## What is Dawnstone?

Dawnstone shows you one Stoic passage on your Lock Screen each morning — and nothing more.

No feed. No streaks. No badge demanding to be cleared. Just one card, one moment, once a day — a single thought from Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, or Epictetus to carry into your morning.

YOUR LOCK SCREEN, EVERY MORNING — FREE
The full passage becomes your Lock Screen wallpaper through a quick Shortcut you run. It meets you the moment you pick up your phone, without opening anything. Prefer a widget? Add Dawnstone to your Lock and Home Screen in multiple sizes. Both are free.

ONE DAILY READING, NOT A FEED
Each day brings one passage, gently modernized from public-domain translations so it reads in a single breath.

MAKE IT YOURS — PRO
Go deeper and make it your own:
• Themes — Dawn, Stone, Water, Mist (light and dark for each)
• The Origin — read the original 19th-century translation, what the authors actually wrote
• Up to four quiet reminder times — morning, midday, evening
• Mac menu bar — today's passage, one click away
• Synced across iPhone, iPad, and Mac via iCloud

SHARE IT YOUR WAY
Send the day's passage as an elegant card — over iMessage, Instagram, Photos, or AirDrop — in the exact theme and reading length you chose.

NOW IN SEVEN LANGUAGES
English, Portuguese (Brazil), Spanish, German, French, Italian, and Japanese — passage and app.

iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and Mac. Universal purchase.

A calmer start to the day — quietly, once.
