Ask Aurelius
Read full descriptionHide full description
Ask Aurelius is a calm, citation-grounded reflection companion sourced from Marcus Aurelius' Meditations. Every answer points to the specific passage that shaped it — never an inference, never invention. Choose a question. Type what's troubling you, or pick a starting prompt: anger, fear, mortality, judgment, duty, anxiety, discipline. Aurelius answers in calm, direct prose grounded in passages from the Meditations (George Long, 1862, public domain). Each citation links to the source, so you can read the full passage in its original context. THE PRACTICE • Discourse — open chat with Aurelius. Cite at most 3 passages per answer. • Today — a single passage selected for daily reflection. • Library — browse the full Meditations by book or by theme. • Journal — record reflections, end-to-end encrypted. The server only sees ciphertext. • Saved Passages — bookmark the passages that speak to you. WHAT IT WON'T DO • Won't invent quotes or attributions • Won't speak on medical, legal, financial, or crisis decisions • Won't pretend to be the historical Marcus Aurelius — it's an AI inspired by him FREE • 5 reflections per day • Daily passage, library, journal, and saved passages MARCUS PREMIUM • Up to 100 reflections a day, 1,000 a month • Conversation export to Markdown • Early access to upcoming features — voice mode, search, multiple translations • $4.99/month or $39.99/year (33% saving) PRIVACY • Sign in with Apple — no email or password • Journal entries are end-to-end encrypted on your device with a key in your iCloud Keychain. Your reflections stay private. • No third-party trackers, no advertising Aurelius died in 180 CE. The Meditations is his private notebook — not advice for others, but lessons to himself, written in the field. This app is a way to read it slowly, in conversation with the question you carry today.
