Dawnstone: Daily Stoic
Daily Stoic quotes & wisdom
Free · In‑App Purchases
Dawnstone shows you one Stoic passage on your Lock Screen each morning — and nothing more.
No feed. No streaks. No badge demanding to be cleared. Just one card, one moment, once a day — a single thought from Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, or Epictetus to carry into your morning.
YOUR LOCK SCREEN, EVERY MORNING — FREE
The full passage becomes your Lock Screen wallpaper through a quick Shortcut you run. It meets you the moment you pick up your phone, without opening anything. Prefer a widget? The small Home Screen widget is free too. The Lock Screen widget and larger sizes come with Pro.
ONE DAILY READING, NOT A FEED
Each day brings one passage, gently modernized from public-domain translations so it reads in a single breath.
MAKE IT YOURS — PRO
Go deeper and make it your own:
• Themes — Dawn, Stone, Water, Mist (light and dark for each)
• The Origin — read the original 19th-century translation, what the authors actually wrote
• Lock Screen widget and larger Home Screen widgets
• Up to four quiet reminder times — morning, midday, evening
• Mac menu bar — today's passage, one click away
• Synced across iPhone, iPad, and Mac via iCloud
SHARE IT YOUR WAY
Send the day's passage as an elegant card — over iMessage, Instagram, Photos, or AirDrop — in the exact theme and reading length you chose.

Dawnstone now asks you once, gently, whether you'd like today's passage as a quiet notification each morning. You can change the time or turn it off anytime in Settings. Also: small wording fixes in Portuguese and German.
