What is Stoic Alarm?

An iPhone alarm app with wake-up challenges, daily Stoic readings, and an optional journal. Build a morning practice around waking up, finding perspective, and reflecting.

Do I have to write to dismiss an alarm?

No. Journaling is optional and separate from wake-up challenges. You can choose math, typing, memory, or shake as your alarm challenge. An emergency dismissal remains available.

Do I need to know anything about Stoicism?

No background needed. The readings introduce ideas from Stoic philosophy with commentary you can consider in ordinary daily life.

Where does my journal go?

Journal entries are stored locally on your device. Cloud sync is not currently offered, so entries do not automatically follow you to another phone.
