stoic is your journaling companion – it helps you understand your emotions and provides insights on how to be happier, more productive, and overcome obstacles through carefully crafted guided journals on all things mental health.
Hello Product Hunters! 😸
We're excited to launch the next generation of stoic – the only journaling app you'll ever need.
stoic started over 6 years ago with a mission to help people understand their emotions and provide insights on how to be happier, more productive, and overcome obstacles.
Today, we have over 3 million people improving their mental health and living a happier life by journaling with stoic.
At its core, stoic helps you prepare for your day in the morning and reflect on your day in the evening. In the process, we also guide you to journal with thought-provoking prompts, build better habits, track your moods, and more.
We offer guided journals that covers all aspects of life from happiness, gratitude, productivity, self-discovery, stress & anxiety, relationships, therapy, sleep, and so much more. Every week, we cover new themes and provide a new prompt each day.
Over the years, we've added plenty of thoughtful new features to stoic such as:
• Journaling Suggestions based on events in your life such as places you've been to, people you've met, photos you've taken, your favorite music, and more.
• A suite of AI-powered features that give you personalized reflections, writing analysis, and smart notifications to help you journal and reflect better.
• Stoic Shield to block distracting apps when you want to focus on things that matter more.
and so much more that I can't cover in one comment, so go check it out for yourself! 😄

Journaling is something that can be intimidating and overwhelming to many and we aim to reduce those barriers, make it simpler and easier to build as a habit, and make mental health tools more accessible.
We're here to answer any questions you may have 🤗
I hit that upvote button! how does stoic. keep it personal? Journaling's super private, almost sacred. Can AI really tap into that without making it feel like you’re just talking to a clever mirror?
@aman_wen We've built stoic to respect your privacy right from the start. The AI features are completely opt-in and every single time you want to use an AI feature, you'll have the option to see exactly what data you'd be okay sharing with OpenAI (since we use the APIs, the data will not be used to train the model). If you don't use the AI features, all your data is stored locally on your devices or in your personal iCloud account if you enable Automatic Sync.
That said, we do strongly believe that AI can help us reflect a lot better and is a great aid to journaling.
@noga_dev we're a small team that specializes for Apple platforms but it's on the roadmap. we just launched the V1 of our web app and it'll get better over time to be used as a PWA on Android perhaps. stay tuned!
@noga_dev we've planned a refresh for that too but in all transparency, it'll never be 1:1 with our iOS/iPadOS/macOS counterparts since we use a lot of Apple technologies and don't store any of your private data on a cloud, so it'll never work with our main apps. It'd have to be a standalone app much like it is right now (but we'll give it some more love).
Stoic is the most worthwhile subscription I have. There are so many thoughtful activities and prompts, you sure sure to find something that sparks your thinking. I love, love, love that you can personalize your morning reflection and have it dynamically personalized for you based on your responses each morning. If you have another journal you’re already using, you can export each entry in text or markdown and pop it in there in a matter of seconds. But you’re going to like the clean and pleasant aesthetic of the stoic journal, you may find you drop the old journal when it’s time to renew.
@krissaswain thank you so much for your comment Krissa! We're working on using Markdown throughout stoic and being able to import from other journaling apps too!
I am very excited for people to see, our latest AI feature and how we have changed since we started for those who have been following us for several years 😻
Stoic sounds incredible! I love how it's designed to help people understand their emotions and improve their mental health through guided journaling. It's great to see an app that's making mental health tools more accessible and helping people build better habits. Congrats on your launch!
congratulations on the launch of stoic. with its focus on emotional understanding and productivity, it seems like a valuable tool. i'm curious about the ai reflections feature—how does it tailor insights to individual users' entries, and how does it ensure privacy while analyzing sensitive data?
@mashy Thanks for your comment Albert! I answered this in another reply, but to summarize, we make use of the latest GPT-4o model from OpenAI to power our AI features and provide insightful prompts personalized for you based on your inputs. The AI features are completely opt-in and you have full control over exactly what data you want to share with OpenAI (which is not used to train their models) each time you want to use an AI feature.
All your other data stays on your devices or on your personal iCloud drive :)
This is a beautiful tool and a great update. I love how helpful it is for staying consistent with journaling and keeping myself in tune with my overall mental health. Incredible work! 🙌
Discovered stoic. iOS app I think in March… m. from the team was so nice to allow me to test the full features with Ai for 7 days! Those 7 days turned me into a annual subscriber with Ai ❤️
If you’re looking for a simple yet satisfying and deep app for growth, awareness, mindfulness… I’d recommend stoic. a million times over! It’s a true self improvement app and has a perfect feature set in my opinion and of course for my use.
Super excited with this new launch for stoic. for Ai Reflections! Huge hug and thanks to the stoic.
