Ritu — Sanskrit Ritucharya for "season" — is a quiet, contemplative practice companion built around classical Ayurveda knowledge. The right practice, for the right person, at the right time. Take a short quiz to find your dosha (Vata, Pitta, or Kapha), then let Ritu shape your daily routine around it. No streak guilt. No notifications shouting at you. Just gentle morning, midday, and night rituals that meet you where you are. WHAT'S INSIDE • Pranayama — guided breathing practices with reference cards and contraindications. Five techniques in the free tier; the full library with Ritu Lifetime. • Guided meditations — voice-led sessions tuned to your Dosha and the time of day. One free intro session; more with Ritu Lifetime. • Soundscapes — ambient tracks for meditation and rest. Singing bowls, river, forest, and more.
