About Sign of the Times
Sign of the Times reads your signature — the actual ink — and tells you what it says about you. Not astrology. No birth dates, no star signs, no planets. Your signature is the most rehearsed gesture you own, and it's measured right on your phone: slant, baseline, pressure, stroke weight, pen lifts, size, whether you underline your own name. Those measurements — and nothing else — drive the read. WHAT YOU GET Photograph your signature, pick it from your library, or turn your phone sideways and sign the whole screen. Then: • Your signature type — one of nine, each tied to a measurable stroke pattern • Six scored traits: Confidence, Drive, Warmth, Precision, Creativity, Independence • Five reads on your actual life: how you come across, how much room you take, what you're like under pressure, how you connect, how you finish things • The measurements themselves, plainly labeled, so you can see exactly what the read is built on • Your best and your worst, the famous person with your exact energy, and a share card built for the group chat EVERY MORNING Sign your name and get your day scored out of 10 — with the reason, in plain language, based on how your hand showed up today versus your own previous mornings. It's an observation, not a forecast. Streaks and a 14-day trend included. VIBE CHECK Two signatures on one phone gets the two of you read together: a match score, your roles as a pair, where you click, where you clash, and what to do about it. Partner, friend, sibling, coworker. MEASURED, THEN WRITTEN Your strokes are measured on-device with real image analysis. The writing is in plain human language — you never have to read a degree or a percentage unless you want to. The measurements panel on every read shows exactly what went in. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything stays on your device. No accounts, no tracking, no ads. Your signature is never stored on our servers. FIRST READ FREE Pro — one purchase, yours forever — unlocks unlimited reads, the daily score, and Vibe Check. Launch price for the first 100 people. One honest note: this is for entertainment and self-reflection. Handwriting analysis isn't a validated science, and nothing here is medical, hiring, or legal advice.
What’s new
Version 1.0.1 · Updated October 4, 2026
Your signature, read more sharply — this update rebuilds the analysis from the strokes up. • Steadier results: your trait scores and daily score now come straight from your own strokes, so the same signature reads the same every time. • Clearer reading of photos, even with shadows, lined paper, or a slight tilt. • Signing on screen now picks up your tempo and pressure, not just the shape. • Share your whole daily read with a friend, not just the number. • Tell us when a read nails it — or misses — right from the results.
