Aurelius is a journal that holds you to your word. WHO IT IS FOR You want to think clearly and act on it. You make promises to yourself and want someone to check. You are drawn to Stoic ideas, or simply to straight talk. HOW IT WORKS Aurelius is an AI accountability partner built on Stoic philosophy. He reads what you write, answers back, and holds you to what you said you would do. Over time he helps you organize your thoughts and your mind the Stoic way. YOUR FIRST 30 DAYS A morning and an evening prompt every day, written from your own answers. Each week ends with a Weekly Lesson: your week scored, his verdict in plain words, and one Challenge for the next seven days. MORNING AND EVENING Your day is anchored by two entries. The Morning Account, before the day shapes you. The Evening Examination, before it closes. Aurelius answers each with a reflection or a directive. YOUR JOURNAL, YOUR WAY Add the sections you need: What Must Be Done, The Pre-Mortem, Gratitude and The Measure. Reorder them, set reminders, and choose where he gives feedback. Name what must be done in the morning, and he will ask whether you kept it. WHEN YOUR MIND IS CROWDED Practices with Aurelius, one tap away. The Sort empties your mind with you and divides what is yours. Impression separates what happened from the story you added. Keep a line worth living by, or write a letter to who you will be. TALK TO HIM Chat with Aurelius anytime. He answers with your own journal in hand. Tap him on any page and he asks you one sharp question about what you wrote. HE FINDS THE PATTERN When something keeps showing up in your entries, he names it and shows you the lines it came from. Proven patterns become stars in your Constellation. SUBSCRIPTION Aurelius requires an active subscription. - Annual: $89.99 per year, with a 7-day free trial for new subscribers - Monthly: $14.99 per month Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase, or when the free trial ends.
