voices answer.
They are not advisers. Each one looks at what you wrote from a different place, and most often hands you back a question rather than an opinion. You choose which of them you speak to.
The King
Your decisions, your boundaries, what you hold.
The Warrior
The gesture put off, the effort you know is needed.
The Sage
What there is to understand, and the distance to see it.
The Lover
What moves you, and what you do not dare name.
A dream gets read.
You write down what you remember on waking. The reading uses Jung's vocabulary — amplification, compensation, the dream read as a drama — and looks at the series of your dreams: what comes back, and above all what has gone from it. A dream is read once; you do not start again until the reading pleases you.
On Monday, the Mirror re-reads the week.
It counts, it notices what repeated itself, and it asks a question. It grades nothing, compares you to nobody, and has no opinion on the week you have just had.
A map says what keeps coming back.
Which voice occupies you, since when, and what you have not spoken of. It counts pages — nothing else. A voice absent from your pages is not absent from you: it is only absent from what you wrote.
What nobody can read
Your pages are encrypted on your phone before they leave it, with a key that never leaves your devices. We host data we are technically unable to read.
This is not an undertaking not to look. It is a property of the way the application is built: we hold nothing that would decrypt anything.
There are three exceptions, and you are the one who triggers them: speaking to a voice, having a dream read, entrusting your week to the Mirror. Those texts cross our servers unencrypted, for as long as an answer takes. Each of the three is asked of you separately, before the first time, telling you what leaves and what does not — and is withdrawn in the settings.
No advertising, no tracker, no analytics. The application contacts no server other than ours. All of this is written out in detail in the privacy policy.

Coming to the App Store
Archea is not available yet. We are building it, and it is at present in the hands of its first testers. It will reach the App Store when it is ready — not before.
