Kenaz: Elder Futhark Runes

The 24 runes of the Elder Futhark on a single screen, drawn as carved stone. Tap a rune to read it.

Each one comes with its meaning, a short description written like working notes, and four marks to work with: state, question, action, shadow. Every rune carries one of the four elements — fire, water, air, earth — shown by shape as well as color, so the marks stay readable either way.

Draw a rune to work with — one, or a three-rune spread that flips face up with a tap. Cast your own stones by hand and lay the result in the app: pick three runes, mark any as reversed, and read how they work together through their elements. Save draws and spreads to a journal with your own notes.

A new rune arrives every day — at the top of the grid, on a home-screen widget, on the lock screen, and in an optional morning notification. Switch the language anytime in Settings.

We kept the texts practical. A rune won't promise you a future; it names where you stand. What you do about it is up to you.
