A big update to Stoic Focus on all Apple platforms →
![]()
Stoic Focus started as a simple way to keep Stoic quotes in the Mac menu bar. It did one thing well, but that was about it. This update turns it into something I actually want to open every day.
You can now turn on daily quote notifications so the app comes to you instead of waiting to be opened. Save favorites when a quote does enough for you that you want it close for good. And when you want more than a random hit of inspiration, you can browse by philosopher and source work: Marcus Aurelius in Meditations, Seneca in Moral Letters, Epictetus in Discourses and the Enchiridion.
The app now works on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. On iPad, the quotes finally get a little more room to breathe. On Mac, it still lives in the menu bar the way it always has, with desktop widgets if you want them.
There are more than 450 quotes from 12 Stoic sources in the app. tvOS support is coming soon, bringing Stoic quotes to the biggest screen in the house.
