A peer-to-peer astrological companion. Zodia connects you with people who share meaningful chart alignments — no accounts, no servers - just enabling technology for people with an interest in astrology.

How it works

Zodia announces a coarse astrological fingerprint (solar month + approximate location) to a local gossip network. Nearby peers with compatible aspects appear in the Network view. Adding someone opens a direct encrypted channel where you exchange exact birth data by mutual consent, compute synastry, and can chat or call.

Everything stays between you and the people you choose to connect with thanks to p2panda's most eloquent networking toolbox.

Data & privacy

Your data is yours. Zodia stores birth details, chat history, and interpretations locally on your device only. Nothing is uploaded to any server.

You choose what you share. The Tier-0 announce reveals only your solar month and a rough location prefix (~600 km). Exact birth data is only exchanged over a direct encrypted connection, and only after you explicitly connect with someone.

Connections are your responsibility. Because there is no central authority, Zodia cannot verify the identity of peers. Any information you share over a connection is shared at your own discretion. The software is provided as-is, without warranty of any kind — see the license.
