Lock distracting apps until you face your remaining time. Daily Stoic practice for people who refuse to waste the only life they get. Face time. Confront mortality. Live with intention. Tempus turns classical Stoic wisdom into a daily practice: your distracting apps stay locked until you face how little time you have left—then you choose how to spend it. TEMPUS LOCK (Subscription Required) Pick the apps that steal your attention. Tempus keeps them locked with Screen Time until you complete today’s confrontation. One clear ritual. Then your apps unlock for the day. Optional emergency unlock when you truly need it. YOUR LIFE CLOCK (Subscription Required) Set your birthdate and life expectancy (or use country-based estimates). Your Life Clock shows remaining years, days, and heartbeats. Tap the hourglass for Tempus Fugit—a short, mindful confrontation with finite time. No guilt. No drama. Just clarity. A DAILY PRACTICE (Subscription Required) Build a streak as showing up becomes habit, not willpower. Tempus doesn’t tell you how to live—it helps you remember that time is limited so you can act on what matters. CURATED STOIC QUOTES (Subscription Required) Hundreds of quotes from Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, and Epictetus on equanimity, discipline, purpose, and mortality. Browse by topic or mood, save favorites, and build collections. Add your own quotes and reflections. WIDGETS & DAILY REMINDERS (Subscription Required) Put a Stoic quote on your Lock Screen or Home Screen. Choose atmospheric themes—ruins, ocean, forest, desert, and more. Optional daily notifications bring a moment of reflection into your routine. Ancient wisdom. Built for how you live now. ——————————————— Subscription & Pricing ——————————————— Tempus offers the following auto-renewable subscriptions and one-time purchase. Prices are in USD and may vary by territory. • Tempus Annual Subscription — 1 year — $14.99 / year (includes a 1-week free trial; $14.99 is charged when the trial ends unless canceled) • Tempus Lifetime Access — one-time non-renewing purchase — $29.99 Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase (or at the end of any free trial, unless canceled at least 24 hours before the trial ends).

Good but room for improvement

I purchased the app rather than the subscription. The background options are beautiful and many of the quotes are worth remembering; however, I wish that when I tapped a notification (especially when I really like the quote) it took me to the app with that quote appearing so that I could make a note or heart it. Right now, when I tap the notification, it opens to a new quote. Also when I went to write notes (still learning) it said the name of a different app which I found strange. Otherwise I’m excited to have this as a great daily prompt to reflect.

• Tempus Lock — protect distracting apps until you complete today’s confrontation • Hardened daily ritual: apps lock → Tempus Fugit → unlock for the day • Refreshed onboarding built around goals, Screen Time, and your first confrontation • Subscription access with a free trial so you can try the full practice • Fixed some minor UI/UX issue users reported including tapping quotes from notifications opening up and showing on the home screen.
