Questions about Rekha and palm reading

Palmistry is a tradition, not a science. There is no evidence that it predicts events. People enjoy it as a way to reflect on themselves: on how they think, love and work. That is how Rekha presents it, and every reading says so. Read it the way you might read a thoughtful mirror, not a forecast.

Both. Indian texts read a man's right hand and a woman's left. Western palmists read the hand you use most as who you have become, and the other as what you were born with. Rekha photographs and reads both, and tells you which hand each insight comes from. More on left and right hands.

Palmists say some lines change over the years, the minor lines most, and that new ones can appear and fade. You can read again in Rekha whenever you like.

Some hands show a letter M, formed where the heart, head and life lines meet a fate line crossing them. In popular modern palmistry it is read as good intuition and a clear sense of direction. It is a popular reading rather than a classical one, so Rekha reads each of its lines on its own terms. More on the M on the palm.

Samudrika Shastra is the Indian tradition of reading the body's features. Its hand branch, hast rekha, reads the whole hand in an order: both hands, the first impression, fingers, mounts, lines by their Indian names, signs, and the lunar day. Rekha follows that order and sets Western palmistry beside it. Samudrika Shastra explained.

No. Rekha makes no predictions about your years, your body or your future. It describes the features of your hand and how two traditions read them, as reflections on character. It is not medical, money or relationship advice. The daily card offers a small prompt for the day, not a forecast.

An optional part of your reading, off until you turn it on in Settings. It gathers what palmistry traditionally reads about energy, strain and temperament, from the same description of your hand. It is worked out on your phone, nothing extra is sent, and it makes no medical claims. Palmistry is a tradition, not a medical test: if something about your body worries you, see a doctor.

Only your hand. When you tap “Read my hand”, an AI describes the visible features, such as the shape of your palm and fingers, where your lines run and how full your mounts look. Rekha also sends close-ups cut from the same photos on your phone, so finer features such as the finger sections can be seen. The description is made by Claude, from Anthropic, our AI processor. It does not write your reading. Rekha's own rules, on your phone, turn that description into insights. How the Rekha app works.

No. Photos are checked on your phone, sent only when you tap “Read my hand”, are processed to describe your hand, and are never stored on our server: they are held in memory only while your reading is made. Your reading stays on your phone. See how we handle hand photos and the privacy policy.

In the app, open Settings and tap "Delete my data". This removes your photos and your hand description from your phone. Photos are never stored on our server, and the description of your hand is kept only briefly in memory, for at most 24 hours, so there is nothing else to delete. You can delete any time, and read your hand again later if you want to.

No. There is no account, no sign-up and no email address to give. There are also no ads and no tracking. Your reading lives on your phone. If you buy Rekha Plus, the purchase is held by your Apple or Google account, not by us.

Reading your hand is free. You get an overview of your hand, the heart line, one sample insight in every locked section, one free section each day and the daily lunar card. Rekha Plus unlocks your full reading: mind, vitality, fate, fingers, mounts, signs, work and money.

Rekha Plus is $4.99 a year (about 42¢ a month) or $0.99 a month. Or pay $2.99 once to unlock your full reading for good. These are US prices; stores show your local price. Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled. There is no trial that turns expensive.

Cancel any time in your App Store or Google Play account settings. On iPhone: Settings › your name › Subscriptions. On Android: Google Play › Profile › Payments & subscriptions › Subscriptions. You can also open these from Rekha's Settings. Plus stays active until the end of the period you paid for.

Sign in with the same Apple or Google account you bought with. Then open Rekha Plus in the app and tap "Restore purchases". Because there is no Rekha account, your purchase is linked to your store account, so it follows you to any phone signed in to it.

Purchases are made through Apple or Google, so refunds follow their policies, not ours. On iPhone, request one at reportaproblem.apple.com. On Android, use your Google Play order history. If something went wrong in the app, write to support@rekhapalm.com too.

Rekha is on the App Store for iPhone now. It is coming soon to Android, and this site will link to Google Play as soon as it is live. You can also try the four questions on the home page, which read your hand from what you see.

Rekha is made for iPhone and Android phones with a camera. The App Store page lists the current system requirements, and the Google Play page will when Rekha is live on Android. You can also choose photos from your library instead of taking new ones, though a fresh, well-lit photo gives the clearest reading.

Partly. The scan and its photo checks run on your phone, so you can line up good photos anywhere. The reading needs a connection, because your photos are sent to be described when you tap “Read my hand”. Once your reading is done, it is saved on your phone to open again.

English, for now. Indian terms such as Pithru Rekha, the Sthanas and the tithi names appear in transliterated form with English explanations beside them. More languages may follow. If you would like Rekha in your language, write to support@rekhapalm.com.

A free card each morning. An old Indian count moves through the fingers with the tithi, the lunar day. The card points to one finger and one of its three sections, explains what it stands for, and offers a small reflection, with a private journal: “Noted”, or “I did it”.

Rekha is for adults 18 and over who are curious about palmistry, Indian or Western, and enjoy it as a way to reflect. It suits newcomers, since every insight explains what was seen, and people who grew up with hast rekha and want the classical names kept.
