Support

Open Settings inside the app and tap Restore purchases. Make sure you are signed in with the same Apple Account that made the purchase — a subscription belongs to an Apple Account, not to a device.

Subscriptions are managed by Apple, not by us: open the iOS Settings app, tap your name, then Subscriptions, and choose the subscription. Cancelling at least 24 hours before the renewal date stops the next charge; you keep access until the end of the period you already paid for.

The widget timeline holds one entry per day and turns over at midnight, local time. iOS decides when to actually redraw a widget and gives each app a limited refresh budget, so a widget can lag by a few minutes. Opening the app forces a reload. If a widget stays stuck for a full day, remove it and add it again.

Check three things, in this order: the notification toggle in the app’s Settings; iOS Settings → Notifications → the app, where Allow Notifications must be on; and any Focus mode or scheduled summary that could be holding the delivery. The notification is scheduled locally, so it also requires that the app has been opened at least once since the last iOS update.

The app’s language is chosen in its own Settings, independently of your system language: English, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese or Italian. English and French each have their own verified translation, so a passage may read slightly differently in French and in English. The German, Spanish, Portuguese and Italian passages are translated from the English text.

Every passage comes from a public-domain edition, lightly modernized for readability, and carries its canonical reference. In English: Long (1862) for the Meditations, Gummere (1917–1925) for the Letters to Lucilius, Stewart (1889) for Seneca’s dialogues, Carter (1758) for the Enchiridion and Long (1877) for the Discourses. The French passages come from separate French editions, not from a translation of the English: Couat (1904) for the Pensées, Baillard (1861) for the Lettres à Lucilius and Seneca’s dialogues, Guyau (1875) for the Manuel and Courdaveaux (1862) for the Entretiens. The German, Spanish, Portuguese and Italian passages are translated from these English editions, and every edition credit says so. Modern copyrighted translations are never used. Each edition is credited in the app, on the Corpus screen, and in the footer of this site.

Please tell us, and include the reference as displayed: stoiqueapp+emmanuel@captaindev.io. Corrections ship through the versioned corpus file: with Stoic+ a fix reaches you over the air, without waiting for an app update; otherwise it comes with the next release.

Yes. The corpus is embedded in the app; the daily passage, favorites, widgets and notifications all work with no network at all.
