Bring Stoic philosophy into focus with two short daily lessons on a weekly theme, the classical library to read or hear, and exercises to train mind and body.
Stoicism, in your pocket, and entirely yours.
Make the Stoics part of your day. Steady Stoic turns their philosophy into a daily habit you'll actually keep: wisdom to read, hear, and live with two short lessons a day, refreshed with a new theme each week. No account, no sign-up, just open the app and begin. Nothing you do is tracked, and your notes never leave your phone.
Two lessons every day:
Steady Stoic gives you two short lessons each day — one in the morning, one in the afternoon. The morning brings a themed reflection to set your focus; the afternoon, a lesson on the Stoic concept behind it. Each takes only a few minutes, and a home-screen widget keeps the day's lesson a glance away.
A new theme every week:
Every week is built around a single Stoic theme and the core concept beneath it — what's in your control, mastering desire, accepting what happens, the shortness of life, and dozens more. Both of the week's lessons draw from that theme, so the days build on one another instead of arriving at random. The arc opens with the foundations and moves through a two-year cycle that never repeats the same way.
The whole Stoic library:
Read the classics in full: Marcus Aurelius's Meditations, Seneca's Letters, Epictetus's Discourses and Handbook, plus Musonius Rufus, Cicero, and more. Browse by author, work, or concept, and jump from any daily lesson straight to its source.
Listen anywhere:
Tap to hear passages and lessons read aloud in a warm, natural voice, on a walk or focusing with your eyes closed.
Private by design:
No account. No analytics. No ads. Your bookmarks and reflections are stored only on your phone. The app fetches lessons and texts over an encrypted connection without sending any personal information, and the library caches for offline reading.
Marcus Aurelius wrote that the art of living is more like wrestling than dancing: you have to stand ready.
Steady Stoic keeps this philosophy close and the practice simple.
