## What is Vanitas?

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.
