In their own words
Stoic
Stoic is a mental health journaling app that combines Stoicism with modern psychological science to support self-reflection and well-being. Users can customize morning and evening reflections, respond to prompts that change daily around a weekly theme, and return to guided journals. It tracks moods and influencing factors and offers insights based on entries and activities. Guided meditation and breathing exercises are also included. Premium AI tools can provide personalized prompts, analyze past entries and create reminders based on journaling patterns; these features are optional and require consent. Stoic is available on Android, iOS, macOS and the web, with multiple export formats, media attachments, search, filters and a privacy lock. iCloud sync works across Apple devices, but the iOS and Android apps do not sync with each other. The free plan includes daily prompts, quotes and affirmations, basic guided journals and a limited selection of breathing practices and meditations. The annual plan offers a 7-day Premium trial or a 3-day Premium + AI trial, with one trial activation per Apple ID.
