Risky Business App – so no risk ever catches you off guard. Every project carries uncertainty. The only question is: do you know your risks – or will they catch you unprepared? Risky Business App turns that vague gut feeling into clear certainty. Capture your risks, assess them honestly, watch how they evolve – and walk into every status meeting with a clear head. Professional, yet refreshingly simple. For Mac, iPad and iPhone. CAPTURED FAST, ASSESSED CLEARLY Your first risk is ready in minutes – by category, probability and impact, optionally from ready-made templates. The app calculates score and priority for you. Format descriptions and mitigation plans just like in a word processor (bold, italic, strikethrough, code, bullet lists). Quick actions, bulk editing and keyboard shortcuts keep you in the flow. THE BIG PICTURE: THE RISK MATRIX See what's really on fire at a glance – every risk in a clear 5×5 grid. Define an intended residual risk and, in the “Current → Target” view, track where each risk should be heading. THE OVERVIEW THAT REASSURES: DASHBOARD & PORTFOLIO Key figures, priorities, target attainment and your top risks – across all projects in the Portfolio, with a priority heatmap and a budget per project. Everything in one place, at last. RISK IN NUMBERS: THE RISK BUDGET What does a risk really cost? Map probability and impact to monetary values and see the financial expected value per risk – and for the whole project. NOTHING SLIPS THROUGH: REVIEW CYCLE & REMINDERS Give every risk its own rhythm: a “Next review” date, a register filter, a dashboard card and gentle reminders make sure no review ever falls through the cracks. FULLY TRACEABLE: TIMELINE & AUDIT Every change is logged with timestamp, user and a field-level diff – for the moment someone asks “who changed this, and when?”. Time series, risk movements and an audit log as Excel, CSV or PDF. IMPRESS AT THE TAP OF A BUTTON: REPORTS & EXPORT A four-page management report and a cross-project portfolio report – as a PDF or an editable PowerPoint, with your company branding and selectable sections. Made for your next steering committee. Plus Excel import and export. TOGETHER, BUT SECURE: MULTI-USER & PROTECTION Built-in user management with multiple accounts, admin roles and per-project permissions. Your shared database is a single file – locally, on a network drive or in your cloud folder – and can be encrypted with a passphrase (AES-GCM). If you like, share a database via iCloud and work on it together in real time (Beta). Face ID / Touch ID adds another layer. AT HOME IN APPLE’S WORLD Home and Lock Screen widgets, a Control Center control, Siri shortcuts that even read your risk status aloud, and due-date reminders. Thoughtfully accessible (VoiceOver, Dynamic Type, contrast). English, German, Spanish. Universal for Mac, iPad and iPhone. YOUR DATA IS YOURS No third-party account, no forced cloud. The database is a file you control – and encrypt whenever you like. Take control. Sleep a little easier. SYSTEM REQUIREMENT Requires iOS 26, iPadOS 26 or macOS 26. If a database is shared across several devices, they all need to run version 2.3 or newer. ## Version history (last 5 releases) ### 2.11 — 2026-09-23 POWERPOINT: REAL SLIDES INSTEAD OF SCREENSHOTS • Every chart is drawn, not photographed: bars, lines, columns, the risk matrix with its arrows and the project matrix with its bubbles are built from PowerPoint shapes. You can select them, move them, recolour them, and they stay sharp at any zoom; the text in them is searchable. Before, most charts were embedded images. • Readable from across the room: charts sit in framed cards with a grid and a labelled value axis, the tiles and cards carry the same symbols as the app, and every arrow in both matrices is labelled with its risk number. The “Top risks” page now shows 20 risks instead of 12. MORE IN THE REPORT • Two new distributions: the dashboard shows how the risks spread across risk proximity and across risk response – both cards travel into the management report. “Not specified” is always shown, so the sum matches your actual stock. • The total risk budget in three figures: gross, today and target side by side – where you would stand without any measures, where you stand, where you want to be. • The top risks get a page and a slide of their own, the measures figures (open, overdue, development, share per owner) now appear in the management report as well, and the trend of selected risks shows four panels instead of one: score and risk cost, each as a sum and as an average. • The reports page is reordered: reports first, then templates, then the options. SYSTEM SEARCH (OPTIONAL) • Find risks from the device's search: a switch in the settings makes your risks findable through Spotlight or the search field; a hit opens that risk in the register. Off by default – only the identifier, title, category, status and project name go into the index, not the description, action