Do you store what I type about my 小人?
No. We explicitly do not store any information related to choosing the 小人 — the energy types you pick never leave your device and are never written to our database.
What is saved in my history?
Only the date of the ritual, the intents (blessings) you chose, and the language you performed it in. Nothing else.
What is 打小人?
A Hong Kong folk ritual, famously performed under the Canal Road flyover, where a paper effigy of your villain is beaten with a slipper to drive away misfortune and invite noble helpers.
Do I need an account?
No. The whole ritual works signed out. An account only adds saved intents, credits and referrals.
What are Xiao Ren credits?
A small thank-you. Share your referral link: when a friend signs up through it, you each receive one free Xiao Ren credit.
How do I delete my history?
Open your account and delete any entry, at any time.
Is this about beating other people?
No. The traditional ritual was outward-facing, aimed at rivals and gossips. Xiao Ren is inward-facing: the paper 小人 stand for the laziness, procrastination, negativity and self-doubt that hold you back. You beat your own inner obstacles, never a person.
