Practice with a gong
Silent sittings and guided rituals with an interval gong, a duration you choose, pause and a visible end. Finishing leads into a short reflection.

What is inside
Little surface, much depth.
Private journal
Entries, reflections and voice notes stay on your device. They are not automatically synchronised or transmitted. Only excerpts you select and explicitly confirm can be sent to DESNAVO AI.
Learning paths
Courses on Hermetics, attention, Tantra, astrology, numerology and Gnosis with lessons, exercises and self-checks. A pathfinder suggests reasoned starting points.
Explanatory tools
Natal chart with a daily impulse, numerology, moon calendar, ritual timing and a sigil workshop. Calculated values, tradition and original work are kept distinct.
DESNAVO AI
Our assistant sees only what you explicitly release and shows it beforehand. With an account and a fixed allowance; replies are generated by an Anthropic language model.

How it works
From intention to the next step.
Intention
“Today” shows a prepared entry point. You choose a concern and a duration that fits your day.
Practice
Silent sitting or guided ritual. The gong carries the time, the controls stay visible, and you can stop at any moment.
Reflection
After the end a short look back, as a journal entry or voice note if you wish, private on your device.
Next learning step
The pathfinder and the learning paths suggest what makes sense next, with reasons and without pressure.

Questions
Briefly answered.
Is DESNAVO available yet?
DESNAVO is in a closed beta. An Android test build goes to a small test group; there is no store release yet. As soon as that changes, you will read it here.
Android or iOS?
The beta runs on Android. iOS will follow; there is no date yet.
Do I need an account?
No. Practice, journal, learning paths and tools work without an account. You need an account only for Together, the marketplace and DESNAVO AI. During the beta, registration requires a personal invitation code.
Where are my journal entries stored?
On your device. Journal, reflections, voice notes and practice history are not automatically synchronised or transmitted. Selected excerpts are sent to DESNAVO AI only after your explicit confirmation. You delete them in the app under “Me”.
What does DESNAVO cost?
The beta is free. Accepted testers receive one year of access. Paid tiers are intended for later and are not active; there are no purchases in the app.
How much DESNAVO AI is included?
A fixed allowance per access, not unlimited chat. The app shows your balance. Only what you explicitly release is sent.
Does the app replace medical or therapeutic help?
No. DESNAVO is a companion for practice and knowledge. In an acute emergency contact the emergency number or a crisis line in your country.
Beta
The first test group is small. Write to us.
A short email is enough: which Android device you have and what interests you about DESNAVO. We will get back to you; during the beta this can take a few days. Access is unlocked with a personal invitation code, not through a public download.
