"I examine my entire day and go back over what I have done and said, hiding nothing from myself, passing nothing by," is how Seneca described his nightly practice. Today, we are taking the next step in the development of the "Prosoche · Time Tracking" feature by adding the Activity History. Every passing day is time that already belongs to death. But how exactly did we surrender this day? Previously, we gave you a tool to track the present moment. Now, we are giving you the ability to answer this question by taking an honest look at your past. The new feature saves your continuous timeline of attention into a clear, visual chronology. We have remained true to our principles: the history is absolutely immutable. You cannot delete a session or adjust the time to make your day look more "productive." If you spent three hours on empty entertainment or forgot to switch the timer, it will remain in your ledger forever. Looking at such a history can be uncomfortable. The immutability of the data means you will come face to face with wasted hours. But it is precisely in this discomfort that the point of growth lies. A Stoic does not avert their gaze from their mistakes. They accept them as a given fact and use them as material for evening self-reflection, in order to be more attentive tomorrow. The history of your time is not a tool for self-criticism. It is your personal philosophical diary, written in the language of actions. The update is already available in Aurelius. Open your history tonight and hold an honest trial of your day.

"Nothing, Lucilius, is ours, except time," wrote Seneca two thousand years ago. Today, after months of hard work, we are introducing a major update to Aurelius: the new feature "Prosoche · Time Tracking". This is not just another productivity tracker, but a digital embodiment of an ancient Stoic practice — continuous attention to where our life slips away. Aurelius already features the Memento Mori practice, reminding us of life's finitude. But contemplating death is meaningless if we do not realize how we spend each specific hour. In his first letter to Lucilius, Seneca admits to keeping a strict "ledger" of his time. He delivers a harsh verdict: the most shameful loss of time is the one caused by our own negligence. It is exactly this negligence — when we fail to notice how three hours have passed — that our new tool cures. For a practicing Stoic, attention (prosoche) is the foundation. Our time tracker acts as an impartial witness to your day: only one task can be active at any given moment, and the timeline has no gaps. We deliberately removed the ability to edit your history. If you forget to switch the timer and find yourself with "five hours of eating," it will remain in your ledger forever. Why? Because a Stoic takes responsibility for the past by learning from it, not by erasing it with an eraser. This tool strips away illusions. When you see the real numbers, the need for self-flagellation or the pursuit of "efficiency" fades away — leaving only a clear understanding of where your most valuable resource goes. The feature is now available in Aurelius. Choose your first activity — and let your continuous timeline of attention begin from this very second.

Focus without distraction. Live Activities in Aurelius. Stoicism requires presence. Smartphones demand our attention. We’ve solved this conflict in the latest Aurelius update. Now, your active practice is always visible — right on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. Start a reflection, lock your screen, and focus on what matters. A strict, monochrome widget will display the remaining time and a philosophical anchor, protecting you from mindless scrolling when checking the time. "Nothing contributes so much to tranquilizing the mind as a steady purpose" — Seneca.

A full cycle of mindfulness. Aurelius update. "Let no act be done without a purpose, nor otherwise than according to the perfect principles of art." — Marcus Aurelius. Your practice is now with you from dawn to dusk. We’ve updated Aurelius to help you build the perfect daily routine. It all starts in the evening: turn on the new evening planning in the settings, and the app will gently prompt you to prepare for tomorrow. This simple action frees the mind and sets the right course. And from the very morning, the updated "Today" tab will greet you. We’ve brought your plan to the most prominent screen and removed everything unnecessary. Just your practices and readiness for action. One tap — and you proceed to execution. Keep your focus on what matters.

Less reading, more doing. The Aurelius Update. We spent a lot of time thinking about how to help you not just read Marcus Aurelius, but actually act like him. The result of these reflections is the new "Practice" tab, available in our latest update. Now, Aurelius helps you consciously plan your day (for today or tomorrow), turning philosophy into a real foundation for your life. What’s inside?  Ready-made plans: Choose the philosophical "Stoic Armor" before a tough workday, or the "Beginner’s Path" for a gentle start. Your own path: Build and save your own unique sets of practices. Peace of mind (Apatheia): No strict deadlines or aggressive notifications. Just your personal choice. An important limitation: you can schedule no more than 3 practices per day. We believe it’s better to execute one practice deeply and mindfully than to mindlessly check off ten. Character is forged by quality, not quantity.

Minor visual improvements

New in Aurelius — the "Path" screen, reimagined. In this update we've redesigned the "Path" screen and added a dedicated info page that explains what the section is truly for. "Path" doesn't reward streaks or count achievements. It shows your work on the four cardinal virtues and the four passions over a sliding window of the last seven days — and only those days. Past merits hold no power; what matters is where your attention rests now. The new info page lays out the philosophy behind it: a sliding window instead of an endless archive, attention instead of a verdict, constancy instead of a one-time burst. An empty circle is a mirror, not a sentence. Virtue cannot be stored up — it is confirmed anew each day.

In this update, we deepened the way you work with Aurelius. Now, after every question and answer, your dialogue is automatically saved so you can return to it anytime and reread everything in a calm setting. This is especially helpful when you want to find an important thought again, revisit a phrase that resonated, or reconnect with the state of mind you brought into the conversation. Your story no longer gets lost in the flow of the day - it stays close, like a personal space for reflection. This way, you see not only individual answers, but also your inner dynamics: which themes repeat, which questions become clearer, and which ones finally let go. Over time, this history becomes your living path with Aurelius - consistent, honest, and deeply personal.

We are pleased to present a major update for Aurelius. Artificial Intelligence with the Soul of a Philosopher. What runs on your device is not just a standard neural network. We took an advanced local Foundation Model and created a unique "Stoic Adapter" for it, absorbing the immortal works of Marcus Aurelius. The result is the illusion of a genuine dialogue across millennia, where you receive answers imbued with the wisdom of ancient Stoicism, rather than generic internet advice. Technical Features. * Absolute Privacy. The model runs entirely on your device. Your deepest thoughts and questions are never sent to servers and remain yours alone. * Freedom and Autonomy. The AI works without the internet and is absolutely free (it only consumes battery power). * Fine-tuning the character. You can control Aurelius's 'mood' before asking a question. Use the strict mode to receive blunt Stoic truths without embellishment, or choose an empathetic philosophical tone for comfort and deep metaphorical reflections on the nature of the universe. An Important Reminder.  This algorithm is a wise companion, but not a replacement for your own willpower. True Stoicism requires personal effort. Do not let a screen replace your actual spiritual practice. This is exactly why our app provides an extensive list of Stoic techniques for daily execution and tools for keeping a reflection journal. Use "Aurelius" as a compass, but you must walk the path yourself, relying on your own reason.

Smart Practice Sorting No more searching for your favorite exercises! Practice lists are now sorted automatically: the techniques you've performed recently will always stay at the top. Improved "Today" Screen We've reworked how your daily entries are displayed. The moments list now updates even more accurately and reliably when the day changes. Quick Access to Practice History On a practice's detail screen, you no longer need to tap a button to expand your history. Your recent entries for that technique are now displayed immediately to help you track your progress. UI Fixes & Improvements Fixed a bug where Memento Mori history might display incorrectly. Updated the design of "Favorite" entries for a cleaner, more minimalist look. Various under-the-hood optimizations for smoother performance.

We continue to refine Aurelius so your journal remains a reliable tool for reflection. In this update, we have added the features you asked for: • Edit entries: expand on your thoughts and refine past reflections. • Favorites: keep your most important thoughts close for quick access. • Delete entries: remove what is no longer relevant. We have also polished the visuals and fixed minor bugs so nothing distracts you from what matters.
