When the pace of life gets too fast, it can be hard to find a moment to check in with yourself. Stoic will guide you to make time for self-care.

Besides the central space to journal about your successes, failures and frustrations, Stoic also offers daily quotes from philosophers to inspire you, and includes visualisation rituals to encourage gratitude.

Strip back the philosophical stuff and Stoic relies fundamentally on the power of routine and consistency. Set reminders and Stoic will prompt you to record your feelings every morning and evening. You’ll also be able to set the duration time for meditation and journal your thoughts after.

In the mornings, indicate your mood on a visual chart, or write a few sentences about your intentions for the day. In the evening, write about the habits you curbed, temptations you resisted and how you could have been kinder.

You can customise the quotes you see when you open the app by picking your preferred school of philosophy: Buddhism, Taoism, Catholicism or even the app’s namesake, Stoicism.

Over time, and with a bit of discipline from you, Stoic will become an interactive journal full of your intentions, goals and self-reflections, that will help you see your life more clearly.

In the words of the Stoic Epictetus: “Don’t explain your philosophy. Embody it.”
