## What is Prokopton?

Prokopton delivers one Stoic quote to your phone each day — nothing more, and nothing less.

The word prokopē (προκοπή) is ancient Greek for "progress." The Stoics used it 
to describe the ongoing, quiet work of becoming a better person. Not through grand 
gestures, but through small, daily acts of attention.

That is what this app is. One notification. One thought. One day.


THE QUOTES

Over 400 hand-curated entries drawn from three foundational Stoic texts:

- Meditations: Marcus Aurelius
- Selected works: Seneca  
- Enchiridion: Epictetus

Each quote is assigned to one of the three disciplines at the heart of Stoic 
practice: Desire, Action, and Assent. You can filter to whichever discipline 
you are working on, or receive quotes from all three.


HOW IT WORKS

Each day, within a time window you choose, a single notification arrives. The quote arrives in your notification — open the app for the full reading view, or simply read it on your lock screen.

If you do open the app, you will find the quote displayed in a clean, 
typography-focused reading view. You can save favourites with a single tap.


THE SHUFFLE

Prokopton tracks which quotes you have already seen. You will work through 
the entire library before any quote repeats. The order is 
shuffled — no two users experience the same sequence.


HOME SCREEN WIDGET

A small and medium widget keeps the current quote visible on your Home Screen 
throughout the day, without opening the app.


WHAT THIS APP DOES NOT DO

No algorithm. No feed. No streaks. No gamification. No account required. 
No internet connection required — ever. No data leaves your device. No ads.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.1 — 2026-03-29

History — the Favourites view now has a History tab showing every quote from the past 30 days. Tap the heart on any past quote to save it as a favourite, or share it directly from history view.

Focus Areas — filter your daily practice to one or more of the three Stoic disciplines in Settings. Your selection persists across sessions and updates both the app and your notification schedule.

All-day notifications — the notification time window now covers the full rather than being limited to 5am–10pm.

Bug fixes — a race condition on first install prevented notifications from being scheduled. This is now resolved. Users who installed 1.0 and received no notifications should open Settings and tap Done to activate their schedule.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-03-26

Fixed a race condition on first install where notification scheduling ran before the user had granted permission during onboarding. The OS silently rejected all 64 scheduled notifications as a result, meaning no daily quotes were ever delivered.

Notifications now schedule correctly after onboarding completes and permission is confirmed. Existing users who completed onboarding should force a reschedule by opening Settings and tapping Done.

### 1.0 — 2026-03-24

No release notes.
