About

MARCUS

Features
Read full description

MARCUS is a daily Stoic practice app built on a simple premise: philosophy is something you do, not something you read. Most philosophy apps give you a quote and call it a day. MARCUS gives you a complete daily practice rooted in 2,000 years of Stoic tradition — morning intentions, structured lessons, guided exercises, and evening reflections that turn ancient wisdom into a living habit. FOUR PILLARS OF DAILY PRACTICE Today — Your Daily Anchor Each morning begins with a carefully chosen thought from Marcus Aurelius, Epictetus, or Seneca. Not a decorative quote — a lens for examining your day. Set your morning intention in under two minutes and return each evening for a virtue check-in. Learn — Depth, Not Soundbites 61 structured lessons covering seven pillars of Stoic philosophy: Control, Acceptance, Virtue, Mortality, Calmness, Obstacles, and Time. Each lesson pairs primary source excerpts with modern commentary and a practical exercise. Includes a dedicated "Stoicism at Work" journey applying Epictetus, Marcus Aurelius, and Seneca to difficult colleagues, hard emails, and the pressure to let a job become your whole identity. Reflect — Your Private Journal Guided journaling with rotating Stoic prompts. Every entry is stored locally on your device and never leaves it. Review your reflections over time and watch your practice deepen. Practice — Active Exercises 23 text-guided Stoic exercises grounded in classical practices: negative visualisation, the view from above, evening self-examination, and more — plus a set of 60-90 second "Quick Resets" for the moment you actually need them, not just morning and evening. DESIGNED FOR PRIVACY Your journal entries, reflections, and practice history never leave your device. No accounts, no cloud sync, no analytics, no tracking. MARCUS is free. No paywall, no trial, no ads.
