Read full description

Track how people make you feel. Keep the receipts. Notice the pattern. Patterns is a private relationship tracker and mood journal for understanding the connections in your life. Add a partner, date, friend, family member, or coworker, then record how each interaction leaves you feeling over time. QUICK EMOTIONAL CHECK-INS Log a feeling, choose its intensity, and add a note when context matters. A few seconds is enough to build an honest record you can return to later. KEEP THE RECEIPTS Save specific moments as green flags or red flags so important behavior does not get blurred by time. Add a title, private note, and optional photo or screenshot to remember what actually happened. SEE THE PATTERN Review relationship timelines, recurring feelings, flag totals, and 30-day trends. Notice which connections feel supportive, draining, calm, confusing, or mixed. MADE FOR EVERY RELATIONSHIP Patterns is not just a couples app. Use it for dating, friendships, family dynamics, work relationships, or any person whose behavior affects your wellbeing. Reflect on boundaries, positive signs, and difficult patterns without forcing everything into a single diary. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account is required. Names, check-ins, notes, and receipt attachments stay locally on your device, giving you a calm space to be honest with yourself.

About

Stoic

Features
Read full description

A daily Stoic practice for feeling calmer, clearer and more like yourself. Stoic gives you a small, gentle rhythm for the day: one passage worth carrying, one guided practice to steady you, and a private space to reflect. Ten minutes in the morning can change how you meet the rest of the day. TODAY Open the app and your day is already laid out. Read a passage from Marcus Aurelius, Epictetus or Seneca, then try one guided Stoic practice chosen for you. No decision to make before coffee. PRACTICE Twelve guided practices inspired by what the Stoics actually practiced, organized around three disciplines: Perception, Response and Acceptance. • Sort what's yours from what isn't on a board you can move around • Widen your perspective with the View From Above • Put a number on your anger, then breathe it down • Practice waiting with something that will not be hurried • Give your attention to one thing you already have • Imagine losing something good, then receive it again • Strip a situation of its story and name only the facts Each practice is timed and unhurried. Sit in silence or listen to public-domain recordings by Bach, Beethoven, Satie or Chopin. LOG See your month at a glance, one day at a time. Tap any day to revisit the passage, practice and reflection from that day. Your journal lives underneath in a quiet timeline that you can filter by the kind of entry. LIBRARY Explore 150 passages from Meditations, the Discourses, the Enchiridion and Seneca's letters. Browse by philosopher, book or the question you're actually asking. Save passages that resonate and return to them whenever you need them. YOU See your run of days, everything you've written and every practice you've completed. Set a daily reminder for the time you're most likely to keep your practice. Export your complete record as plain Markdown whenever you want. Delete everything permanently from one place. HOME SCREEN Keep today's passage, practice and daily state close at hand with home screen and lock screen widgets. A quieter way to practice Stoicism, reflect, and return to what matters.
