A 100%-on-device adaptation of Leela — the traditional 72-square board game of self-knowledge. Name a question, walk the board, and meet a Mirror that won't flatter you. Every reading is composed on your iPhone.
State an Intention — a real question or a knot you're stuck on — confirm you'll look without masks, and roll. You enter the board only on a 6, the symbol of Birth. Then you move square by square through states of mind: virtues that lift you, shadows that pull you down.
Delusion isn't always confusion — sometimes it's a small service you perform for yourself, so you don't have to act on what you'd see clearly.
Choose the Mirror's voice
Gentle is supportive and honest. Unsparing is direct and unflinching — it names what you avoid. Neither is ever cruel, and you choose every journey. On every square the Mirror gives you a reading tied to your own question and asks 1–2 questions. You answer in your own words.
A Journal that never loses your reflection
Every journey is saved to a private Journal. Read back what you wrote weeks or months later, and see how the same question lands differently now.
Private, literally
Every reading is composed on your iPhone — Apple Intelligence where available, a hand-authored library everywhere else.
No account, no sign-in, no server, no sync, no cloud.
No networked AI, no analytics SDKs, no telemetry, no cross-app tracking.
Your intentions and your answers never leave your device.
The only network traffic is Apple's App Store for the subscription. Verifiable with any network proxy.
Questions
Is this therapy?
No. 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.
Does my data leave my phone?
No. There is no account and no server. Your intentions and your written answers stay on your iPhone. The only network traffic is Apple's App Store for the subscription.
Do I need Apple Intelligence?
No. Lila's hand-authored 72-square library is the full experience. On devices with Apple Intelligence, the on-device FoundationModels framework personalises a reading to your Intention — but it is never required and never a "degraded" experience without it.
What do I get free, and what is paid?
One complete journey is free. A subscription or the one-time lifetime unlock adds unlimited journeys, the Unsparing Mirror, your full Journal, and new lenses over the traditional board.
