## What is Stoics?

Every morning the council of seven philosophers argues one real dilemma. You give the verdict.

Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, Epictetus, Zeno, Cato, Diogenes and Epicurus take a case from ordinary life — the money, the friend, the job, the parent — and argue it properly, with real citations you can tap. They do not agree. You pick a side, write a sentence or five, and seal your verdict into your Record.

The next morning your mentor writes back. One letter, sealed, about what you decided — not a chatbot, not a quote of the day. Break the seal, read, reply if you like.

THE DAILY CASE
• One dilemma a day, edited by hand, argued by three of the seven.
• Six turns, two rounds, and a real split — the voices cite their own works.
• Who's right? Pick a side. Write your verdict. Seal it.
• A Record of every verdict you have sealed, in your own words.
• Your mentor's morning letter, written to yesterday's verdict.

SHARE THE CARD
Your verdict seals into a card — the question, the two sides, their sources. Share it as a picture or a link; the page lets anyone vote on the split before they install. Your own words stay off the card unless you say so.

ON YOUR PHONE
• Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets with today's case.
• A Live Activity while your verdict is pending.
• Siri and Shortcuts: "Ask the council", "Yesterday's verdict".
• Dark mode, Dynamic Type and VoiceOver throughout.
• On devices with Apple Intelligence: an offered tightening of your verdict and a monthly line on who you keep siding with — on-device, never sent anywhere.

STOICS PLUS
• Bring your own case: the council argues your dilemma, live.
• Your mentor replies to your verdict and to your letters.
• One more round when you want the argument to go on.

The daily case, the council, your verdict, your Record and the morning letter are free. Seven days of full access on first install, with no card and no automatic charge.

### 2.0.0 — 2026-11-07

Stoics is the Council now.

Every morning the seven philosophers argue one real dilemma with real citations — and they do not agree. Pick a side, write your verdict, seal it. The next morning your mentor writes back about what you decided.

• A new daily case every day, argued by three of the seven.
• Your Record: every verdict you seal, in your own words, synced through iCloud.
• Share the card — the question, the sides, the sources — as a picture or a link people can vote on.
• Widgets, a Live Activity while your verdict is pending, Siri shortcuts, dark mode.
• Stoics Plus: bring your own case to the council, and your mentor replies to your verdicts and letters. Yearly is now $34.99.

Your mentor, your memory and your subscription carry over. Conversations from earlier versions are not part of the Council.

### 1.5.3 — 2026-10-27

Turn a mentor conversation into one small next step. When a suitable action is available, you can use it as a starting point, edit it, or write your own. Add an optional occasion, then save your step for tomorrow's check-in. Your step and optional occasion are saved on this device.

### 1.5.2 — 2026-09-25

The Save for tomorrow button now stays above the keyboard while you edit your step. You can also hide the keyboard from the top of the editor.

### 1.5.1 — 2026-09-08

This update improves reliability when saving reflections and returning to your daily practice. We also added privacy-conscious diagnostics to help us understand what makes Stoics useful from one day to the next.
