A Stoic quotes app that respects your time
Stoic Mind sends you one Stoic quote a day — Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, Epictetus, the whole bench — and translates each one into plain English so you actually get the point. No feed, no streaks, no notifications begging for your attention. Read it, think about it, get on with your day.
Underneath the quotes there's a memento mori: your whole life drawn as a grid of weeks, the lived ones filled in. It sounds bleak. It's the opposite. Hard to sweat the small stuff when you can see, in one glance, how few weeks you've got left to waste. A calmer mind, gently enforced. Use as directed.

FAQ
The things people actually ask before installing.
What is Stoicism?+
Stoicism is a 2,000-year-old philosophy about focusing on what you can control and letting go of what you can’t. Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, and Epictetus are the big names. It’s had a modern revival because, frankly, it’s practical: less doom-scrolling your own thoughts, more getting on with it.
Is Stoic Mind free?+
Yes. Download it on iPhone or Android and you get a daily Stoic quote, the life-in-weeks calendar, and favourites for free. Pro is a one-time purchase (no subscription) that adds plain-English explanations on every quote, an ad-free experience, unlimited favourites, and up to five reminders a day.
Where do the quotes come from?+
Thousands of quotes from the actual Stoics — Marcus Aurelius’ Meditations, Seneca’s letters, Epictetus’ Discourses, plus Zeno, Musonius Rufus, and others. Each one is attributed, and most come with a plain-English read so you don’t need a classics degree.
What is the life-in-weeks calendar?+
It’s a memento mori: your whole life drawn as a grid of weeks, with the ones you’ve already lived filled in. It sounds morbid; it’s actually clarifying. Hard to sweat the small stuff when you can see exactly how many weeks are left.
Do I have to get a notification every day?+
Only if you want one. The daily quote is there when you open the app — notifications are optional, and you choose the time. No streaks to guilt you, no badges to chase.
What’s in Stoic Mind Pro?+
A one-time purchase, no subscription. Pro unlocks the plain-English explanation on every quote, removes ads, gives you unlimited favourites, and up to five daily reminders instead of one. The daily quote and the calendar stay free.
