Worddust

One word to focus on today, spelled in gold dust by a fairy made of light.

A swarm of glowing particles gathers into a fairy, asks whether you believe in magic, and throws a handful of gold dust into the air. The dust forms one word to carry with you today.

Features

A little magic, once a day.

  • One word a day

    Each day the dust spells a single word, like Courage, Rest or Enthusiasm, with a short line to carry with you.

  • A fairy made of light

    Thousands of glowing particles rain down into a fairy who asks if you believe in magic. She has no voice, only typewriter text.

  • A living swarm

    Between visits the particles drift like a flock of starlings and take shape as real science and geometry: a prism splitting light, DNA, a magnetic field, the Fibonacci spiral, a hummingbird and more.

  • She knows your name

    Tell her your name and she'll use it. Skip it if you'd rather not. It's saved only on your iPhone.

  • Everyday wonders

    Answer No and she'll make a gentle case for magic using true everyday wonders, then throw the dust anyway.

  • Quiet and private

    No account, no ads and no tracking, and it works offline.
