About this app

The Stoics called it prosoche — the practice of paying attention.

In a world engineered to steal your focus, prosoche is an act of resistance. This app is your tool for that practice.

FOCUS, GROUNDED IN PHILOSOPHY
Prosoche is a Pomodoro focus timer built around Stoic philosophy. Each session opens with a hand-selected quote from Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, or Epictetus — not as decoration, but as intention. A thought to carry into your work.

25 minutes. One task. Undivided attention.

FEATURES
• Pomodoro timer — 25-minute focus sessions with short and long breaks
• Daily Stoic quotes — a new thought each session from history's greatest minds
• Streak tracking — build a consistent daily practice and watch it compound
• Morning & evening notifications — a quote to begin your day, a reminder to protect your streak
• Clean, distraction-free design — nothing to tap, scroll, or dismiss

• App locking — block distracting apps during your focus sessions
• Morning & evening journal — guided prompts to reflect on your day

WHY STOICISM?
Stoic philosophy has endured for 2,000 years because it works. Marcus Aurelius ran an empire using these principles. Seneca wrote about the brevity of life and how to spend it. Epictetus, born a slave, became one of the most influential thinkers in history.

Their common thread: attention is your most valuable resource. Guard it.

WHO IS THIS FOR?
Students looking for a study timer. Professionals who do deep work. Anyone who has picked up their phone meaning to do one thing and lost an hour. Anyone who has read Meditations and wanted a daily practice to match.

If you have ever felt the cost of a distracted life, Prosoche was built for you.
