YaoWiseAll things in time
A quieter heart, a clearer path
Write down what you're going through and cast a hexagram in six taps. YaoWise uses the I Ching and AI to help you see it clearly.
iPhone & Android · 5 languages · Regular updates
Ask
Write it down
Tap six times and six lines form your hexagram. Your reading first responds to your question, then looks at where things stand, how they might turn and what you can do.
There are four reading styles. Switch styles and the conclusion stays the same.
- 01Not sure how to ask? Pick a topic and YaoWise helps you find the words
- 02Ask follow-up questions after reading
- 03Tossed your own coins? Enter your hexagram by hand

Bazi
Who you are
Bazi is the traditional Chinese birth chart. From your birth date and hour, YaoWise lays out your Four Pillars and Five Elements, then writes a short sketch of you in plain words.
Enter a Gregorian or Chinese lunar date. Not sure of the hour? Enter your best guess and change it later.
- 01Add your birth details to see your Four Pillars and a short sketch right away
- 02How your Five Elements balance out, with a short explanation
- 03Set up birth charts for your family too
Today
A look at today
Each day in the Chinese calendar has a pillar, a pair of signs called a stem and a branch. See how today's meets your birth chart: one word, one sentence, one question to ask yourself.1
Where is this pressure actually drawing a boundary for you?
- 01Today's pillar, solar term and hour, the traditional markers of time
- 02What kind of day it is for you, based on your birth chart
- 03Keep today on your iPhone Home & Lock Screen2
Codex
Lit up as you ask
All 64 hexagrams of the I Ching are here, with original text and translation. Each time you ask, the hexagram you cast lights up in your Codex.

What kind of app is YaoWise?
YaoWise draws on traditional Chinese cultural tools—the six lines of the I Ching and the stem-and-branch calendar—to help you sort through what's happening in your life. It's for reflection and exploration, not for predicting the future.
Do I need to know the I Ching?
No. Write down what's on your mind and tap six times to cast a hexagram. Readings are in plain language, and you can tap a hexagram's name to see the original text.
How are YaoWise readings written?
Readings are written by AI in plain language, based on the situation you describe, and each one is labeled as AI-generated. While reading, tap a hexagram's name or any line to see the original I Ching text. YaoWise keeps evolving based on your feedback.
