dear stoics,

our new release introduces something aesthetically pleasing for our premium users. you can now change the app’s color theme. it may not sound like much, but trust us - having your personal journaling space in your favorite color really makes a difference. check it out!

we’ve also included the usual fixes and improvements to keep everything running totally crash- and freeze-free.

happy journaling!

dear stoics,

this one is a seriously packed update. a lot was done, so let's get straight to it:

- your profile got a tune-up: we moved the daily check-in, morning, and evening reflections customization options there;
- there's now a plus button above the tab bar on the today screen so you can access new options more easily;
- we've added a whole new batch of your beloved weekly themes;
- we also brought back the trends tab (some of you really missed it).

now about fixing stuff: some of you reported missing journals and history entries — those are now back where they belong. we've also fixed some crashes and freezes, improved focus notifications, journey reloading, and the pull-to-refresh feature. and for the mac app, we fixed a bug that made it impossible to open the photo library.

phew, that's all for now! hope these improvements make your spring journaling more satisfying and relaxing.

happy journaling!

dear stoics,

every once in a while, we release an update focused purely on fixing small bugs. they might be minor, but sometimes even little things can make the stoic experience feel less… stoic. this is one of those updates. so, we’ve fixed a few issues, added some upcoming mindful events, and made improvements behind the scenes to help the app run smoothly, crash-free, and most importantly — frustration-free.

happy journaling!
m.

dear stoics,

we have a new release ready for you — as always, packed with goodies. this time, we’ve added a new batch of content (specifically, new weekly themes for your daily dose of journaling inspiration). but the two most important updates are:

- a fix for a bug that kept mislabeling your journaling templates
- a new and improved look for emotions check-ins, with more emotions to choose from and new short guided journals to help you reflect more deeply on your state of mind.

we hope these changes improve your journaling flow in the best way. more updates are coming so talk to you very soon!

happy journaling!

dear stoics,

this week’s release puts the focus on focus! that’s right — we’ve upgraded and refreshed the way you choose your focus during morning preparation and daily check-in. it’s now clearer, handier, and way nicer to use.
deciding what you want to focus on gives your day intention, which helps you stay on track with your habits, get out of a rut or that annoying aimlessness we all feel sometimes. if you haven’t used this feature yet, give it a try!
as always, we’ve also made a few small fixes and behind-the-scenes improvements. so, until next time!

happy journaling!

dear stoics,

dropping off a new update! this one brings quite a handful of improvements and important fixes.
let’s start with what’s new:
- redesigned and improved voice memos: we’ve upgraded the voice memos experience, so recording spoken journal entries should be smoother, easier, and more reliable.
- nicer first check-in experience: we’ve improved the first check-in flow. although this mainly concerns our new users, we figured — why not mention it here.

what have we fixed?
- an issue that could cause the app to freeze for some users,
- a bug that could lead to data loss in daily routines.

we also want to say thanks for all your feedback; it genuinely helps us improve stoic and make it as bug-free as possible!

happy journaling!

dear stoics,

we’re back with new updates and improvements! this time, we focused on redesigning the journaling flows to make them more consistent and easier to navigate. here's the tip: look at the buttons on the top of the journal screens.
along with that, we’ve included some smaller fixes for minor issues we noticed along the way, all to give you a smoother and more enjoyable journaling experience. see you soon, because there’s more to come!

happy journaling!

dear stoics,

we couldn’t wait any longer — our first release of the new year is here!
here’s what’s new:
- our four most-loved ai mentors now have their own guided journals, designed to lift your spirits, calm your mind, improve focus, and help you unwind before sleep. try them all!
- we’ve made updates to the onboarding flow. onboarding is where many journeys begin, but you can always revisit it via your profile to set new focus areas for the app.
- we added a lock screen ideas widget, so your daily dose of inspiration is always within reach.
- we introduced a 1-month option for premium gift vouchers — perfect for those not ready for a longer commitment, and a great new year gift for someone you care about.

wishing you a calm, reflective, and well-rested start to the new year!

dear stoics,

we’re back with a small but important update. this release fixes a temporary issue with stoic shield — everything should now be working smoothly again. we’ve also restored your morning and evening routine settings to how you had them before.

