How It Works

Three simple ways to make Stoic journaling part of your daily life.

1. Use Daily Email Templates

Receive a guided journaling template every morning by email. Simply copy it into your favorite note-taking app like Apple Notes, Notion, Obsidian, or Day One.

2. Use the API

Prefer automation? Sign up to get your personal API key and programmatically fetch daily templates. Great for Shortcuts, scripts, or custom workflows.

3. Journal Your Way

We don't lock you into a specific platform. Whether you prefer handwriting, digital notes, or your favorite journaling app, StoicAdvice supports your flow with flexible templates.

Use Case: Apple Shortcuts + Journaling

Automate your Stoic journaling with iPhone, iPad, or Mac.

Want a seamless, automated journaling flow on your Apple device? Here’s how you can do it in just a few steps:

  • Sign up and get your personal API key from your StoicAdvice dashboard.
  • Create a Shortcut on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac that makes a GET request to the StoicAdvice API to fetch your daily journaling template.
  • Automatically create a new entry in the Apple Notes app or the Apple Journals app using the fetched template.
  • The template includes a Stoic quote, a meditation topic, and morning/evening prompts—ready for you to reflect on and write.
  • We’ll provide a pre-built Shortcut on the website that’s already populated and ready to use—just add your API key and you’re all set.

This is a great option if you want to journal privately on your own device, with no copy-pasting or extra setup.

Why Reflect Daily?

“The soul becomes dyed with the color of its thoughts.”