plan, comments or documents. • And gone again when you say so: switching it off deletes the existing index at once. The same applies with an encrypted database, the biometric lock switched on, and while signed out – nothing is indexed in those cases, and the settings name the reason. The entries stay on the device. APPEARANCE • A fourteenth theme and five darker variants: “Deep Blue Ocean” (deep blue, deep green, sand) joins the list, and its light variant is deliberately much darker than the others – you can tell in broad daylight that this is a quiet one. For the same reason Dark Knight, Fire service, Police and Forest have been pulled down as well. Readability sets the limit: the text stays black and keeps the tested minimum everywhere. FIXED • On Mac and iPad the divider between list and detail column now always halves – the area beside the sidebar when it is shown, the whole width when it is not. Before, every switch in the sidebar threw it into a position where the detail column clung to its minimum width. • Switching language: several places kept the old one – sheets and popovers, every text with a number inserted into it, and the generated reports, which followed the language the app was started in. Everything follows the language you set now. • Counted texts use the right form: “1 risk” instead of “1 risks”, in all three languages and also where a second value appears in the sentence. • The login screens did not carry the tint of the chosen theme, the title of a matrix popover stayed German, and the legend of the activity chart was untranslated. • PowerPoint: on the matrix slide the list by priority ran off the bottom; the measures part showed technical keys instead of headings; numbers beside the bars wrapped; and the peak value of a curve disappeared underneath it. ### 2.10 — 2026-09-20 LINKING DOCUMENTS • Where the results are: for every risk (“Documents for this risk”) and every measure (“Evidence”) you record a label and an address – the project file share, an intranet page, a ticket. One click opens it in the app responsible. Only the address is stored, never the file: the database stays small and your documents stay where your team maintains them anyway. • Clean entries only, all the way into the report: the field accepts web addresses and network shares (https, http, smb, afp, ftps, sftp) and turns a Windows path into an SMB address. The evidence appears as a column of its own in the measures report, the documents as an optional column in the register – and in Excel both travel along, on import too. MEASURES AS A WORK LIST • Numbers first: select “Measures” in the sidebar and you get an overview – on Mac and iPad beside the list, on iPhone via the “Overview” button: open, overdue, closed, total, plus the development over time and the share per owner. Under “Open” and “Overdue” you see how many of them belong to risks with critical or high priority. The measures report carries those numbers as its first page. • Filter until only your own is left: by owner – the names come from the measures you have recorded – and by the priority of the risk. “Overdue” plus “Critical or high” plus your name answers “what is burning on my desk?” in three moves. REPORTS • Templates: report kind, sections, columns, filter and period get a name – “Monthly report for the board” is then a single click. Every template is applied before it produces anything. Templates live in the database and apply to everyone; “last 30 days” shows the last month every month. • Filtering reports: priority, status, category, due date, “review due” and the period apply to every report in the section – and a filtered report says in its header that it is filtered. • Tidied up: every report has the same row with “Preview” and its formats, its own options sit with it, and whatever applies to all of them sits at the top in a “Report options” card. On iPhone and iPad the buttons are no longer oversized. APPEARANCE • Thirteen themes: under “Settings → Theme” you choose the shade in which the app draws its surfaces – from quietly tinted to high contrast, each with its own variant for light and dark and every surface checked for readability. Every view and window shares the same surfaces. Plus three new accent colors (Orange, Red, Gold); priority and status keep their colors, in the reports as well. FIXED • iCloud: devices showed permanently different contents – something deleted could reappear through a device that never received the deletion, and a rename or a password reset could be reverted by a device with an outdated state. Deletions now travel with a timestamp, and the newer version wins. • iCloud: changes from other devices often took minutes to show up on the Mac – or only once you switched windows; anything made during an interruption sat there until a restart. The app now fetches by itself. • Excel import: a workbook from another database overwrote existing risks; fields and the project assignment were