The History of Cha0smagick Labs (Since 2025) (2026)
Table of Contents
This is the studio history as it actually happened: the first app, the pricing bet, the slow build of the library, and the decisions that still shape every release. No origin myth, just the record.
2025: The First App
Cha0smagick Labs started in 2025 with one app: a chaos sigil generator. The idea was simple - practitioners needed a clean, private way to design and charge sigils without a subscription or an account. That first release set the pattern every later app follows: one-time purchase, works offline, collects nothing.
- First release: the Chaos Sigil Generator, a one-time $3.99 purchase
- The bet: practitioners would pay once rather than rent their tools
- The rule: no subscriptions, no ads, no accounts, no tracking
- The result: a small but steady stream of purchases and reviews
Growing the Library
One app became several as the studio covered more of the practice map: tarot, runes, the I Ching, lunar phases, dreams, astral projection, ESP training, goetic references, and - with Eerie Roads - the paranormal side. Each app filled a real gap instead of copying what already existed.
- Divination: Rider-Waite Tarot, Norse Rune Oracle, I Ching Oracle
- Inner work: Dream Machine, Astral Lab, PSI GYM
- Craft: Chaos Sigil Generator, Lunar Phase Calculator
- Spirits and the paranormal: Arcana Goetia, Eerie Roads, NOCTEM
The Decisions That Mattered
Three decisions define the studio. The first is pricing: every app is a one-time purchase, deliberately. The second is privacy: no data leaves the device, by architecture, not by promise. The third is content: the guide library exists to make users better practitioners, not just to sell apps.
- One-time pricing over subscriptions, publicly and in writing
- Local-only processing: privacy by architecture, not by policy
- A growing library of honest guides, reviews, and references
- Every support email answered by a human within 48 hours
Where We Are Now
Today the studio ships eleven apps across divination, inner work, craft, and the paranormal - with more in development. The guide library keeps growing because the mission is unchanged: build tools that respect the practitioner and the practice. Eerie Roads, the ghost-hunting companion, is one of the newest members of the family.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many apps does Cha0smagick Labs have?
Eleven Android apps across divination, inner work, craft, and the paranormal - plus a growing library of free guides on this site.
Why one-time purchases instead of subscriptions?
Practitioners should own their tools. A one-time price respects that, keeps the apps usable offline forever, and builds trust - the model works on volume and honest reviews, not on recurring charges.
What is next for the studio?
More apps in the same spirit - one-time price, offline, private - and a deeper guide library. The roadmap is published in the product sections of this site.
