Arete: Daily Practice
Train. Eat. Sit. Reflect.
Only for iPhone
Free
iPhone
Four things a day. Train, eat, sit, reflect.
Arete is a Stoic daily practice in an app. One screen tells you what the day asks of
you. You do it, you note it, you move on. No feed, no streaks to defend, no badges.
TODAY
The whole day on one screen: the session, the meals, the practice, the reflection.
Nothing else competing for your attention.
JOURNAL
An evening reflection and a note on how the day went, in your own words. A short
passage each morning to sit with before you start.
BODY
365 days of training at three levels, beginner through advanced, with a full exercise
library and shorter rotations for travel days or when time is tight. Log sets as you
go. Meals and supplements go in the same place.
MIND
Breathing, stretching and sitting practices with timers. Two minutes or twenty,
depending on the day you're having.
RING & APPLE HEALTH
Optional. Connect to Apple Health to bring your steps, active calories and workouts into
your daily practice, or pair a supported smart ring for heart rate. Those numbers sit next
to the rest of your day. Arete works completely without either.
PROGRESS
Weeks and months at a glance, and reminders at the times you set. Nothing arrives
outside those times.
PRIVACY
Everything you write stays on your device. No account, no sign-up, no analytics, no
advertising, nothing sent to a server. There is nothing for us to see.
Arete is a practice and record-keeping tool. It is not a medical device and does not
diagnose, treat or give medical advice. Talk to a professional about training or diet
if you have any reason to.
Arete now speaks German. Pick your language the first time you open the app, or change it any time under Progress.
All 450 daily reads have been checked: who said what, against the original texts, and every health claim against the published evidence. 78 were corrected. The ones about fasting, cold, breath holds, supplements and protein now say plainly who should not follow them.
