Privacy Policy

The Stoic Guidance Mobile App is a digital companion designed to bring ancient wisdom into modern life. This mobile application helps users navigate daily challenges and decisions through the lens of Stoic philosophy, one of history's most practical philosophical traditions. The app's primary goal is to make timeless wisdom accessible and actionable for contemporary users seeking clarity, resilience, and peace of mind.

Users can ask personal questions about relationships, work stress, difficult decisions, or any life situation they're facing. The app then provides thoughtful, personalized guidance rooted in Stoic principles from philosophers like Marcus Aurelius, Epictetus, and Seneca. Each response includes relevant quotes from these ancient thinkers along with practical advice tailored to the user's specific situation.

The basic flow is simple: users either type their own question or select from popular pre-written prompts, then receive comprehensive guidance that includes a summary, detailed advice, and inspirational quotes. The app serves as a pocket philosopher, offering wisdom and perspective whenever users need guidance or a moment of reflection.
