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 also wanted to clear up a bit of confusion around check-in and routines. you can choose whether you’d like to check in once a day with the daily check-in, or twice a day with morning and evening reflections. to do this, scroll to the bottom of your home screen and tap 'personalize'. as this is likely our last release before the winter holidays, the stoic team would like to wish you a calm and comforting season, spent exactly the way you like it. We hope stoic brings you a few moments of rest and reflection along the way! happy and cozy journaling! m.

dear stoics, this release arrives just in time for last-minute winter holiday gifting! you can now give stoic to someone you care about with a one-year premium ai voucher. it's a thoughtful way to support your loved ones’ mental well-being. we hope your friends and family will come to love stoic just as much as you do. oh, but there’s more! our much-loved widgets have received a refresh — they’re now easier to use and look much better. we’ve also added an option to hide the community check-in counter in preferences, for those of you who prefer to see less numbers on your home screen. that’s all for now but we’ll be back soon with the final release of 2025, so stay tuned! happy journaling! m.

dear stoics, this release brings you a fresh, big batch of daily inspiration content, including new weekly themes, new quotes, and more. we’ve also added some fixes and improvements: you’ll now find check-ins and badges in the journey filters, plus some UI tweaks to give the app a cleaner look. there’s also an important update for anyone using a system older than iOS 17. this will be the last release that delivers new content on those devices. don’t worry, the app will continue to work just fine, but the features and content already available will remain as they are. if this applies to you, you can read more in our help center on our website. happy journaling! m.
