Philosophy as a practice - not quotes over sunsets. Pocket Stoa is philosophy for people who actually want to think - not a feed of Stoic quotes over sunset photos. It's the painted porch, in your pocket: a daily practice that asks you to weigh, decide, and reflect. WHAT'S INSIDE Today's Dilemma — A new moral puzzle every day. Make your call, see how the world voted, then read how Marcus Aurelius, Kant, Mill and others would have reasoned it out, each with a line from the primary source. Build a streak. Think a little harder than yesterday. Find Your School — A 15-question quiz that maps you to one of eight traditions: Stoic, Epicurean, Cynic, Aristotelian, Kantian, Utilitarian, Existentialist, or Absurdist. You get a real explanation, a quote to sit with, and a book to read next. The Trolley — Swipe through escalating ethical dilemmas drawn from the canon. Each choice unlocks a short explainer — consequentialism, deontology, virtue ethics, care ethics — and slowly builds a moral profile of how you actually reason. Socratic Dialogue — Step into Socrates' sandals and interrogate an AI interlocutor who holds a fixed belief. Win by exposing the contradiction in their own words. Nothing else on the App Store works like this. The Last Day — A short interactive story: twenty-four hours to live, and every choice quietly reveals what you value. It ends with a portrait of you, matched to a philosopher who'd recognize it. PLUS A DAILY PRACTICE The Examen for nightly reflection, classic thought experiments, a "Who Said It?" attribution game, a daily maxim on your home screen, and a personal library to keep the lines that stay with you. ONE SELF Everything you do feeds a single philosophical profile — a fingerprint of how you think, drawn from every mode. A practice, not a feed. Serious, but never solemn.
