Sunday, four things due
Starting stops being the hard part.
Tell him the whole mess — the essay, the problem set, the reading you have been avoiding since Tuesday. He gives it back as one next step, and one is a thing you can actually begin.
For students · macOS
Meet Stoiq.
A small yeti who lives on your Mac, keeps you company while you work, and catches you the second the scroll starts.
He plans the week with you, holds the focus block, and brings you back to the exact paragraph you left. No streaks. No lecture. No guilt about the hour you already lost.

Lives on your MacCatches the scrollNever guilt-trips you
hi. i’m stoiq. what are we finishing today?
He walks. He notices. He knows when to say nothing.
What he’s for
Less chaos. More done.
Not a system to learn and not a dashboard to keep up with. One small creature who knows what you sat down to do.
Tuesday, 40 minutes
The hour goes where you meant it to.
Pick what you are working on and how long. He sits in the corner while you do it — quiet, one glance away, and there when you look up.
2am, one more video
You lose the tab, not the night.
Open TikTok mid-block and he notices in seconds and asks if you want to go back. He knows which paragraph you were on. Keep scrolling and he draws the line — the feed goes behind him until the block is done.
Getting distracted isn’t a failure.
There is no streak to break, nothing to lose by closing the laptop, and no counter keeping score of your bad weeks. He is a witness, not a warden. When you come back — tomorrow, or in six days — he still knows where you were.
The 2am save
Lose the tab. Not the night.
You did not decide to open TikTok. Nobody does. It is 2am, the essay is nine hundred words short, and somewhere in the last forty minutes your thumb made a decision your brain was not part of.
He shows up small and asks first, because sometimes the tab really is the work. Most of the time that is the whole rescue. Keep going and he draws the line — the feed sits behind him until the block is finished.
He can’t read your screen. No keystrokes, no screenshots, nothing about your messages. He sees the sites you asked him to shield and the work you told him about, and nothing else.
What you get out of it
Your focus grows an actual garden.
While you focus he slips off somewhere and comes back with what he found. A fern from a cloud forest. A monstera he will not explain. Put them wherever you like on your desktop; they grow for exactly as long as you do.
Nothing wilts. Nothing resets. Nothing is ever taken away.
Skip a fortnight and the plant is still there, the same size you left it. That is the entire deal, and it is the one every app that kills your streak gets wrong.
The Day One offer
Day One. Yours forever.
Lifetime licence — one payment, no renewals.
Day Ones Lifetime is normally $89. The founding offer takes $60 off automatically, so you pay $29 once. You do not need a code; if a creator sent you, their code simply makes sure they receive credit.

Stoiq for Mac, yours for good.
What being a Day One gets you
A wearable only Day Ones can get.Planned
Something for your companion to wear, made for the people who were here first and never sold to anyone who arrives later. It does not exist yet. When it does, it lands on your account without you asking.
Every character we ever make, included forever.
The yeti, the red panda, the raccoon — and every companion after them. Not a bundle you bought, a licence that keeps covering them.
Your number, visible in the app.At launch
Founding purchases are numbered in the order they arrive. Yours is recorded the moment you buy, and the app shows it — the lower it is, the earlier you were.
A permanent founding badge.At launch
Not a beta badge that disappears when the beta does. It is a permanent fact about your account, and it stays after everyone else arrives.
A numbered Day One card, worth sharing.Planned
Your ordinal on something you can actually post. One per founding purchase, and the number on it is the one in our books.
The founding plant: a Monstera albo.Planned
Everyone who focuses grows a monstera. Day Ones grow the albo — the rare variegated one, white-marbled, the plant people queue for in real life. It only ever goes to the people who were here first.
At launch means it ships with the paid build. Planned means decided, not built. We would rather name the thing honestly than invent a feature to sell a page. Whatever we make for Day Ones reaches you retroactively, at no extra cost.
Why the price is this low right now
- Stoiq is early. The people buying now are the ones who were here before it was obvious, and that gets written down — your purchase is flagged Day One, permanently, with the order it came in.
- $29 is the lowest price Stoiq will ever carry. It ends at public launch, it is not repeated, and it does not come back for a sale. Every price after it goes up.
Before you buy
The boring true parts.
30 days, full refund, no questions. Write to hi@stoiq.ai — a person reads it.
It is a Mac app. macOS 15 or newer, with the browser companion included. The iPhone app comes with it and costs nothing extra.
Your purchase attaches to your email. Stoiq is free only until you buy. Sign in with the address on your receipt and the paid app unlocks — no licence key to lose, and you will never be asked to buy the same lifetime licence twice.
A creator code is optional. The $60 Day Ones offer is applied automatically. If somebody sent you, their code makes sure they receive credit.
Prices are in US dollars. Payment is handled by Stripe — we never see your card. See all plans
