dear stoics, a big one this time: stoic now offers lifetime access - pay once and it's yours for good. you'll find it right next to the usual plans. here's what else is new: - ideas are now quotes - same tab, a name that finally says what it is. - we redesigned the personalization and customization screens, so making stoic truly yours is clearer and easier. - fixed a bug that made reflections impossible to reorder, and sorted out the first day of your journey not showing up right. thanks for all the notes you send our way - keep them coming. stay tuned! happy journaling! m.

dear stoics, a little summer refresh for you. fresh daily prompts for july and august are now in - new sparks for your summer reflections. we've also fixed a crash on the newsletter screen for those of you on older ios and mac versions, and sorted out ai features that were sometimes replying in a random language - they now stick to one that makes sense. thanks, as always, for telling us what's not working - it's how these get caught. stay tuned! happy journaling! m.

dear stoics, this update brings a brand new way to stay connected with us. here's what's new: - you can now sign up for our newsletter right from the app — find it in your profile. subscribe and you'll even unlock a special badge for it. - we've added deeplinks to weekly themes and library categories, so you can jump straight to your favorite content from links we share. - fixed a handful of crashes: one when rating journal templates, one in the meditation setup flow, and one when picking journaling suggestions. also fixed mood check-in editing not showing up correctly in your journey. Probably no need to mention because that's done with every release, but we've also included some more or less minor fixes to keep the app going bug-free. till next time! happy journaling, m.

dear stoics, only good things coming your way with this one. a lot has changed, so let's get to it right away: - added a new batch of weekly themes with daily prompts as thought-provoking as ever. - improved ai check-in reactions - the encouragements you get after a check-in now work across all your metrics, custom ones included. - made journaling prompts smarter - ai prompts now read the room much better as they adapt to the category you're writing in and the time of day, etc. - fixed a few things such as: infinite loading during check-ins on older ios versions, dark/light mode for pop-up images, meditation problems (completion stats, animations), and some recurring crashes here and there. we hope this update makes your journaling more satisfying and calming, especially during mental health awareness month. take care of your minds and till the next time! happy journaling, m.

dear stoics, every once in a while, we release an update focused purely on fixing small bugs. they might be minor, but sometimes even little things can make the stoic experience feel less… stoic. this is one of those updates. so, we’ve fixed a few issues, added some upcoming mindful events, and made improvements behind the scenes to help the app run smoothly, crash-free, and most importantly — frustration-free. happy journaling! m.

dear stoics, we have a new release ready for you — as always, packed with goodies. this time, we’ve added a new batch of content (specifically, new weekly themes for your daily dose of journaling inspiration). but the two most important updates are: - a fix for a bug that kept mislabeling your journaling templates - a new and improved look for emotions check-ins, with more emotions to choose from and new short guided journals to help you reflect more deeply on your state of mind. we hope these changes improve your journaling flow in the best way. more updates are coming so talk to you very soon! happy journaling! m.

dear stoics, this week’s release puts the focus on focus! that’s right — we’ve upgraded and refreshed the way you choose your focus during morning preparation and daily check-in. it’s now clearer, handier, and way nicer to use. deciding what you want to focus on gives your day intention, which helps you stay on track with your habits, get out of a rut or that annoying aimlessness we all feel sometimes. if you haven’t used this feature yet, give it a try! as always, we’ve also made a few small fixes and behind-the-scenes improvements. so, until next time! happy journaling! m.

dear stoics, dropping off a new update! this one brings quite a handful of improvements and important fixes. let’s start with what’s new: - redesigned and improved voice memos: we’ve upgraded the voice memos experience, so recording spoken journal entries should be smoother, easier, and more reliable. - nicer first check-in experience: we’ve improved the first check-in flow. although this mainly concerns our new users, we figured — why not mention it here. what have we fixed? - an issue that could cause the app to freeze for some users, - a bug that could lead to data loss in daily routines. we also want to say thanks for all your feedback; it genuinely helps us improve stoic and make it as bug-free as possible! happy journaling! m.

dear stoics, we’re back with new updates and improvements! this time, we focused on redesigning the journaling flows to make them more consistent and easier to navigate. here's the tip: look at the buttons on the top of the journal screens. along with that, we’ve included some smaller fixes for minor issues we noticed along the way, all to give you a smoother and more enjoyable journaling experience. see you soon, because there’s more to come! happy journaling! m.

dear stoics, we’re back with a small but important update. this release fixes a temporary issue with stoic shield — everything should now be working smoothly again. we’ve also restored your morning and evening routine settings to how you had them before.

We hope stoic brings you a few moments of rest and reflection along the way! happy and cozy journaling! m.
