Small things that work in under three minutes, and store nothing about you.
Every tool here follows the same three rules. It finishes quickly. It gives you something to do rather than something to read. And nothing you type, choose or notice is saved, sent or logged anywhere — not to us, not to anyone.

Now
How you are, then what you want to do with it, then one small thing to do, with a timer. Twelve states and eight intentions, each written for the state you are actually in. When the feeling is strong it says wait before it says do, and choosing to leave it alone is a real answer.

Do Nothing
The screen empties. The header, the menu and the footer all disappear. A timer so faint you can almost ignore it, and a way to stop whenever you like. At the end, one question: what did you notice?

The Question Sharpener
You type the question you keep circling. It walks you through three checks — can this be answered today by anyone, who does the answer depend on, and what is the question underneath it — and gives you back the answerable version, plus one thing to do about it. No tradition required, and it predicts nothing.

Number Prashna
Choose a number between one and one hundred and eight without thinking about it. You get what that number is traditionally associated with, and one question to sit with. A prompt, not a prediction.

The Moment of Asking
Records the exact moment a question is asked — the date, the time, the place, the planetary hour, the nakshatra, where the moon is. It shows you what the traditions look at in this moment and stops there. It does not interpret, and it does not tell you what will happen.
What these are not
None of these tools predicts anything, diagnoses anything, or gives a verdict on your health, your money, your relationships or your safety. They are contemplative and reflective, and that is the whole of what they claim to be.
If something is affecting your health, please see a qualified doctor. If things are heavy right now, Thenow is not a crisis service — in India, Tele-MANAS on 14416 and KIRAN on 1800-599-0019 are free, national and answer around the clock.
