The full guide to running a routine end to end. Tap None or Workflow below for its complete instructions. Force, Real, Birthday, and Normal are blocks you add inside a Workflow. You can reopen this anytime from Settings.

Got it

What it does. Nothing is armed. Searching your code, tapping the last result, and tapping X loads no performance. Searches stay genuinely real, nothing is sent to your Peek Screen, and the silent confirmation text does not change. You can still open Settings with scroll ↓.

When to use it. This is your safe resting state between routines. Leave Mode as None, and handing the phone around cannot start a workflow. Switch to Workflow in Settings, then Save, only in the moment right before you actually want a performance to load.

Why the hero text doesn't change here. The private "2,037 → your code" confirmation (see Getting Started) only ever appears while a workflow step is genuinely running. In None, it never shows, even if someone searches your code and closes the database.

Switching modes. Settings → choose your mode with the mode buttons at the top → Save. You don't need to re-arm afterward. The next time that device searches your code and taps the last result, Workflow will load if that is what you saved.

What it does. Whatever digits a spectator's device searches, the result shown is one you've set in advance: a chosen position in pi, with your own digits planted directly before and after the search, so it reads as a completely genuine occurrence. Forever Mode builds those surrounding digits from the search itself, as a sequence you can continue mentally.

Setting it up. Settings → Workflow → New or edit a workflow. Under This workflow's 4 Force searches you'll see four groups, one for each Force block you can drop into the sequence. Expand any group to reveal Forever (Off, Twin sum, or Seed wheel) and up to 4 rows. Each row has a Position box, a Before box, and an After (STRING) box.

Position box. Type the exact digit position in pi you want the spectator's search anchored to. Leave it empty (it'll show a grey "POS" hint) and that row uses the spectator's real position instead, genuinely wherever their digits actually occur in pi, no configuration needed.

Before box. Type the digits you want to appear directly before the spectator's search (numbers only, plus X and Y shorthand. See below). Leave it empty (grey "BEFORE" hint) and the row shows whatever digits genuinely sit before that position in real pi instead.

After box (STRING). Type the digits you want to appear directly after the spectator's search. Leave it empty (grey "STRING" hint) and the row shows whatever digits genuinely follow that position in real pi instead.

Forever Mode. Auto-fills Before and After from whatever the spectator searches, so the digits around the match are a sequence you can continue in your head. Different every time. Position still works as normal. Saved Before and After are kept, but ignored while Forever is on, and come back if you switch it Off.

Twin sum. Row 1 (the main hit): add digits 1 and 2 of the search, keep only the units digit, then keep adding the last two digits of the growing number. Rows 2, 3, and 4 start on 2+3, 3+4, and 4 wrapping to 1, so the four cards do not share the same neighbours. Before each row reverse-twins from that same pair (right minus left; if below 0, add 10). Example for 6489, Row 1 continues 09987527... Practice drills Row 1.

Seed wheel. After the search: add the digits of the search in order, looping, to the latest digit, keep only the units. Row 1 starts by adding digit 1. Rows 2, 3, and 4 start on digits 2, 3, and 4. Before: subtract those digits in reverse from that starting point. Example for 6489, Row 1 continues 59762643... Practice drills Row 1.

Mix and match freely. Position, Before, and After are entirely independent per row when Forever is Off. Force any combination, or leave any of them genuine. Empty always uses real pi.

Why 4 rows per Search. Row 1 is what's actually planted and shown as the main "found" result. Rows 2–4 are optional extra "also found at position…" cards shown underneath, for texture, genuinely useful if you want the sequence to appear to occur several times. Leave any of rows 2–4 completely empty and it's simply skipped.

X / Y shorthand. Works in both Before and After. After some digits, X repeats what came immediately before it, and Y repeats it reversed. E.g. typing 47X gives "4747"; typing 47XX gives "474747"; typing 47Y gives "4774".

