Oblique Strategies displaying a single creative prompt in yellow on a blue screen.

Oblique Strategies

This is a digital remake of Brian Eno and Peter Schmidt’s Oblique Strategies, a collection of prompts for approaching creative problems from unexpected angles. Built around that original idea, this version gives the cards a cleaner interface designed for quick, uninterrupted use.

Each card puts a single prompt in front of you. Press the spacebar to advance, pause on an idea, and bring it back to whatever you are making. It is a small interruption to familiar habits, ready when you need a different way into the work.
