Lila: Self-Inquiry Mirror
A private game of reflection
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Choose the Mirror's voice before each journey: Gentle, or Unsparing, which will not let you dodge. Everything you answer stays in a private Journal on your phone.
Lila is the ancient game of self-knowledge, made private.
A board of 72 squares. One die. Name a question or a knot you're working through, confirm you'll look without masks, and roll — you enter the board only on a 6, the symbol of Birth. Move square by square through states of mind: virtues that lift you, shadows that pull you down. On every square, a Mirror gives you an honest reading tied to your own intention, and asks 1–2 questions. Answer in your own words.
CHOOSE THE MIRROR'S VOICE
Gentle — supportive, honest, never flattering.
Unsparing — direct, unflinching, names what you avoid. Never cruel, never a diagnosis.
You choose, every journey.
PRIVATE, ON YOUR PHONE
Your intentions and your own answers never leave your device. No account, no cloud, no tracking. Where your iPhone supports it, the Mirror personalises a reading to your words — composed entirely on your iPhone, re-checked before you ever see it. Start a journey or open your Journal straight from Siri or Spotlight.
A JOURNAL THAT NEVER LOSES YOUR REFLECTION
Every journey is saved to your private Journal — read back what you wrote, weeks or months later, and see how the question lands differently now. The Mirror's Thread, a quiet continuity digest, lets a new journey remember what an earlier one was working through, so the Mirror never feels amnesiac. Nothing leaves your phone to make that happen.
WHEN A JOURNEY CLOSES
Reaching the last square is the point, not a score. At the close, the Mirror can gather the whole path you walked against the question you named — a longer Synthesis for when you want a deeper reckoning than square by square (Lila Plus). And you can keep a Journey Keepsake: a quiet image of the path your token took across the board. By default it carries none of your words — a private marker of the journey, not something to perform.
NOT THERAPY
Lila is a contemplative board game, not a substitute for professional support. If something feels heavier than a game can hold, please reach out to a real person.

Ratings & Reviews

Version 1.3.1
A quiet typographic pass over the Mirror's voice.
Wherever the Mirror quotes your own words back to you, they now sit in English quotation marks. And a question you write keeps its own question mark, without collecting a stray period after it.
Small corrections — but they fall on almost every reading, and the page should be set as carefully as the words on it.
Everything still holds: 100% on your iPhone, no account, no cloud, no tracking. No streaks, no badges, no notifications. Composed on your iPhone, never sent anywhere. Still a contemplative game, never therapy.
