About Oblique Strategies
Oblique Strategies presents a deck of more than one hundred short prompts intended to help people rethink a creative problem. The cards contain questions, constraints, or deliberately indirect suggestions that users interpret in their own way. The app shows one strategy at a time, allowing a prompt to be considered without exposing the whole deck at once. A swipe reveals the next card, and the back control returns to a previously shown strategy. Users can mark cards as favorites; favorites affect how frequently those cards appear. Recurring notifications can deliver prompts at regular intervals, bringing the deck into a user’s daily creative routine. Oblique Strategies is designed as a tool for getting past creative blocks or shifting perspective during artistic or problem-solving work. The prompts are open-ended rather than instructions with a single correct answer, so their value depends on how the user applies them. The app is useful for writers, artists, musicians, and others who want occasional prompts to disrupt a habitual approach or introduce a new constraint. Its simple card interface keeps the focus on reflection and interpretation.
