About
Most "Stoic" apps hand you a quote and walk away. The Examined Day gives you the practice the Stoics actually kept: a short ritual at the start and end of each day.
In the morning you read a passage, set one intention, name the hard thing that may come, and sort what is yours to control from what is not. At night you sit with Seneca's three questions: what did I do badly, what did I do well, what could I do better.
The whole app changes with the hour it is opened. Cool first light in the morning, lamplight and indigo at night. It is a small thing, and it makes the ritual feel like the time of day it belongs to.
FREE, FOREVER
- A new passage every morning and night, drawn from the Stoics

THE FULL PRACTICE (one-time unlock)
- The complete works to read: the Meditations, the Enchiridion, and Seneca, fully searchable

WHY ONE PURCHASE, NOT A SUBSCRIPTION
The value here is the practice and your own reflections, not an endless feed you have to keep paying for. So it is a single purchase, yours forever, on every device. Charging a monthly fee for Stoicism felt like missing the point.
