About

Lucilius

Features
Read full description

Lucilius brings a daily Stoic reading and a quiet place to reflect on your own life. Read a passage, write a line, and return to the thought you left for tomorrow. Read Seneca, Marcus Aurelius, and Epictetus with the work and translation each passage comes from, and a short piece of context. Each reading brings a question to carry into your day. Begin the morning with an intention. In the evening, look back with care and leave one line for your next morning. Your journal is saved on your device, with options to lock it and export a copy. Daily readings, morning and evening sessions, journaling, widgets, reminders, and export are free. Pro opens the rest of each reading list by author and theme, seven-day paths, a further reflection prompt, and more paper styles. Some days you will write more. Some days you may just read. There is a place to begin again. Lucilius Pro is available as an auto-renewing yearly subscription or a one-time Lifetime purchase. Both unlock the same Pro features. You can manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple Account settings.
