Stoic recognized among the first apps to leverage Apple’s Foundation Models Framework

We’re honored that Apple featured Stoic in their recent Newsroom article announcing the launch of the Foundation Models framework on iOS 26.

In Apple’s own words, Foundation Models “unlock new intelligent app experiences” by running AI locally on your device — keeping data private, fast, and deeply personal.

For us, that’s a perfect match with Stoic’s mission. We’ve always believed mental health tools should feel personal and private, not powered by distant servers. Thanks to this new framework, Stoic can now adapt prompts and reflections to your current state of mind — entirely on your device.

“With the Foundation Models framework, prompts and reflections now adapt to a user’s state of mind, so the experience feels personal and evolves day by day,” said Maciej Łobodziński, Stoic’s founder.
“What amazed me was how quickly we could build these ideas. Features that once required heavy backend infrastructure now run natively with minimal setup. That let our small team deliver huge value fast while keeping every user’s data private.”

We’re proud to stand alongside other world-class apps pioneering this shift toward on-device intelligence. Stoic’s inclusion highlights how AI can empower well-being without compromising privacy.
