If you were a Heroic or Optimize member before Philosopher's Notes moved to its own platform, your old login won't carry over on its own. This article covers why that happens, why your access is still valid, and how to activate your account in a few minutes.
Philosopher's Notes now lives on its own standalone platform, separate from your original Heroic or Optimize account.
The new PN platform runs on a separate login system from Heroic.us.
Resetting your old Heroic.us password won't fix this, since the two systems don't share credentials.
You need a one-time activation on the new platform to link it to your existing membership.
Yes. If you had lifetime, coach, or an active Optimize/Heroic membership that included Philosopher's Notes, that access carries forward at no extra cost.
You are not being asked to pay the new-member price ($99) again.
A paywall or "sign up" prompt means your account hasn't been activated yet, not that you've lost access.
The new PNs live on the standalone platform at app.philosophersnotes.com.
They also live inside the Heroic app itself, so once activated you can read them there too.
Look for the activation email sent to the email address on your Heroic account. Check spam or promotions if you don't see it.
Click the link in that email to create your login on the new PN platform.
Set a new PN password. This is separate from your old Heroic.us password, so don't reuse it.
Going forward, log in with your new password on the standalone PN platform or inside the Heroic app, both work with the same login.
Don't keep clicking an expired link or resetting your old password, that loop won't resolve it.
Email [email protected] and request a fresh activation link sent to your account email.
Confirm the email address on file matches the one you use for Heroic.
Email [email protected] to have the activation email resent.
Content you already owned (older PNs, Optimal Living, Plus One videos or PDFs) showing as locked is a side effect of the platform migration, not an intentional change.
Email [email protected] with the email on your account so we can reconnect your access.
Email [email protected] with the email address associated with your Heroic membership.
Let us know whether you're seeing a password error, an expired link, missing content, or something else, it helps us fix it faster.
