I am building an iOS app based on Stoicism and the Memento Mori philosophy
Hi everyone,
About six months ago, I stumbled upon Stoicism, and it completely changed my perspective. The concept of Memento Mori hit me particularly hard—the realization that our time is finite and we should spend it meaningfully.
Since then, I’ve become much more goal-oriented. I wanted to make sure that each month has something worth remembering. As a developer, I decided to combine this philosophy with my long-time dream of building a mobile app. It’s been a hobby project of mine to help track the principles I’ve been trying to live by.
I’ve built three main features so far:
Life Journey Visualization: A visual representation of where you are in your life path. It’s a bit of a reality check, but very effective for staying grounded.
Milestone Tracking: This isn't for daily chores or habit tracking. It’s for "Big Rocks"—goals like learning an instrument, traveling to a specific country, or finishing a major project.
Memory Lane: This is my personal favorite. You can write a short summary and add a few key photos for each month. It’s not a massive gallery; it’s a monthly "essence." Since using it, I’ve found myself actively looking for positive, memorable moments just so I have something meaningful to record at the end of the month.
Tech Stack:
- React Native / Expo Framework
- Development Tools: Cursor AI, VS Code, Claude
I’d love to get your feedback/help/brainstorming:
I want to improve the app, but I want to keep it simple and focused on intentionality. What features or concepts do you think would make a "Stoic-inspired" app more useful for your daily life? What helps you stay out of "autopilot mode"?
The app is a pure hobby project—completely free, no ads, no subscriptions.
