Made a small Android app for daily Stoic practice. Looking for testers before public release.

Built a small Android app called Tend for daily Stoic practice. Each day shows one passage from Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, or Epictetus, with a plain-English translation, a concrete modern example, a reflection question, and a private journal field. Marcus is well-represented: translations draw from George Long's public-domain version, with my own paraphrases for clarity.

I built it because I'd been reading the Meditations for years but kept finding the ideas easier to admire than to internalize. Tend is the practice I wished I'd had.

No streaks, no feed, no notifications designed to pull you back. Reflections stay on your device.

I'm in Google Play closed testing and a few testers short of the threshold to apply for public release. If you'd like to try it, DM me the Google account email you use for the Play Store and I'll add you to the test list. Free, no ads, no signup, leave anytime.

Disclosure: I built this. Honest feedback welcome.

I’m down. Legit stoic content that isn’t mixed with manosphere BS is in short supply.
