Dicton: Daily Proverbs

Dicton gives you one proverb a day in your own language, with a short meaning in plain words. It takes under a minute to read, and you can save the ones that speak to you.

ONE PROVERB, EVERY MORNING The same proverb for everyone on the same day, chosen from a catalogue of real sayings in your language. Each one comes with its meaning and a theme, on a screen that shows nothing else.

YOUR LANGUAGE, ITS OWN PROVERBS English and French each have their own catalogue of native sayings. Nothing is translated, so French readers get the proverbs French speakers use.

KEEP THE ONES THAT STAY WITH YOU Save a proverb in one tap and find it again later. Share any proverb as a clean paper card in two taps.

DESIGN Ivory paper, charcoal ink and a serif made for reading, with a dark mode for the evening. There is no feed, and no streaks or points to keep up with.

AN OPTIONAL MORNING REMINDER One optional notification in the morning with the day's proverb. Turn it off whenever you like.
