What's New in Lychnos
1.1.0
October 16, 2026
A contemporary reading every day: Today now opens with a short text that connects the passage from Marcus Aurelius, Epictetus, or Seneca to life today, without losing sight of the source. The original is one tap away: the original icon opens the translated passage, with the line of the day highlighted, and the text in Greek or Latin. In the Reflection tab, "To think about" offers another angle on the theme, followed by the question of the day. You can write about it or about anything else. New notifications: in the morning, at 8 a.m., an idea for the day that makes sense even without opening the app; in the evening, at 8:30 p.m., the Evening review with the question of the day (off by default; turn it on in Settings).