How it plays out live. A Force 1 block fires the first Force group, Force 2 the second, and so on. Each Force number can only be used once per workflow. After the last block has fired, the device is no longer armed. Search your code and tap the last result again to start a new routine.

Practice. With Twin sum or Seed wheel on, turn Practice on and tap Practice. You get a random 4-digit number and are asked for the next digit, on an on-screen keypad. A correct tap flashes green and moves on. A miss flashes red and you try again. Two misses in a row on the same step shows the answer. Tap Continue to go to the next digit. Practice drills Row 1 of whichever Forever formula that Force group is set to.

They stay saved. Force 1 through Force 4 are stored on this account with the workflow. Reopening Settings, editing the sequence, or hitting Save at the bottom will not wipe them. They last until you change them.

What it does. Nothing is forced or planted. The search a spectator's device runs is completely genuine, real pi, start to finish. What makes it useful is that the position it's found at, and a run of digits continuing after it, are quietly sent to your Peek Screen live, as they type, before they've even pressed Search.

Setting it up. Settings → Workflow → New or edit a workflow. Set Digits after on the workflow (12 by default), then add one or more Real blocks to the sequence. Each Real block covers one spectator search.

Why it's convincing. Because absolutely nothing is planted, there's no risk of a mismatch or a spectator double-checking and finding something odd. The underlying data is entirely legitimate. The effect comes purely from you appearing to know what's about to be found before it's revealed, which you genuinely can, by reading it off your own Peek Screen a moment beforehand.

Live-as-you-type detail. Unlike a Force block, you don't need the spectator to finish typing or press Search at all. While a Real block is next, every keystroke updates your Peek Screen in real time, so you can start reacting the instant enough digits are in to be useful.

What it does. Chains multiple steps into one continuous routine. Mix Normal, Real, Birthday, and up to 4 different Force setups in any order you like. Each search the spectator's device makes advances automatically to the next step.

Building one. Settings → choose Workflow → New Workflow. Give it a name, set Digits after (used by any Real or Birthday steps in this workflow), then add steps in order using the block picker.

The four block types:
• Normal. An ordinary genuine search, nothing sent anywhere. A breather step.
• Real. Live-streams the genuine position and continuing digits to your Peek Screen as they type. See the Real blocks guide for the full details.
• Birthday. Reads a date from the search. Default is DD/MM/YY. Turn on USA mode in Settings for MM/DD/YY. Turn on YY off and they only need four digits (DD/MM or MM/DD); the peek then shows days since birthday and a likely star sign, not a weekday. If the digits aren't a valid date, it falls back to a plain real reveal.
• Force 1–4. Each number is its own independent Position / Before / After setup, configured in the workflow editor. See the Force blocks guide for the full details on those fields.

Position force. Separate from Force blocks, and not a step in the sequence. Arm as normal, then Jump to digit in the database plants the digits you have set, instead of showing real pi at that spot. Clicking any homepage result does the same, including a genuine Real or Normal card, not only a Force result. Homepage search is unchanged. It can fire at any point in the routine, including after you open a result, as many times as you have slots filled, in order. After those jumps, Jump shows real pi again.

Under This workflow's 4 Position forces, each row is one jump. Type 1 to 20 digits. 1 digit appears at the jumped position. 2 to 9, or 11 to 19: tap which digit of that string lands on the jumped position, and the rest fill around it. 10 digits fill the half of the line the position falls in. 20 digits fill the whole line. Only the jumped digit is highlighted in the database. Leave a row empty to skip it. They stay saved with the workflow. Filling Force 1 through Force 4 above does not run those searches on its own: add each one to the block sequence with + Force.

Running it. Arm as normal. Search your code, tap the bottom result, tap X. The workflow's steps run in the exact order you built them, one per spectator search. After the last block, the device is no longer armed.

Choosing which workflow is live. Settings → select Workflow as your mode → pick the one you want from your saved workflows.
