APP
OF THE
DAY
stoic. journal & mental health
diary, mood & habit tracker
This app encourages you to overcome your fears and obstacles using a surprisingly ancient approach: the wisdom of the Greek Stoics.
What we love: The journaling feature offers straightforward writing prompts like “What’s something you did well recently?” The mindfulness exercises—including guided walking meditations and breathing exercises—are refreshingly simple. Plus, each day the app shares the wisdom of a Stoic philosopher, like Seneca and Epictetus.
Quick tip: Not feeling it with the ancient Greeks? The app also includes inspirational quotes from Buddhist, Taoist, and Catholic texts. To switch it up, tap your profile icon in the upper right corner, select Personalize Your Day, then make your picks under Quote Categories.
Meet the creator: The app’s founder Maciej Lobodzinski’s inspiration for stoic. came from an unlikely place: his Shiba Inu. “My dog’s indifference to life’s obstacles, his ability to live in the present, and his pure focus on treats pushed me to read about philosophies and research mental health,” he says.
