Encara: Lock Screen Quotes

One short, wise thought on the screen you already look at.

Encara puts timeless lines on your iPhone Lock Screen and Home Screen widgets. They come from the Stoics, classical authors, the Chinese and Japanese classics, the Spanish and French moralists, and established proverbs.

"The soul takes on the colour of its thoughts." — Marcus Aurelius
