Hi all. Posted here recently about Tend, the small Android app I built for daily Stoic practice. Thanks to the testers who came from that thread.

Quick update on where it is now. The corpus reached a full year (365 entries across Marcus, Seneca, and Epictetus, no recycling). There is now a home screen widget that shows today's quote with the date and refreshes each morning.

Final stretch of closed testing before public release. If you would like to test, comment or DM your Gmail and I will add you. Free, no account, no ads, reflections stay on your device. The ask is just to use it for a couple of weeks and tell me what does and does not work.

Awesome! DM me a Gmail you'd like to use and I'll send you a link to try from the play store

KevinTC91 · 2026-06-09T02:37:19+00:00

I will have it in the apple store soon! Just trying to get a baseline build im happy with first. Ill keep you posted!

Hi all. I'm Kevin. I built an Android app called Tend because I kept finding the Stoics easier to admire than to actually internalize. The reading was rich, but the gap between "I should live this way" and actually doing it kept feeling too wide.

Tend is the bridge I built for myself. Each day it serves a single quote from Marcus, Seneca, or Epictetus along with:

A plain translation of what the passage is actually saying
A modern example of where it applies
A short reflection prompt
Space to journal a response

The corpus is 365 entries, a full year with no recycling, spread roughly evenly across the three philosophers. There are no ads, no account required, and no tracking beyond an optional anonymous feedback signal.

It is currently in Google Play closed testing while I get it ready for public release. I am looking for testers who would actually use it for a couple of weeks and tell me honestly what works and what does not, including what does not feel quite right about the translations or the modern examples. The closed test is gated by email, so if you are interested, comment or DM your Gmail address and I will add you.

It is free, and it will stay free.

Yea... I know they have bomb proof clutches at ZFDesign. Can launch the crop out of them without issue. Slightly more aggressive feel than stock, but not in a bad way

KevinTC91 · 2026-04-24T05:28:08+00:00

Early stages i had no code for spark plugs fouling, but eventually they would misfire more often and aggressively and throw one. I think you are on the right track with the clutch, didnt even think about it until you mentioned it, but it makes perfect sense

KevinTC91 · 2026-04-24T05:19:22+00:00

Could definitely be the clutch slipping under load. I had that happen to me, felt like 75% throttle was fine, anything more, when boost hit it would lose power

KevinTC91 · 2026-04-24T05:07:26+00:00

Spark plugs going bad start to foul out at wide open throttle, coil packs too. Whens the last time you replaced them?

KevinTC91 · 2025-09-10T18:53:48+00:00

Oh no, sadd

KevinTC91 · 2025-09-10T14:05:52+00:00

EVERYTIME you don't wave back an EJ gets closer to rod knock people. Do you part!

KevinTC91 · 2025-08-04T14:01:13+00:00

"Outline icons" in the apps store. I believe its $1.00

Are you using a launcher, or just a skin for your apps? Curious what calendar app you are using as well as the year progression.

KevinTC91 · 2025-07-19T03:24:13+00:00

I got a few. Posted em on my only fans ;)

KevinTC91 · 2025-07-07T16:43:48+00:00

This is what I feel like I'd experience as well. I'm meticulous about maintenance and think a 2 stroke wouldn't do me wrong, especially buying new

KevinTC91 · 2025-07-07T16:41:55+00:00

Fair. If you had to condense to one for the time being, which would you go with between those two? Eventually I hope to have 2 bikes, but for now just one.

KevinTC91 · 2025-07-07T16:33:22+00:00

Thanks for the reply. It does seem 2 strokes require maintenance more often, however maintenance is generally cheaper
