About Dawnstone: Daily Stoic
Dawnstone shows you one Stoic passage on your Lock Screen each morning — and nothing more. No feed. No streaks. No badge demanding to be cleared. Just one card, one moment, once a day — a single thought from Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, or Epictetus to carry into your morning. YOUR LOCK SCREEN, EVERY MORNING — FREE The full passage becomes your Lock Screen wallpaper through a quick Shortcut you run. It meets you the moment you pick up your phone, without opening anything. Prefer a widget? Add Dawnstone to your Lock and Home Screen in multiple sizes. Both are free. ONE DAILY READING, NOT A FEED Each day brings one passage, gently modernized from public-domain translations so it reads in a single breath. MAKE IT YOURS — PRO Go deeper and make it your own: • Themes — Dawn, Stone, Water, Mist (light and dark for each) • The Origin — read the original 19th-century translation, what the authors actually wrote • Up to four quiet reminder times — morning, midday, evening • Mac menu bar — today's passage, one click away • Synced across iPhone, iPad, and Mac via iCloud SHARE IT YOUR WAY Send the day's passage as an elegant card — over iMessage, Instagram, Photos, or AirDrop — in the exact theme and reading length you chose. NOW IN NINE LANGUAGES English, Portuguese (Brazil), Spanish, German, French, Italian, Japanese, Dutch, and Korean — passage and app. iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and Mac. Universal purchase. A calmer start to the day — quietly, once. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://dawnstone.app/privacy