We also wanted to clear up a bit of confusion around check-in and routines. you can choose whether you’d like to check in once a day with the daily check-in, or twice a day with morning and evening reflections. to do this, scroll to the bottom of your home screen and tap 'personalize'.

as this is likely our last release before the winter holidays, the stoic team would like to wish you a calm and comforting season, spent exactly the way you like it. We hope stoic brings you a few moments of rest and reflection along the way!

happy and cozy journaling!

dear stoics,

this release arrives just in time for last-minute winter holiday gifting! you can now give stoic to someone you care about with a one-year premium ai voucher. it's a thoughtful way to support your loved ones’ mental well-being. we hope your friends and family will come to love stoic just as much as you do.

oh, but there’s more! our much-loved widgets have received a refresh — they’re now easier to use and look much better. we’ve also added an option to hide the community check-in counter in preferences, for those of you who prefer to see less numbers on your home screen. that’s all for now but we’ll be back soon with the final release of 2025, so stay tuned!

happy journaling!
m.

dear stoics,

this release brings you a fresh, big batch of daily inspiration content, including new weekly themes, new quotes, and more. we’ve also added some fixes and improvements: you’ll now find check-ins and badges in the journey filters, plus some UI tweaks to give the app a cleaner look.

there’s also an important update for anyone using a system older than iOS 17. this will be the last release that delivers new content on those devices. don’t worry, the app will continue to work just fine, but the features and content already available will remain as they are. if this applies to you, you can read more in our help center on our website.

happy journaling!

dear stoics,

it’s that time of year again — the one we all get the most excited about. we start summing up the past 12 months, reflecting on the year that’s slowly coming to an end, and looking ahead to what’s next.
for this very occasion, stoic gives you an amazing new way to revisit 2025 inside the app and explore the unique journey you’ve had. we hope you’ll love it as much as we do! so don't wait any longer, and dive into stoic wrapped 2025!

happy year-end reflections!

dear stoics

you know us — we can’t go a week without improving something! this time, we focused on making your favorites more accessible and easier to use.
from now on, your favorite exercises, journals, and check-ins have a new place on the home screen (or in the sidebar if you journal on ipad and mac). they also have a new name: your practices. so, take a look and see how easy it is to build your own insightful library of activities you love the most and return to every day.
that’s all for now, but as always, stay tuned for something very special coming soon!

happy journaling!
m.

dear stoics,

this week’s update focuses on making your journaling experience smoother and more enjoyable:
- you’ll notice a refreshed look on the journey screen. we’ve given it a small redesign to make reflecting even nicer.
- we also have something for all of you who love stats or enjoy a sense of togetherness: you’ll now find a new counter on your home screen showing how many people journaled with stoic today. a small reminder that you’re part of a big, fantastic community!
- and lastly, we fixed a couple of crashes happening on ipads. thanks to our devs, those are officially a thing of the past!

as usual, keep an eye on future updates - we're always preparing something special.

happy journaling!

we’ve also fixed a few bugs and made improvements across iphone, ipad, and mac apps, especially when it comes to screen width issues.

we hope you enjoy our new additions and stay tuned, as we’ve got plenty more coming up!

dear stoics,

once a year comes the ultimate update, and that time is now! to make stoic ready for the new system and its features, we’ve packed in so many improvements we can’t even list them all. but here are the highlights:

- liquid glass support – enjoy this awesome new design tool in stoic too.
- foundation models – ai features on your device now run smoothly within the app. what does that mean for you? you get uplifting gratification messages in your reflections, receive context-aware notifications, and prompts inspired by your favorite quotes and affirmations. there’s a smart entry history that helps you find and tag your notes more easily, and it also gives you suggestions on how to start writing. all of that is just the beginning!
- because we know journaling isn’t just about features, we’ve also added new reflective content – exercises for anxiety relief to help you feel better during those uncertain moments we all go through.

we hope you love the upgraded stoic and enjoy exploring all the new stuff. let us know what you think!
