About
Tarot Classic 1909 is an Android app that preserves the original 1909 Rider-Waite-Smith (RWS) public-domain deck card for card. Card images are sourced from the Wikimedia Commons "Roses & Lilies" 1909 originals, and meaning text is based on A. E. Waite’s The Pictorial Key to the Tarot (1910, public domain). Readings can be handed off to ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude in a single tap via the standard Android share intent — no subscription, no API key, no extra cost required to get a richer interpretation.
