About Stoic: Beat the Algorithm
Motivation is a feeling. Feelings change. Every morning you decide again whether today counts. Stoic removes the decision. Your phone was built by people who are very good at their job. Their job is your attention. You will not win that fight with willpower, you win it with rules you set once and cannot renegotiate at 11pm. THE FOCUS ECONOMY Nothing is free. Focus banks credits, minute by minute. Credits are the only currency that unlocks a distracting app. Want ten minutes of scrolling? Earn it first. MONK MODE Days, not sessions. Commit to a stretch and the exits close behind you. THE MORNING GATE An alarm you cannot dismiss with your thumb. Solve it, say it out loud, or move. Then the day starts. HARDCORE Put real money on it. Oversleep and you lose it. Nothing concentrates the mind like a stake you actually feel. APP BLOCKING Screen Time, enforced. Not a reminder. Not a nudge. THE ROADMAP Your mission for the year and the person you refuse to become. written down, in front of you, daily. WHO THIS IS NOT FOR People looking for another dashboard. Stoic is not gentle and it does not negotiate. If you want to be reminded, use a reminder app. If you don't sacrifice for what you want, what you want becomes the sacrifice. Beat the algorithm. Stoic+ subscription required App blocking, focus sessions, streaks and the leaderboard require a Stoic+ subscription (auto-renewing, yearly with a free trial, or weekly). The exact price is always shown in the app before purchase. Cancel anytime in Settings. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
