If you’re looking for an app to use at the end of your day to slow down and reflect, this is the perfect one!

The app draws from Stoicism, Buddhism, Taoism, and other wisdom traditions.

My favorite feature so far is ‘Ask the Sage’, an AI council of philosophers that provides deep and meaningful insights for any question you have or even for reflecting on a quote. Highly recommended!

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.2.7 — 2026-08-11

Your wisdom, everywhere you are: now on your Wrist, in your Browser, and through every Focus or Pomodoro session.

Safari extension (free, built in):
• The whole interface now speaks Portuguese and Spanish, including the Sage's guidance, with a one-tap language switch.
• I rewrote Reveal Wisdom to be faster and steadier, so it surfaces the ideas worth remembering on any page.
• Your collection stays private, right on your device.

Apple Watch:
• A new Ancient World Clock: a hand-crafted mechanical dial in glowing gold, with the live date.
• Three new paths, Affirmations, Gryffindor and Spartan, so all 16 traditions now live on your wrist.
• I redesigned the path picker with luminous, colour-coded orbs, and made the quote view bigger and easier to read.
• Tap the heart to save favourites to your profile.
• Fully offline, with hundreds of new quotes, so wisdom is always one tap away, signal or not.

Focus sessions and Training Camp:
• The timer no longer stops when you lock your phone. Sessions now follow the real clock, so putting the phone down (which is rather the point of a focus session) keeps the count honest.
• Breaks now have their own timer, fully integrated with the Focus Session timer. Pick 5, 10, 15 or 25 minutes and a soft chime tells you when your focus or pomodoro session (and its break) is over. A break keeps running on any screen in the app.
• Three focus modes: Sprint Forge, Balanced March and Deep Ritual. Each has its own colour, and I carried it through the timer, the progress bar and the clock's glow.
• Set any duration you like with the new custom minutes field.
• I gave the two clocks clearer names: Pomodoro Clock and Ancient Pomodoro Clock.
• The Ancient Pomodoro Clock is improved. The countdown speaks for itself, so I dropped the title, framed it with a Greek meander and softened the glow.
• Sound and auto-start breaks are proper settings now, and they remember your choice.

Polish and fixes:
• Spanish and Portuguese translations are fully complete ,including a few remaining app text elements, which still used to appear in English.
• Fixed a countdown that could render blank.
• Improved the Training Camp Screen: a cleaner focus card, a quieter battlefield and optimized screen space overall.

### 1.2.6 — 2026-08-10

Your wisdom, everywhere you are -  now on your wrist and in your browser.

-  Safari extension (free, built in):
• Now fully in Portuguese and Spanish -  the entire interface and the Sage's guidance -  with a one-tap language switch.
• Reveal Wisdom is faster and more reliable, surfacing the ideas worth remembering on any page.

- Apple Watch:
• A breathtaking new Ancient World Clock - a hand-crafted mechanical dial in glowing gold, with the live date and a timeless quote.
• 3 new paths -  Affirmations, Gryffindor, and Spartan - so all 16 traditions now live on your wrist.

• Tap the s2 (Heart) to save favorites to your profile.
• Fully offline - hundreds of new quotes, so wisdom is always one tap away, signal or not.

### 1.2.5 — 2026-08-09

This update makes Ancient Wisdom Guide calmer and more useful on the web:
It comes with a free Safari extension: Nothing extra to download. Just turn it on in Safari → Settings → Extensions to bring philosophy to any page you read.
• Temple Mode clears ads, pop-ups, paywalls, and cookie banners for distraction-free reading — and restores the page instantly when you exit.
• Save any reflection to your Collection — Practice, Challenge, Steelman, Explain Through a Tradition, and Verify a Quote — from both the toolbar popup and the floating orb on the page.
• Your daily wisdom counter now tracks your usage correctly.
• The extension reopens on the tab you last used (Lens, Page, or Collection).
• Smoother scrolling in the expanded view, so the Save button is always reachable.
Your Collection stays private on your device.

### 1.2.4 — 2026-07-29

- Version 1.2.4 brings a fully three-dimensional planetarium to Ancient Wisdom Guide, alongside a complete visual redesign, performance improvements, and bug fixes.

-- World/Galaxy Map:
• A new star map has been added as a real 3D planetarium you can fly through: 8,920 stars, all 88 constellations and more than 200 nebulae, clusters and galaxies, drawn procedurally so detail keeps resolving as you zoom. At its center, the Ancient Wisdom Galaxy turns with its accretion disc and photon ring, circled by the seven wisdom traditions. • • Explore twelve hand-composed systems [Orion, Scorpius, the Southern Cross, Lyra, Pegasus, the Seven Sisters, Sirius, Alpha Centauri, and three exoplanet systems whose worlds orbit at their true relative speeds].
• Touch any object to read its entry in a 54-part celestial codex, then draw a piece of wisdom matched to what you are looking at. Share any view as an image.

-- New design system:
• A new visual foundation with an animated celestial background, translucent panels, and refined monospace typography, aligned with our web platform.

-- Redesigned quote cards:
• Quote cards have been refined with new typography, improved contrast, and classical decorative detailing for greater readability and visual clarity.

-- Improvements:
• All screens now correctly use the full display area on modern iPhones
• Redesigned home screen with clearer information hierarchy

• Optimized rendering performance for smoother scrolling and animation
