Strategies: Creative-prompt cards for music producers

An iOS app with creative-prompt cards for music producers. Each card pairs two ideas at a controllable "cognitive distance," so the prompts stay sharp instead of blurring after the tenth one. A daily card, new set of cards monthly, a streak that unlocks real decks, and custom decks you author yourself. Works offline. EN + UA.

Hey PH 👋 I'm the (solo) maker. As electronic music produccer, I've used Brian Eno's Oblique Strategies for years to get inspiration and to unstuck in the studio. So the problem: after enough draws, the prompts blur. Your brain learns the deck and the surprise (creativity) dies. Strategies fixes that with a second layer. Instead of one instruction, each card pairs two ideas at a tunable cognitive distance: close pairs nudge, far pairs jolt. You pick the tension; the algorithm picks the friction. ~360 cards, two built-in decks, a daily card, and custom decks you can author. Built solo, nights and weekends around a full-time job. Not a feed, not gamified - a tool you use alone. EN + UA. I'm here all day — tell me the one card that shifts your session, or where it falls short. That's the feedback I want most.

finally an app that doesn't get stale after a few prompts. The cognitive distance slider is genuinely clever, makes you pair things you wouldn't normally put together.

Awesome concept, big congrats on the launch! The tunable cognitive distance idea is genuinely clever for keeping prompts fresh.
