Stoic Days Today — day count and practice Stoic Days Pause — ninety seconds with a Stoic line Stoic Days Progress — counters and savings kept

Today

In the app

Three quiet tools

Keep the day, Pause, then a kinder next day. On a wide screen the phone stays pinned and switches as you scroll.

Keep the day

One honest day at a time

A clear day count, morning pledge, and evening reflection. Quiet marks for milestones that matter to you — without neon trophies or shame.

  • Day counter you can glance without pressure
  • Pledge and reflect on your device
  • Basic savings in your currency

Pause when it hits

Ninety seconds. Then you decide.

When an urge arrives: a breath, a Stoic line, and space to choose. Pause is free on iPhone — and available on Apple Watch.

  • Calm timer, not a lecture
  • Attributed Stoic lines when you need them
  • Emergency resources one tap away

Kinder next day

History kept. No lecture.

If you need to start again, it’s called The next day. Progress still shows what you’ve recorded — counters, savings, the work already done. Stopping now is still a win.

  • See current, longest, and total days
  • Savings clarity without gamified shame
  • Reset kindly without erasing your record

Honest about what this is

Not a clinic. Not a treatment programme.

A lifestyle companion

Practice journal + day counter. Tools on your device for keeping a day, noticing patterns, and building steady habits — not a diagnosis, clinic, or treatment plan.

Not medical advice

Stoic Days does not diagnose, treat, or replace a clinician or emergency service. If you are in crisis, please use real-world help — see our Support page for a starting point.

Disclaimer: Stoic Days is a daily practice journal. It is not medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Stopping alcohol, opioids, or sedatives can be medically dangerous for some people — seek appropriate clinical guidance when needed.

Glance without nagging

See your day count and a lock-safe quote when you need a quiet reminder — not a next-milestone countdown shouting at you from the Lock Screen.

  • Day count at a glance Lock Screen and Dynamic Island surfaces can show your days with a calm line — designed to stay discreet and lock-safe.
  • No milestone nagging on lock Glance is for presence, not pressure. Encouragement belongs in the app — not as a nag on the Lock Screen.
  • Basic savings, your currency Track money kept with multi-currency support on the free tier — useful, not gamified.

Stoic Days Plus unlocks deeper extras (insights, library depth, Live Activity glance toggle, Watch day count, and more). You can download, keep the day, and use Pause without Plus.

A Stoic idea

Of things, some are in our power and others are not. In our power are opinion, impulse, desire, aversion — in short, whatever is our own doing.
Epictetus, Enchiridion 1 — paraphrase of the opening dichotomy of control

A note from Nomis

I’m a recovering alcoholic. I built Stoic Days because I wanted a quiet companion — something that respects the day you’re in, doesn’t shame a reset, and offers a Stoic line when the urge shows up.

This isn’t a clinic in your pocket. It’s a practice journal with a counter, a pledge, and a kinder next day. If it helps you keep one more honest day, that’s enough.
