What it is
Stoic is a mental health journaling app that combines Stoicism with modern psychological science to support self-reflection and well-being. Users can tailor morning and evening reflections, respond to prompts that refresh daily around a weekly theme, and return to guided journals. The app tracks mood and influencing factors, with insights based on journal entries and activities, and includes guided meditation and breathing exercises. Optional Premium AI tools can provide personalized prompts, analyze earlier entries, and send reminders based on journaling patterns; use of these tools requires consent. The free plan includes daily prompts, quotes and affirmations, basic guided journals, and a limited selection of breathing practices and meditations. Stoic is available on Android, iOS, macOS, and the web, with multiple export formats, media attachments, search and filters, and a privacy lock. iCloud sync works across Apple devices, but the iOS and Android apps do not sync with each other. Stoic says it cannot access journal content in the app and does not sell app usage data or use it for advertising. The company also says its services are not medical advice or a replacement for therapy.
