Ulysses & the Sirens
The self-control journal with no streaks.
Sailing home from Troy, Ulysses didn’t trust willpower — he had himself tied to the mast. Each night, name what you resisted and the rope that held you, and tie the knot.
$4.99 once · iPhone · iPad · Mac · Apple Watch · Apple Vision Pro · no subscription, ever
One question each evening: what did you resist today — and what was the rope that held you? Name the rope, tie the knot, and build a journal of every time you held. It wasn’t strength that saved him. It was the rope.
No streaks. Ever.
Knots only count up. Nothing you have tied can be untied by a missed day — quiet weeks are part of every voyage.
When the siren sings
Temptation doesn’t wait for your evening review. A guided minute of breathing, with the ropes that have held you before at hand.
Your ropes, tested
See which techniques actually hold you and which temptations keep returning. Insight, not guilt.
The bigger picture
Art, law, ritual, science — the ropes civilizations braid together. Anchor them, annotate them, braid your own.
Stand on the deck
On Apple Vision Pro, the journal becomes a place: sirens singing in spatial audio, sailors’ constellations, and fireworks earned by knots.
Private by design
No account, no servers, no analytics, no ads. Your journal lives on your devices and in your private iCloud — nowhere else.
Everything aboard
One $4.99 purchase covers every platform and every feature:
Yours, and only yours
No account, no tracking, no ads — we couldn’t read your journal if we wanted to. Export everything as PDF or JSON whenever you like. And if the rope has held you, an optional “Patron of the Voyage” tip unlocks nothing but a golden lantern icon and our gratitude.