lost as well. • One broken entry no longer costs the whole collection: if an entry was unreadable, everything after it was missing. The rest is read now, and the file is backed up first. And switching language works everywhere – window titles, menus and the “All” option used to stay German. • iPhone: a risk’s detail view, the measures filter row and its heading were clipped at the sides; and tapping a cell of the risk matrix showed no risks. • Mac: empty text fields in the risk form were impossible to spot and the “Owner” field beeped after the first letter; the window started out tiny, Settings opened at the bottom, and the divider started on the right instead of centred. • A measure's evidence now appears in the change history, and the measures list builds in a fraction of the time. ### 2.9 — 2026-09-16 Risky Business – so no risk ever catches you off guard. Every project carries uncertainty. The only question is: do you know your risks – or will they catch you unprepared? Risky Business turns that vague gut feeling into clear certainty. Capture your risks, assess them honestly, watch how they evolve – and walk into every status meeting with a clear head. Professional, yet refreshingly simple. For Mac, iPad and iPhone. CAPTURED FAST, ASSESSED CLEARLY Your first risk is ready in minutes – by category, probability and impact, optionally from ready-made templates. The app calculates score and priority for you.

NOTHING SLIPS THROUGH: REVIEW CYCLE & REMINDERS Give every risk its own rhythm: a “Next review” date, a register filter, a dashboard card and gentle reminders make sure no review ever falls through the cracks. FROM INTENTION TO TASK: MEASURES Every risk can carry individual measures – each with an owner, a due date and a status. You tick them off in the row, not in a form. Overdue measures show up as a dashboard card and a register filter, and – if you want – as a reminder ahead of the due date. For bulk work there is an Excel sheet of its own. FULLY TRACEABLE: TIMELINE & AUDIT Every change is logged with timestamp, user and a field-level diff – for the moment someone asks “who changed this, and when?”. Time series, risk movements and an audit log as Excel, CSV or PDF. IMPRESS AT THE TAP OF A BUTTON: REPORTS & EXPORT Four reports in a “Reports” section of their own: a management report and a cross-project portfolio report as a PDF or an editable PowerPoint, plus the full risk register and every measure as a PDF or an Excel workbook – with your company branding, selectable sections and the audit log alongside. Made for your next steering committee. Plus Excel import and export. TOGETHER, BUT SECURE: MULTI-USER & PROTECTION Built-in user management with multiple accounts, admin roles and per-project permissions. Your shared database is a single file – locally, on a network drive or in your cloud folder – and can be encrypted with a passphrase (AES-GCM). If you like, share a database via iCloud and work on it together in real time (Beta) — only with people you invite by name, with read or write access per person, revocable at any time. Face ID / Touch ID adds another layer. AT HOME IN APPLE’S WORLD Home and Lock Screen widgets, a Control Center control, Siri shortcuts that even read your risk status aloud, and due-date reminders. Thoughtfully accessible (VoiceOver, Dynamic Type, contrast). English, German, Spanish. Universal for Mac, iPad and iPhone. YOUR DATA IS YOURS No third-party account, no forced cloud. The database is a file you control – and encrypt whenever you like, backups included. Take control. Sleep a little easier. SYSTEM REQUIREMENT Requires iOS 26, iPadOS 26 or macOS 26. If a database is shared across several devices, they all need to run version 2.3 or newer. ### 2.8 — 2026-09-10 ASSESSING RISKS MORE PRECISELY • Risk proximity: record how urgent a risk is — imminent, short, medium or long term. Two risks with the same score call for action at different speeds if one can happen next week and the other only next year. The register can filter and sort by it, putting the urgent ones first. • Risk response: avoid, reduce, transfer or accept — the decision now sits right next to the mitigation plan, because it governs it. • Gross risk: record the rating without the measures already in place. Only then can you evidence what your work achieved: the detail view names the reduction (“lowered from gross 20 to 12”). • Inherent, current and target in one bar: the three ratings sit side by side — in the form as well as in the detail view — each with its score. You pick the one you want to change or see in detail; the other two numbers stay visible, so the comparison follows along. They carry the same labels everywhere (“Without measures”, “Today”, “Aimed for”), and each comes with a short line saying what it stands for. • Rating over time: if a risk has been assessed differently over time, its detail view shows the score as a chart across time, with the priority thresholds for