Every day, one verse from Scripture sits beside one passage from the Stoics: Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, Epictetus. Both answering the same human situation, written centuries and a world apart.
Underneath, four short lines: where the two meet, where they part, what it comes to, and one thing to try today. Nothing here tells you which tradition is right. That part is yours.
WHAT'S INSIDE
- 150 pairings, each one written by hand: a verse, a passage, and four lines that take them seriously without flattening either
- Both corpora in full: the King James Bible, and Meditations, the Moral Letters, and the Enchiridion
- One search across both, so a question you have finds every place either tradition answers it
- Highlights, notes and bookmarks, coloured by theme rather than by yellow-and-green, so why you marked something travels with the mark
- Commitments: one sentence you write yourself, and whether it held
- A home-screen widget, and a daily reminder if you want one
TEN THEMES
Anxiety & Fear, Patience, Gratitude, Courage, Wisdom, Hope, Relationships, What I Can't Control, Life Is Short, Anger
NO ACCOUNT, NO SERVER
There is no sign-in and nothing to subscribe to. There is no analytics, no tracker and no advertising. Everything you write is stored on your own device and nothing is sent to us, because there is nowhere for it to be sent. Your own iCloud or iTunes backup is the only copy that leaves your phone.
PUBLIC DOMAIN, PROPERLY CREDITED
Scripture is the King James Version of 1611. Marcus Aurelius is George Long's translation, Seneca is Richard Mott Gummere's, Epictetus is T. W. Higginson's. The engravings are Gustave Dore's and Giovanni Battista Piranesi's. Every screen that shows a text credits its translator.
