Daily wisdom from psychology & the Stoics

Small truths,
well timed.

Glaux turns real findings from psychology into beautiful flash cards — then tunes the advice to your day. Named after the owl of Athena, the ancient symbol of wisdom, Glaux brings you one clear idea at the moment it matters, and then gets out of your way.

Reads your rhythm, not your diary.

Advice that knows your day

Reads your rhythm, not your diary.

Your wake, work and bed times, how much you've moved, whether you're home, at work or out, and even the tone of today's world and market headlines all shape which card you see and the advice it gives. Everything is analysed on your device.