orientation. CLARITY AND COLLABORATION • Several risks on one time axis: the risk timeline has a new chart, “Selected risks over time”. You pick the risks — with the same filters as in the register — and see them develop together: as a sum or an average, by score or by risk cost, over the period you choose. Individual risks can be added as their own line. • Legible movement matrices: in “Current → Target” and “Risk movements”, risks that move the same way are bundled into one arrow (“R-007 +3”, a tap opens the list). Select an arrow and the others step back but stay legible — and what you tap is now the arrow itself, not just its label. • Projects per invited person: in “iCloud & sharing” you set, next to the role, which projects someone sees — all of them or a selection. That provides clarity; iCloud still shares the database itself as a whole. • “New risk” on the Mac as well: the control that starts a new risk without going through the app used to exist on iPhone and iPad only. On the Mac you now find it in Control Center or the menu bar too. • More in the export: the new chart travels along as a page or slide of its own — with named axes and a line stating which risks it covers; in the management report it is the fifth section. The register export and Excel additionally carry risk proximity, risk response and the gross risk; an Excel workbook from an older version does not clear those values on import. FIXED • Opening a risk on iPhone: tapping a risk in the register highlighted the row but did not open the detail view – it now opens. On iPad and Mac the detail view was always visible anyway. • Save now says what is missing: when “Save” was greyed out, the reason stayed unsaid. The form now names the missing mandatory field at the top, and the field itself is marked. • Target score sorted correctly: in the table view on the Mac, the target score sorted like text (10 before 9). It is numeric now. • Cleaning up legacy accounts in iCloud: “Remove user accounts from iCloud” failed with an error instead of deleting what was left behind. Note: Version 2.8 requires iOS 26, iPadOS 26 or macOS 26. For a database shared via iCloud, everyone involved should update to 2.8: devices on an older version do not know risk proximity, risk response and gross risk, and clear those values when they save. ### 2.7 — 2026-09-06 WORKING TOGETHER – SIMPLER AND SAFER • No second password: anyone invited to an iCloud database now works with their Apple account. A user account in the shared database is no longer needed, and there are no credentials to hand over. Until now this often ended in a dead end: the invited person accepted, was signed out — and without an account could not get in. • No sign-in on your own devices: pick the same iCloud database on a second Mac, iPad or iPhone and you carry straight on. Your Apple account identifies you — no database password is needed there any more. Until now you landed on the sign-in screen, and on a device that had never loaded this database even in first-time setup. • Roles instead of accounts: in “iCloud & sharing” you give each person a role — Administrator, Contributor or View only — and change it at any time. Until a role is assigned the person can read, and the app tells them so instead of leaving them in front of an apparently broken app. • Sharing in three clear steps: the page spells out the whole sequence — invite, deliver the invitation, assign the role — each with its consequence, not just the instruction. • Revoke access in one move: “Revoke access” in the participant list removes the person from the share and their role. A later re-invitation therefore does not quietly restore their old rights. SECURITY • Passwords no longer leave for iCloud: until now every invited person had to receive the database's user accounts including the stored password verifiers — technically necessary for the sign-in to work. That is gone entirely, because there is no sign-in any more. • Clean up what was left behind: for databases shared before this version, “Remove user accounts from iCloud …” deletes the accounts transferred earlier. The prompt states the consequence for devices still running an older version first. FIXED • Complete data on every device: when one device showed fewer risks than the others, waiting was the only option. The app now detects an incomplete state itself, and “Reload everything” fetches the database from iCloud in full on demand. • Reliable fetch at launch: if the first connection to iCloud failed — because the network was not ready yet, for instance — nothing was said. The attempt is now retried and a failure reported. • Risks stay visible: in shared databases, risks could be missing for a while as long as their projects had not been transferred yet. • A calmer sharing page: the button no longer changes its label while the page loads. Note: Version 2.7 requires iOS 26, iPadOS 26 or macOS 26. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
