## What is Steady Flame?

Steady Flame is a calm, secular daily practice for building the qualities of great humans — made practiceable by anyone. You build one quality at a time through a gentle daily loop.

THE DAILY LOOP
• Morning — set an intention and read one short, one-minute lesson.
• Through the day — carry one small practice into real life.
• Evening — an honest reflection. No grading, ever. Just an honest look.

NINE QUALITIES
Equanimity, Self-Discipline, Courage, Presence, Equanimous Action, Purpose, Integrity, Compassion, and Joy & Lightness — each a guided Season of daily practice, drawn from Stoicism, Buddhism, Confucianism, the Bhagavad Gita and Upanishads, and modern psychology, in plain human language.

A PATH YOU CAN SEE
Your season lays out day by day. Complete a day and the next one opens — and your flame grows, from a small ember to a steady fire. Miss a day and nothing is lost: begin again, right where you are.

A MINUTE OF STILLNESS
A guided two-minute breathing practice for whenever you need to steady yourself, with ten original meditation soundscapes — Eastern and Western, from Tibetan singing bowls to slow cello — one for each kind of day.

GUIDES, NOT IDOLS
Meet real people who embodied each quality — Marcus Aurelius, Epictetus, Eleanor Roosevelt, Thich Nhat Hanh, and more — taught honestly, flaws and all.

SECULAR BY DEFAULT
A framing toggle lets you add spiritual language where it deepens, or leave it off entirely. Secular is always the default; the toggle only ever adds.

AN OPTIONAL AI MENTOR
Off by default. If you want a companion for your practice, you can add your own Anthropic API key and chat with a calm mentor that knows your focus and recent reflections. It is the app's only online feature — and it stays off unless you turn it on.

BUILT TO RESPECT YOU
• No streak-shaming. Miss a day? Begin again, right where you are.
• One gentle daily reminder — easily turned off. No nags, no manipulation.
• No infinite scroll, no badges, no fake urgency.
• Private by design: no account, no sign-in, no analytics. Your practice stays on your device.

A steady inner fire — neither dying down, nor burning out.
