A [[Metaphysical App]] is a smartphone app that has a supernatural function. They're usually found in [[Urban Fantasy]], where they can be a major part of the plot or just another aspect of the setting.The most common form of such an app is [[Post-Modern Magik|a magic product being applied through technology]]. The more rare form is [[Clarke's Third Law|an advanced form of technology that resembles magic]].
Whether those apps are [[Magic From Technology]] or the newest version of [[Magitek]] may vary according to the setting. Be careful that a [[Technopath]] doesn't put their hand on a phone that contains one of these.
