Rituell is a quiet reminder to stay close to the people who matter. Sort family, friends and far-away relatives into circles, give each circle its own rhythm, and Rituell shows you a short list each day: just the people it's a good moment to reach out to. No account to create. Nothing leaves your phone. WHO WILL YOU CALL TODAY A short list every morning — an invitation, not a to-do list. One tap to call, WhatsApp, text or FaceTime. CIRCLES SET THE RHYTHM Close family every week, school friends every fortnight, relatives abroad every month — or once a year. Any one person can have their own rhythm instead. Change a circle's pace and everyone following it is gently rescheduled. ONE TAP AFTER YOU TALK When the call ends, say you talked and leave a note if you like: "she mentioned the wedding". Rituell schedules the next catch-up itself and never books two people into the same slot. If you couldn't reach them, push it to tomorrow, three days, next week, or a day you pick. You can log a catch-up without opening the app at all: straight from the notification, from the Home Screen widget, or by telling Siri you spoke to someone. If you tap the wrong thing, undo is always right there. BIRTHDAYS COME ALONG FOR FREE Anyone whose birthday is saved in your contacts is remembered automatically, and you can add one by hand for anybody else. A gentle note in the morning, nothing more. IN STEP WITH YOUR CALENDAR Two-way Apple Calendar sync puts every planned catch-up on your calendar. Move the event there and Rituell moves the reminder. The calendar note links straight back to the person. QUIET, NEVER GUILT-TRIPPING No scores, no streaks, no "you missed one" badges. It speaks only within the hours you set, on the days you choose. If people have been waiting a while, it says so once a day at most.

It's waiting when you come back. • "We talked" from a notification no longer has to open the app. Tapped it by mistake? Undo is right there. • If someone's been waiting a few days, Rituell now says so quietly — once a day at most, only on the days and hours you chose. • Add several people from your contacts in one pass. • Give a birthday to anyone you typed in by hand. • Back up your people, circles and moments to a single file. • Search your own people, a short welcome on first launch, and telling Siri you spoke to someone. Good rhythms. ### 1.0.3 — 2026-07-16 Rituell just got warmer, calmer, and more capable — still no account, still on your device. • Birthdays: Rituell now remembers birthdays from your contacts and gently reminds you on the day. • Add by voice: just tell Siri "Add a ritual to Rituell." • Share to Rituell: send a contact from anywhere straight into a new ritual. • Yearly rhythms: for the people you reach out to just once a year. • Choose your start day: decide when the first ritual lands. • Edit your history: fix the date, notes, or channel of any past connection. • Now fully in English and Turkish. • A gentler redesign: clearer cards, larger tap targets, full VoiceOver support, tap any person to open them, safer circle editing, and countless small refinements. Still no account. Still no cloud. Still just you and your people. ### 1.0.2 — 2026-07-12 Welcome to Rituell! Circles, a daily connection queue, one-tap outreach, two-way calendar sync, and interactive reminders — all private, all on your device. ### 1.0.1 — 2026-06-12 Improvements and Bug Fixes. ### 1.0.0 — 2026-06-10 No release notes. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
