SHAKE UP

One shake. One card. A new perspective.

49 Virtues. 49 Original Drawings. 49 Perspectives on Life.

How it works

1Shake your phone in the morning. One card turns over.
2Read the virtue, the quote and the question it asks you.
3Carry it through your day. Write down what comes up.

One card a day. No re-rolls. The point isn't more cards. It's sitting with the one you got.

49 cards. Each one drawn by hand.

Courage. Letting Go. Trust. Light. Joy. Love. And 43 more. Most people take months to meet all 49. When a card keeps coming back, it has something to say.

Courage 勇气 Letting Go 放下 Trust 信任 Light 光明 Joy 愉悦 Love 爱

The story

I gave my daughter 49 words. She went away and drew them. I'm still amazed by what she came back with. “Proud father” doesn't begin to cover it.

Then I wrote a line for each drawing and laid out the deck. Every image and every word is made by hand. No AI, no stock art. Just a father, a daughter and 49 virtues.

— Kevin

I shook and nothing happened

That's the rule: one card a day, no re-rolls. Today's card is already yours. The countdown under it shows when the next one is ready.

The same card came back

Every shake draws from all 49 cards, so cards return. When one keeps finding you, it has something to say.

I got a new phone

Your cards, notes and journal live only on your phone. They move to a new iPhone when you restore it from your iCloud or computer backup.

Privacy policy

Effective 21 October 2026

The short version

SHAKE UP collects nothing. No account, no tracking, no analytics, no ads. Everything you do in the app stays on your phone.

What stays on your phone

The cards you draw, the dates you draw them, the notes you write, and your settings (language, reminder time). This is stored only on your device. We never receive it, and we can't see it.

Calendar

If you tap “Add to Calendar” or switch on automatic calendar entries, the app adds your card to your Apple Calendar. The app can only add entries. It cannot read, change or delete anything else in your calendar. You can switch this off at any time in the app or in iPhone Settings.

Reminders

The daily reminder is created on your phone. No server, no push service, nothing sent anywhere.

Our website

The app contains a link to kevincares.life. Tapping it opens the website in your browser, outside the app.

Children

SHAKE UP collects no personal information from anyone, including children.

Deleting your data

Swipe left on any journal entry to delete it, or delete the app to remove everything. Calendar entries you added stay in your calendar until you delete them there.

Changes

If this policy changes, the new version will be posted on this page with a new date.
