Frequently Asked Questions

What platforms is LeelaClue available on?

LeelaClue is available on iOS (App Store) and Android (Google Play). The app works on smartphones and tablets. You can also explore the Leela board game using our Offline Game guide on this website.

Is LeelaClue free to use?

Yes — all core features, including Daily Wisdom, Daily Guidance, the Leela Field, the Sadhana Tree, Active Practices, and your Reflection Diary, are completely free with no subscriptions. Optional consultations with the Leela Guru (AI companion) use Clues. Every new user receives a free welcome gift of Clues on first launch, and additional Clues can be acquired as one-time packages on the Dakshina screen. See our Terms of Use for details.

Does LeelaClue collect my personal data?

No. LeelaClue works without registration and does not collect your name, email address, or personal identity. All your reflections, card spreads, and diary entries remain 100% local on your device. Only when you explicitly consult the Leela Guru AI is the text of that specific inquiry sent in real time to Google Gemini (without data retention or model training). Optional sign-in with Apple or Google exists solely to protect purchased Clues across devices using an anonymous identifier, and anonymous usage analytics is strictly opt-in (disabled by default). See our Privacy Policy for full details.

What languages does LeelaClue support?

LeelaClue supports English, German, and Russian. The app automatically detects your device language and switches accordingly. All 72 card descriptions, daily practices, and interface elements are fully translated in each language.

How do the daily rituals work?

LeelaClue offers two daily rituals:

  • Daily Wisdom: Presents a single card with a practice for the day, designed for morning intention-setting.
  • Daily Guidance (3-Card Spread): A meditative spread for exploring your most important life questions. It reveals your current state, hidden influences, and guidance.

Each ritual can be used once per day to encourage deep reflection rather than habitual checking. Learn more in the User Guide.

What is Leela?

Leela is an ancient Indian game of self-knowledge, also known as the "Game of Life" or "Snakes and Arrows". It has been used for centuries as a tool for spiritual self-reflection. The 72 spaces on the game board represent different states of consciousness, from Anger and Jealousy to Bliss and Cosmic Consciousness.

What is the Offline Leela Game?

The Offline Leela Game is a physical version of Leela that can be played with real cards and a game board, often guided by an experienced Leela coach. We provide information about sessions and coaches on our Offline Game page.

What is the connection between Leela and Shadow Work?

Leela is an ancient "map" of 72 states of consciousness. Shadow Work is the process of bringing your unconscious patterns into awareness. LeelaClue uses these 72 archetypes as a mirror; the cards don't tell your future, they help you identify the "shadows" (blind spots) currently influencing your behavior.

How does the app help me "do the work"?

Instead of passive reading, the app uses a 3-step diagnostic framework:

  • Status (Where am I?): Your current starting point.
  • Obstacle (What I don't notice): This is your Shadow. It identifies the hidden resistance you are currently overlooking.
  • Resource (What will help): The internal strength needed to integrate that shadow and move forward.
