Vela

For iPhone

One quiet moment, every morning.

Vela gives you one card of words a day. You open it yourself, and every morning becomes a star in your sky.

Vela on iPhone: today’s card is open, with the words “The people I love are part of who I am.”

Open

A sealed card is waiting for you

Each morning, today’s card waits sealed. You lift it when you’re ready, and you are the one who opens it.

Today’s card, sealed, with “Today’s card is waiting” and “Lift to open”.

Read

Words that meet you where you are

You can tell Vela how you’re arriving in the day. On heavy days the words grow gentler, and no one asks you to be happy.

If a card misses, tap “Doesn’t feel right”. Vela learns what isn’t for you.

The question “How are you arriving today?” with five answers, from “Heavy” to “Light and glad”.

Take it with you

Every morning becomes a star

When you open the card, a star lights up in your sky. The stars gather into constellations, and they never go out. Tap a star to get that morning’s words back.

At the milestones, a small gift is waiting.

A small gift: a ring of stars and the words “Little by little this has become yours.”
Your sky: Cassiopeia on its way, with the next stars faintly drawn. 32 mornings with Vela and 3 constellations.

Widget

Today’s card on your Home Screen

Put Vela on your Home Screen. The card stays sealed until you open it, and your sky is there too.
