Your mood. Your philosopher. Your practice. Aurelian is the only Stoic practice app that adapts to how you actually feel. Tell it you're struggling and Seneca meets you there — with the wisdom he wrote from exile and loss. Tell it you're grateful and Hierocles shows you how to let that gratitude expand outward. Tell it you're angry and Marcus Aurelius teaches you the gap between stimulus and response. This is not a quote app. This is a daily practice. MORNING MOOD CHECK-IN Every morning, Aurelian asks one question: how are you arriving today? Your answer reshapes your entire practice — the philosopher, the quotes, the journal prompts, and the daily challenge all respond to where you actually are. Not where you wish you were. GUIDED JOURNAL — A CONVERSATION, NOT A BLANK PAGE The journal is a four-step guided session. You answer. Your philosopher reflects. They ask the question that goes one level deeper. You answer again. By the end of four steps you have said something true about your day that you wouldn't have found alone. Morning and evening sessions. Each one five minutes. Each one different. MIDDAY PULSE CHECK-IN You started today feeling something. Did it change? A gentle midday notification asks how you're doing now — and responds to whether you've improved, held steady, or had a harder day than expected. The arc from morning to evening is tracked, named, and reflected back to you in the evening session. DAILY STOIC CHALLENGE One challenge per day. Not a quote to read — an intention to carry. The Silent Observer. Voluntary Discomfort. No Complaint Day. Amor Fati. Each evening, the journal asks how it went. Mark it complete only after you've reflected. 30 challenges, cycling through the month. 10 PHILOSOPHER PROFILES Marcus Aurelius. Seneca. Epictetus. Zeno. Cato. Chrysippus. Cleanthes. Musonius Rufus. Cicero. Hierocles. Full biographies, core teachings, their best quotes. Practice with any philosopher and your daily content filters to their wisdom. BREATHING EXERCISE The 4-7-8 pattern. A slow animated circle with color-shifting phases. Programmatically generated ambient sound — a warm 528Hz singing bowl tone and soft pink noise. No files, no downloads. 3, 5, or 10 minute sessions. STOIC MEDITATION Six phases. Prepare. Ground. Visualize. Reflect. Release. Return. A progress ring. Color transitions. Gentle haptic cues. The same ambient sound as the breathing exercise. A complete guided meditation rooted in ancient Stoic practice. HOME SCREEN WIDGET Small and medium sizes. Today's Stoic quote on your home screen every morning. Updated at midnight. Tap to open the app. PROGRESS & STREAKS Daily streaks. A GitHub-style practice heatmap. Mood charting over 7 and 30 days. Milestone badges from First Reflection to Sage at 100 days. COMPLETELY PRIVATE No account. No login. No server. Every journal entry, mood log, and streak lives only on your device. Always. BEAUTIFUL BY DESIGN Warm parchment and deep obsidian themes. Playfair Display and Lora serif typography throughout. Designed to feel like a leather journal, not a productivity app. Aurelian is a one-time purchase. $4.99. No subscription. No upsells.

Meditations, the Enchiridion, and Seneca, right inside the app. • A new ritual: the Dichotomy of Control. Name what weighs on you, sort what's truly yours to carry, and let the rest go. • Five guided meditations, matched to how you're feeling — not just one. • Your evening journal now remembers your morning intention, and your morning picks up where last night left off. • Aurelian Premium has arrived, with a free trial — unlocking the full text library, every meditation, mood insights, and more. Plus a properly dark Obsidian theme, clearer mood check-ins, and smaller refinements throughout. ### 1.1.11 — 2026-03-13 This update transforms Aurelian from a beautiful app into a genuine daily practice. Your mood now shapes everything. Tell us how you're arriving each morning and your entire practice responds — the quotes, the philosopher, the journal prompts, and the daily challenge all adapt to where you actually are. The journal is completely redesigned. Gone is the blank page. In its place: a guided four-step session that feels like a conversation with a Stoic mentor. Your recommended philosopher reflects on what you write and asks the question that goes one level deeper. New: Midday pulse check-in. You started the day feeling something. Did it change? A gentle midday notification closes the loop and tracks your emotional arc from morning to evening. New: Daily Stoic Challenge. One practical challenge per day — not a quote to read, but an intention to carry. From voluntary discomfort to a full day without complaint. Reflected on each evening in the journal. New: Home screen widget. Marcus Aurelius on your home screen every morning. Small and medium sizes, updated daily. New: Shareable quote cards. Beautiful parchment-and-gold quote images to share anywhere. The philosopher library has grown to 10 thinkers — Chrysippus, Cleanthes, Musonius Rufus, Cicero, and Hierocles join the original five. ### 1.0 — 2026-02-26 No release notes. ## More apps by Kevork Wakimian - [Kyto: Lab Companion](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/kyto-lab-companion/id6758780284) All apps by Kevork Wakimian: https://appshunter.io/developer/1874945338 ## Related topics [aurelians](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/aurelians) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
