Rise: The Stoic Daily Journal App

By Ash & Iron

Rise is a Stoic daily journal app for the first and last minutes of your day. Set one intention in the morning, choose three priorities, and close the evening with the review Seneca practised every night. It is free, calm and private.

What is inside the Stoic journal app

A morning ritual: one thought from Marcus Aurelius, Seneca or Epictetus, one intention and three priorities.
An evening reflection: what went well, what to do better, and what was outside your control.
A private journal: searchable entries with daily prompts.
Habits and focus: a habit tracker tied to the four virtues, a daily Sudoku and box breathing.
A library: ten core Stoic ideas, explained simply.

How to add Rise to your home screen

iPhone: open Rise in Safari, tap Share, then Add to Home Screen. Android: open it in Chrome and tap Install. Rise then opens full screen and works offline.

Private by design

Everything you write stays on your phone. There is no account, no tracking and no advertising. Read the Rise privacy policy, and if you prefer paper, explore our Stoic journals and Stoic planners. For the source of it all, read Meditations by Marcus Aurelius, free on Project Gutenberg.
