SHINNEN
Measure your thought-force
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
SHINNEN is an experimental app that asks a simple question: can directed human thought influence randomness?
Quiet your mind. Hold a single intention. Then measure.
MEASUREMENT MODES
QUICK (5s) - A short session against cryptographic randomness. Single-phase, no baseline. Ideal for daily practice.
NORMAL (20s) - A two-phase session with a baseline period, for a more careful reading.
HARD (48s) - Uses physical sensor noise from the accelerometer and gyroscope as the random source, rather than an algorithm. Requires Airplane Mode ON, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth OFF, and the charger unplugged. The most rigorous experimental design in the app.
HOW IT IS ANALYZED
Every session is evaluated with NIST-style statistical tests. Deviation from expected randomness is expressed as a score, so results are comparable across sessions and across people.
WHAT YOU GET
The Record - a personal history of every measurement
The Pilgrimage - a global leaderboard of accumulated results
The Devoted - those who walk the path most consistently
Gallery - commemorative cards awarded at milestones
Measurement Guide - how to prepare, and what the numbers mean
HARD MODE UNLOCK
A one-time purchase that unlocks Hard mode, the 48-second sensor-noise measurement. It also removes ads across the app. Quick and Normal modes remain free.
A NOTE ON WHAT THIS IS
SHINNEN makes no claim that thought influences matter. It is an instrument, not a verdict. What it offers is a disciplined way to look: repeatable measurement, honest statistics, and a record of what you find.
Quiet the mind. Direct your thought. Measure.

Commemorative cards are now kept with your account.
If you have signed in with Apple or Google, the cards in your gallery return after a reinstall or a move to a new device. Cards inscribed while signed out remain on this device only.
Your practice chronicle stays on the device, as before. The path you walked remains with the device; only what is inscribed is carried onward.
