Alter – AI Philosophical Counseling for Meaning, Purpose & Self-Understanding Alter is the first AI app built for philosophical counseling. It helps you make sense of life’s hardest questions—around meaning, values, grief, purpose, and decisions—by guiding you through timeless wisdom and evidence-based reflection practices. Alter – AI Philosophical Counseling for Meaning, Purpose & Self-Understanding Alter is the first AI app designed for philosophical counseling — not self-help gimmicks or daily quotes, but structured, reflective sessions that help you navigate life’s hardest questions: Who am I becoming? What truly matters to me? How do I live with purpose, clarity, and integrity? Rooted in practical philosophy and modern cognitive science, Alter creates a space to think deeply, clarify your values, and build inner strength — one meaningful session at a time. WHY ALTER IS DIFFERENT Most mental wellness apps help you feel better. Alter helps you *understand yourself better*. It’s built on the methods of philosophical counseling — a rigorous, reflective practice that helps you explore purpose, identity, emotions, and decision-making through dialogue, self-examination, and timeless ideas. This isn’t therapy. This isn’t coaching. This is your space to think through life with clarity — guided by structured prompts, meaningful journaling, and AI-powered sessions rooted in wisdom. WHO IT’S FOR - Questioning your direction, goals, or identity - Dealing with grief, uncertainty, or emotional blocks - Seeking more than surface-level positivity - Wanting to live by your values, not just your habits - Looking to reconnect with meaning, discipline, and inner focus WISDOM THAT WORKS Alter distills real philosophical traditions — from the Stoics to the Existentialists, from Eastern wisdom to modern psychology — into guided practices that help you make sense of life, emotions, and change. These are tools for thinking clearly, living deliberately, and facing what matters. SUBSCRIPTION & PRIVACY A subscription unlocks all features, with a 7-day free trial on the annual plan.

Very helpful!

I initially wrote a negative review regarding an issue I had with a refund for the subscription. I was not able to cancel my trial period before the subscription went through and unfortunately due to Apple’s policies, I wasn’t able to receive a refund despite not using the app after the payment went through. I reached out to the developers who were very helpful and we were able to come to a resolution despite the issue with Apple’s policies. I am looking forward to exploring the app a bit more since I was very impressed with it during my trial. As someone who is a big supporter of incorporating stoic and philosophical ideas into my life, I think this is a great tool to get you thinking about life through a different perspective.

I can’t say enough great things about this app! First the journeys that discover new thoughts and ideas really helped me to broaden my values and virtues! They offer insight to help with modern day issues and make you question your actions and values. The chat feature is INSANE. I can really converse with Socrates and it’s not static and boring. The chat feature also goes by the way the philosopher would actually communicate. I’m amazed that I can actually learn from talking to an ai, but it feels like I’m really talking to the person. It feels really personal which stuns me. I’m really grateful for the developers for making this great app! I wish the best of luck to y’all!

Daily Session Crash + Lockout
08/14/2025

Mike Mongeau
I like this app, but I think I would love it if on several occasions, I've had the daily session essentially just crash and way before the time is up (maybe a minute or a couple of minutes in). I don't even realize this. I'm just kind of mid-thought speaking and then I have to wait a whole another 24 hours before doing it again. I don't like the fact that it's locked out to 24 hours from the last time I did it. It should just be a reset at midnight every night, and then I can choose when to do it during the next day. Some nights I do it earlier and some nights I can't do it later. On the nights that I do it later, I hate that I'm then locked to the later portion of the day. It doesn't make any sense. Devs get it together, change the reset period and stop crashing during the daily conversations. Also please add Ayn Rand as a philosopher.

This app is amazing! Excellent interface. What I like most is how it takes philosophical ideas and makes them easy to understand. Also, the list of philosophers is incredible, from classical Stoics like Marcus Aurelius and Epictetus to moderns like Kierkegaard and Frankl to Ben Franklin and Lao Tsu. The journaling prompts are thought provoking, and the classic art is wonderful just by itself. Stoicism is a philosophy that’s meant to be lived, and this app is structured perfectly for just that. I’ve tried all of the stoic and journaling apps, and this one is my favorite. Kudos for the developers for doing an excellent job!! Highly recommended!!

We polished a few rough edges, fixed some bugs, and made overall improvements across the app. Everything should feel a bit smoother, a bit faster, and a bit more helpful on your path to clarity.
