Sisyphus

The dishes come back. The inbox refills. The laundry basket is never done being a laundry basket. Most apps treat that as failure. Sisyphus — the recurring-chores app built on Albert Camus's "The Myth of Sisyphus" — treats it as the whole point. Name your boulders: the pieces of your work that always return. Push them up the mountain each day. Reach the summit by evening, lose everything by midnight, and come back gladly. One must imagine Sisyphus happy. A MOUNTAIN THAT LIVES The scene is drawn by code, not stock art. The sky follows your real clock — dawn breaks, dusk burns, stars wheel past a crescent moon. The seasons follow your calendar: snow in January, wildflowers in April, amber leaves in October. And the man with the rock is your day, exactly as far up the slope as your labor has gone. PUSHING TAKES EFFORT You don't tap a checkbox — you hold the stone. A ring fills, a rumble builds under your finger, stone grinds on stone until the push lands with a satisfying thud. Finish the day's labor and Sisyphus stands at the summit, arms raised. THE MOUNTAIN REMEMBERS Every forty pushes raises a cairn beside the trail. The path itself wears deeper over your first two months. A year in, your mountain looks lived-on — and nobody else's looks like yours. REST IS PART OF THE PRACTICE No streak-shaming. Declare a rest day and the mountain rests with you — Sisyphus sits down beside his rock, nothing is due, and your rhythm holds. The day rhythm counts summits gently: quiet days and rest days hold it. Only abandoned work breaks it. PHILOSOPHY, EARNED Sixteen short musings — the myth, Camus, the Stoics, Nietzsche — unlock one per three pushes, the honest way. Each one shares as a postcard of the mountain at dusk. And The Year on the Mountain sums your year in stone: pushes, summits, rests taken, cairns raised. EVERYWHERE YOU LOOK • Interactive widgets — push boulders right from the home screen • Lock-screen widgets, StandBy, and Siri: "Push the dishes in Sisyphus" • iPhone and iPad, syncing privately through your own iCloud FREE, HONESTLY Every feature is free, forever. No subscriptions, no ads, no account, no AI, no tracking — your data never leaves your devices and your own iCloud. The Agora sells three optional cosmetics as thank-yous (a traveler's hat, a wine-dark cape, a boulder of Parian marble), worn where you can see them. Gratitude, never features. The gods thought endless labor was the worst punishment they could invent. They forgot to check whether the laborer might come to love the work. Shoulder the boulder.
