Vanitas - Memento Mori

Memento mori Vanitas delivers one quote each day. One reminder, at the time you choose, to live the hours you still have a little more deliberately. No streaks. No gamification. No endless scroll. Just the practice that contemplatives, Stoics, poets, and monks have kept for three thousand years, fitted to an iPhone. — THE PRACTICE — • One quote per day. That's it. • Read the author, source, and the story behind the line. • Favorite the ones that stay with you. • Revisit everything you've received in the Archive. — THE LIBRARY — Hundreds of carefully verified entries across four registers: • Philosophy — Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, Epictetus, Montaigne, Kierkegaard, Heidegger, Simone Weil. • Poetry — Dickinson, Keats, Rilke, Dylan Thomas, Mary Oliver, Larkin, Whitman, Shakespeare. • Scripture — Ecclesiastes, the Psalms, the Gita, the Dhammapada, the Qur'an, the Tao Te Ching. • Modern voices — Oliver Sacks, Joan Didion, Paul Kalanithi, Viktor Frankl, Toni Morrison, James Baldwin. Each quote includes source, date, and a short context note — so the line arrives with its history intact, not stripped down to a motivational slogan. — THE NOTIFICATION — Choose how your reminder arrives: • Fixed time — every day at exactly the hour you pick. • Random window — some time between, say, 9 AM and 9 PM. Startling by design. The unpredictable moment that asks you to stop. Either way: one notification. One quote. No badges, no re-engagement nudges.
